Also, I want to know what they've swapped into that Mini. Bike engine? VTEC?

Mini-Hayabusa has been done more than a few times.

This looks like some kind of WWII era 37mm anti-tank gun. The closest thing I can find is the M3 37mm gun, but the shield and the barrel end aren't quite right, but it could still be a variant of the M3.

edit: could also be a Flak 30/38 (2cm) in which case that's a German gun.

I'm almost certain that it's a 25mm French Hotchkiss anti-tank gun.

It was a Fiat 126, it appears to have had a run in with a European Ultimateforce.

Correct.

This is what some random Dane did to his 26HP Fiat 126



I really don't know if it belongs here, but I think it does.

The guy in the oncoming Volvo F16 (or F12?) reacted pretty fast. Probably saved his life.

No, they use Hydropneumatic or load leveling Hydractive suspension. You of all people should know that.

Jesus christ, post pictures of cars for gently caress's sake. Nobody clicks on this thread for HYDROGEN CHAT. I clicked on the thread because it had 14 updates. Who doesn't want to look at badass car stuff at 9:00am from the toilet? Apparently none of you guys. Thx for ruining my poo poo.



Relax man. I think this is a SRT of some kind. Definitely no body rust.

I thought we reached our limit when we hit Mars with unmanned drones and polluted it's surface with lovely robots. I guess, I was wrong. Nothing can stop Human ingenuity. Where does one buy such a marvelous thing?

My erection upon seeing this is mirroring the torque curve.



Ever higher.

The torque curve is pretty drat ideal and rather flat. You should see a doctor for your impotence.

You can't run pods on CV carbs :arghfist::downs:

You can, provided that the rear is sufficiently supported. I'm a lot more skeptical about the mounting angle. He's using about half of his float-bowl volume. Christ, I'm glad I don't have to tune that thing.

I took an engineering class specifically designed to teach shear, bending and torque. It's pretty easy to design for and single point shear is considered ethical engineering design if proper analysis has been done. Also as long at the mount isn't threaded. That is considered poor engineering regardless of how high the safety factor is.

I graduated as a Master of Mechanical Engineering in 1990. Unless something has severely changed since then, you're perfectly right.

The 504 and 505 were definitely some tough bastards, I guess rust was their only weak point. I've been sort of wanting one because they're sort of the last of a breed, the last Africa-conquering RWD Peugeots. There's an absolutely immaculate 1976 504 for sale near me. When I say immaculate I really mean it's utterly flawless, with complete service records for the car's entire life so far. It's about 25% more than what I paid for my 406, though, for a 37-year-old car.



There's current 3-5 of the 200 originally made 1984 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Rally Group B cars for sale. They usually start at EUR100K/$130K. The sound is probably worth it though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSYYjLOWg7w

Holy poo poo. This is for sale for only £70K: http://www.markdonaldson.com/forsale/peugeot-205-t16

This one I'd probably kill for:

http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page/179218/1985-peugeot-205-t16/


Imported and all, that'll only be around 1.500% of what I paid for my current 406 TS6 beater.

That 3.0 is just hrrrngh pretty. A friend has one and I can't believe how perfect it is.

Your friend should run for Guinness book of world records, if what you tell us is the truth. If you can provide a picture including todays newspaper and a structurally ok BMW E9 platform, I'll truly be amazed.
