EightBit posted:Lol what? I drive all summer with the doors off of my TJ, and it has working A/C, in San Antonio. I would love to own an Atom, I'd be able to drive it nearly all year. There's a big difference between having shade (bikini top) and nothing. I drive my Miata all year round in FL without using the AC, but during the summer the top is up with the rear window down, no way I could do it with the top down exposed to the sun.

AirRaid posted:Spotted this in the car park at work: I see these a lot in FL, and a friend of my wife's owns a BRG V8. I didn't realize you can get them so cheap, you can get a nice one for under 30k easy but I have no clue what they cost to maintain. Anyone know more about them? IIRC the early four banger turbos weren't reliable but I could have that backwards.

Phone posted:I'm going to do some A/B testing for a friend regarding Miata intakes. The short of it is that he wants to use a 3D printed intake tube that will go into the bumper cover and have access to ambient air versus having a hot air intake within the engine bay. It's some Next. Level. poo poo. Make sure you post this in the Miata thread. Let us know how it works out, if everything goes well I'll order one for sure. Would any size cone filter fit in there? I'm gonna have to look in mine, I can't remember how much space is available in front of the radiator there.

kastein posted:It is a chopped up 4 door cherokee. People in the offroad world do that a lot, with levels of bodywork quality from "loving hackjob deathtrap" to the point where random strangers walk up and remark that they didn't know an SUT edition of the cherokee was ever made. Got any pics of the good ones? Or better yet a thread where someone does it? I'd love to see how one would go about it. Could be a lot cheaper than buying a Wrangler I suppose.

Slavvy posted:I don't know about the driving away part but you're right about why they catch fire. The carbs are very...italian in their tuning and long periods of idling tends to make petrol start pooling everywhere and eventually something bursts into flames. Has anyone ever retro fitted them with ITBs? I know the purists would scoff, but if you drove it a lot it might be a good idea.

In my search for a new Keith Moon avatar I found this: Story is some local teenagers were oogling over it so Keith threw them the keys and let them take it for a spin. After a few hours when they didn't come back he went looking for them and found it in a ditch

VikingSkull posted:Yeah, I dunno why they want to slow the cars down as a solution to that but seem really opposed to having a second fence. I'd be all for a second fence, or just one big rear end gently caress off fence that would stop a tank. Wouldn't change the race on TV at all, and if you're at the race sit up higher if you don't like it. But like was said, until somebody dies it ain't gonna happen. xzzy posted:I watch MotoGP for the actual race. MotoGP is the best racing on the planet right now imo.

Slavvy posted:I will look up nascar on road circuits because that sounds pretty hilarious. It's actually good racing, Watkins Glen is the best race of the season imo, and it's coming up on Aug 9. Been to a few of the races there, and sitting in the stands outside of turn one is probably the best seat I've ever had at any race. These are the turn one stands:  Here's a view from the stands, you can see the last turn going into the entire front stretch, down into turn one, then to the left going back up the hill into the S turn. It's good poo poo and I can't wait to get back for another race.

I took him to a local Cars n Coffee at a McClaren dealer today, then had to explain how all the cars for sale cost five times more than our house. Got some pics, will post them later. A couple nice owner exotics, but mostly a bunch of modded out 3 series. Most of the cool cars were dealer cars

I'm not sure what's more magnificent, the car or what you're shooting with. What camera/lens combo are you using to get a narrow depth of field at such a wide angle?
