I had a piston let go in a CRX I used to own for what I suspect was the same reason. The rod ended up in five pieces, punctured the oil pan for a total oil loss at 80mph on the highway, and the piston was rotated 90 degrees in the bore. One of the rod bolts was sheared in half, but the other one was just bent a little with the nut floating around in the oil. It was pretty spectacular as far as engine failures go...

The S30 is still in it, my brother got it the other day. I don't recall if they call it the fairlady or not though.

That reminded me of Alfredo a little bit... http://www.deviever.com/nostalgia/alfredo/

Yeah, you don't need to worry about air velocity so much in FRONT of the turbo, where this pipe is going. Now velocity AFTER the turbo, ie the intercooler piping, you would want to strike a balance between flow and velocity, for reasons of boost response. Justin, this project looks AWESOME!!!!! Great work man!

Supposedly starring Vince Vaughn as Rex Racer/Racer X...

I never liked the Bone Thugs much, but while we're in the 90's.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm4JMHL4tuE

The Mach V didn't really have any opening in the front, but I see the resemblance...I always wanted to flip the headlight buckets on an S30 (especially a g-nose) to get that same old school prototype look... the Mach V A concept drawing I did of a g-nose, inverted headlight bucket S30 Sorry for the off-topicality of this post, you know I can't resist a good change of subject here and there...

I don't think there is anything wrong with the fender vents as envisioned by Jonas, but they would clean up a lot nicer if the top of the vent lined up with the upper character line, and the lower edge lined up with the rocker crease. As it's drawn in the MSPaint image, you'd have a lip on the top and bottom that would compete visually with the existing character lines, and that is the type of thing that makes people look at your car and think "rice" instead of "nice!" I personally think that the hood is too busy, and that you should commit to either the front ducts, or the rear louvers, but using both is just 2 fast, 2 furious for my taste. It would be a shame if the hot air coming out of what I assume is the radiator ducting in the front of the hood just got sucked into the vents right after it. We know what those two types of vents do when taken individually, but when used in sequence like that, I wonder how they would interact?

You should have posted this to the "official youtube music videos" thread that Cozy Z Cole started, bring that thing back to life!

I saw a set of those SSRs on ebay one time, they ended up selling for more than I cared to spend, so they didn't end up at my house...

Hey everybody, this is the thread for wives and cats right?

I don't think its a photoshop, but the kid may be further back from the pig than they are trying to make it look like he is, thereby forcing the scale a little bit.

Maybe you need to make the skirts a little shorter, and the guns a little biggger? (j/k)

Primadonna Z has a set of those extractor dealies that bolt on to his BBS wheels, he's mentioned them to me before. Maybe somebody could ask him really nice for a picture of the back side?

"done" is a relative term...I thought I was done until I saw that stuff about the interior...back to the drawing (or whatever) board I guess.

that car has been up before, with the same picture...

I heard the HUD film in the S13 was made into the glass, can anyone verify this on way or the other?

I was thinking the same thing...can't knock the effort though, even if it did have some hiccups here and there.

Most of the incedental art on this thread was just something I was doodling to keep from going insane at my job...I really should invest in some different guides, all I've got is a circle guide and a straight edge. Pretty much everything I've put up was done directly in pen (with no pencil pre-sketching) on 8.5X11" white printer paper smurfed out of the nearest printer, and if colored, it was done with markers that I keep in my car for that purpose. I just got a gift card for my birthday to a large art supply store in town, and I've been meaning to pick up some more stuff, just haven't had the time lately. Maybe during the long weekend I'll be able to get to it.

So it turns out that UCF never actually got my transcripts, even though USF has a record of the day I sent them, as well as the address they were sent to...I re-transmitted them electronically, and they finally turned up at the school. I've been on the phone back and forth with the poor girl from the office that really went out of her way to help me out, and she told me I should be recieving my electronic acceptance notice sometime next week. So I suppose sometime after next year you guys and gals can expect to see a remake of 280 ZZZap! coming to an arcade near you! In boring job news, I spent about 25 hours fabricating parts for my Jada model contest car, can't wait for that contest to play out. Also, I drew an Octopus Robot just for a change of pace.

Cell phone was cool and all that, but my vote goes to dart launcher, hands down.

Man, I don't even have a gas guage! Just Tach, Speedo, and coolant temp for now...

BRAAP is going to put some locks on his toilet tanks now, I just know it...
