I was taking the piss out of Porsches... glorified VW beetles :)

-> beetle pre-dates the 911

beetle - mid 1930s

911 - 1963ish?

Yeah but thats the prototypes yeah? You had the 356 porsches which were production. Im going to have to double check now!

man thatd be some snappy throttle response - no exactly a long inlet tract. Super responsive, with the filter right on the compressor. would spool up sharpish, hey. What a weapon of a car.

But... friken TEXAS plates? YEEEEHAAAWWWW i gots me a ROCKET car, momma!!! Look maw, no hands!!!

Occasionally the Yanks suprise me and come up with some SERIOUS motorsport vehicles. There was a AWESOME WRX 2 door that someone had built from the ground up(...LTS Jayce scrabbling to find the link...)that was a pure weapon,this Porka is a good run at the 'serious' tag,plus a few well thought out mudderboikes. Mostly,I'm left at the toilet bowl,awaiting the next bout of vomitting as they produce some riced out,2F2F or boat-with-big-horsepower-but-can't-turn-or-stop P.O.S. ... So,the Porsche gets my thumbs up!

The yanks build some really nice cars, aswell as nice parts to go in them, just that there are simply so many examples over there the majority of 'ricers' that we see are bound to be shlt.

I've seen a lot of nice euro's come out of the US.

there's lots of fabricators in the US that do some very good quality work. for example see the thread about "ATTESA trim levels" that I posted some pics of an R32 GTR drivetrain graft onto a silvia in.

Unfortunately these guys are eclipsed by over sensationalised and better marketed builders/fabricators... and as a result no one other than their local customer base gets to appreciate their work.

saw this a while ago, heres the guys forum link, theres links in the first page to the build up:

pretty much all the engine mods are custom lol. The silver tanks are intake plenums which sit above individual throttles. Random things like complete custom made loom and piping and etc.

That thing is so full of awesomes.

    • https://www.dezeen.com/2025/01/06/nissan-electric-r32-skyline-gt-r-godzilla-sports-car/   I reckon this is pretty cool. Lots of other Resto mods have turned to ev power.
    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
    • The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.
    • I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
