It was the first one there too, so it must be fast.

Yup.

It took me so long to figure out what was different between these two pictures... feeling stupid now for not seeing it right away! For some reason I was expecting the change to be on the window line.

Blacked out the lower skirt. The Challenger does the same thing to visually shorten its otherwise slab-like body to great effect.

Sup fellow QR goon. I'm from Car Mods Aus and was there all day (which didn't go too well for any of our cars...).

Here's a shot I got of the car that we own, an 05 STI with APR widebody and Cosworth motor:

I may be at QR again this Saturday for the MR2 nationals event - after watching you guys im keen to get out on the track.

That hub looks like some sort of cheap scifi prop / space dildo. That are the little prongies and green dome for? Quick removal and install of the big ole knockoff nut?

The prongs are a safety, so the nut cant back off on its own.

This is cool as gently caress and I never knew it existed. Same platform as the Supra... Toyota Soarer Aerocabin. http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/06/toyota-soarer-aerocabin/

quote:

It’s one of only 500 built, all made in Japan during the month of April 1989. Each Aerocabin came with the same options: a 3.0L turbo, automatic transmission, white over gold two-tone pearl paint and of course the power folding hard-top.

A friend of mine designs the exhaust systems for the Lotus F1 cars. Pretty crazy what goes into the design alone, but he tells me that each manifold costs about £10,000 and the team carry 4 or 5 spare sets. They're made from Inconel, mandrel bent and supplied by GoodFabs and welded up in-house at Lotus.

F1 team technical budgets are insane.
