  1. Pff, there really is no liberty in this country. It shouldn't be a problem, so long as I don't damage other people's cars. If that spoiler is illegal, then it will have to be a re-shaped bootlid job rather than a proper wing. Or one that goes as high as the top of the window. Plus I'm big on underbody aerodynamics too, one of the first mods I will do to my car is sheet aluminium the bottom completely flat. Not sure how much that will pay for itself in fuel economy, but it's something often neglected so I'm willing to try it anyway. Exhaust will probably overheat, so side exit may be in order.
  2. Wide body kit? http://www.japanese-modifiedcars.com/03inventory/data.php?no=SUZCAP001 I have in mind a much more MG6R4 style to increase the width substantially, it is a small car to start with after all
  3. Remember the TVR Speed 12? That had two 350bhp straight sixes which when combined at the crank made over 900bhp. That's alot. Now, the theory is this. The Cappo weighs a paltry 720kg standard. I'm not too sure how heavy its 3 cylinder turbo 650cc engine is, though I doubt it will be a biffa. Due to Kei car regulations it gets 64bhp as standard, though this can be doubled. So if I custom build a crank and sump for it, I can make two engines into one flat six with 260+bhp in a potential 800kg car. That's already 325bhp (probably less) per tonne. Now imagine another identical flat six in front of that one. Add serious suspension adapted to fit from some other car, triple plate clutch, strengthened gearbox (eventually relocated to the rear) and four large turboes, more RPM... Were it to be made, wouldn't that be faster than Norris' new SWB Evo IX? More cylinders in a similar capacity would sound better too
  4. Yes, yes, I know this. But won't it be well worth it? All the JDM goodness on it...
  5. A Suzuki Cappucino with a boxy wide body kit that stretches accross the whole width of the widened tyres and axles, maximising lateral g-forces that can be pulled in it. Why? It's light, cheap to run, power can be reliably doubled, and eventually I want to do something insane with a few spare engines: make them all into a quad-turbo flat 12 and, combining the power from all that and the light weight of the car, make a Veyron beater. *Ambitous dreamy expression*
  6. It has to be written like that. It's the exact same way avid Marlboro smoker Jeremy Clarkson says it ;)
  7. That car is awesome-looking, I really like it. The pattern the painted front bumper makes looks way better than the plastic square grilles on the Audi
  8. No really. To me more performance is never worse than less. And I don't care how it looks, it's only some hideous yellow pinstripes, but if you're spending that much on a car then you can spec it how you like.
  9. You can't judge cars simply on POWWEEEERR and numbers. Handling can't really be measured, though the whole car can on a track. I know the best performing, best handling Japanese car ever... Takumi Fujiwara's AE86
  10. These Chinese knock-offs are dreadful. They'll sell like tea in China though
  11. It won't be AWD. The GT500 car I'm pretty sure is just RWD.
  12. In the words of the prophet: POWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*cough*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!1!!!!1!!!1shift+one!!
  13. Depends entirely on how modified they are, though Roger Clarke's Impreza Coupe owns all the other usual suspects at competitions.
  14. Astons trounce Vettes at Le Mans, but a GT-R on the track too... that looks very interesting ;)
  15. I have an Intel Xeon at 2.8ghz, got plenty of additional fans reliably attatched inside with insulating tape and zip ties and stuff. I want to get it up to 3.0ghz safely, what exactly do I do? Links? Thanks in advance :)
  16. I thought it did actually say testicles until I read the thread...
  17. I like this car too, in Juiced 1 it can be made into the most powerful FWD car I know in a game, with around 550bhp
  18. Same as the Renault Espace F1 out of Gran Turismo 2, really: formula one engine in a van. Why? Aside from the lulz, it was a technology showcase. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/captain_clutch_kick/supervan1.jpg The first one was essentially a Transit with a 5 litre Ford GT40 V8 in the middle and really wide tyres. It had 400hp, which doesn't sound much for the size but remember, vans are lighter than cars because they don't have as much glass. This thing could shift. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/captain_clutch_kick/motor.jpg It gradually became more racing car-esque with Supervan 2 sporting a 3.9 Cosworth V8 and around 540hp. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/captain_clutch_kick/supervan2.jpg Supervan 3, pictured in the original post, had a 3.5 litre Cosworth HB Formula 1 engine, until eventually for cost reasons that 600hp+ V10 was ditched for a 3 litre V6. Still fast like stuff off a shovel, though the differences between what it will be in TDU and in real life are the real one only has a 5-speed Hewland gearbox and tops out at around 150mph. Plus it might be tricky to get the steering wheel on the right, but we will see. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/captain_clutch_kick/wrc_transit.jpg Another Transit I may make is this World Rallye version, which, Ford Focus WRC interior aside, has a fairly standard 2.4 turbo diesel, 200hp, and many tourques. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/captain_clutch_kick/Ford_Transit_XXL.jpg But the strangest Tranny I've seen and one I would like to make (time permitting) is a 3500kg, FWD stretch minibus limo version, the Transit XXL. World's chavviest limo or most luxurious van?

  20. Yeah, he's a good bloke really. Did anyone else have amusing/horrendous pet names from their parents?
  21. Haha, that's rubbish, it's like an ever so slightly more melodic version of The Bezerker, who are also Australian :p Now your turn to rip into me ;): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DDRIfd0QYs Xasthur - Prison of Mirrors
  22. Just wondered what the response to this would be, I'm not really a case for social services :) In the past my dad has called me such names as "scrotum boy", "rat boy", "nut man", "nutley", "scrotonium" and probably more.
  23. He painted this on the side of my bedroom... http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/captain_clutch_kick/IMG_3295.jpg
