I always wanted to do this in order to drop the engine a bit. What's a realistic amount you can lower an engine with a dry sump setup? Price is ridiculous, but I have always liked the idea from a handling perspective...

This is the only diagnostic tool we need: Speaker wire works just as well if you have some lying around. ;)

I about shit myself when I read that in the TSRM when we were putting my engine back together... I honestly think this would be easier since you'll have the transmission locked up to torque against. Not much fun trying to torque that bolt without something sturdy holding it in place. That...

Someone made a wrench like that on purpose? Haha, that's pretty awesome, bet they come in handy!

There's a wing like that on a 3rd gen Eclipse around here... I get a giggle whenever I see it. I almost bought a house with a 4 car garage but it was just out of my price range, looks like this place has a rather nice setup too. :)

If your 7m shoots fire like most of them I've seen, I'd suggest extending it another inch or so unless you want a cooked bumper, especially on a light colored car. ;) I've had the RS*R (angled), stock and Blitz Nur-spec (straight), and I can't say I really prefer one over the other. The RS*R...

I used Stinger Roadkill (http://www.stingerelectronics.com/), mostly to fix some rattles and vibrations more than overall noise suppression. Covered the spare tire well, and a few other places that have thin metal that could vibrate or rattle. For the most part it worked well, haven't really...

Eh, I try to keep my eyes open, but I'm not gonna be *that* guy. I have a similar issue though. I like driving my car, so I do. However, I have a lot of dumb little shits in the neighborhood that can't seem to understand that you need to stay out of the way of cars... so, do I leave the silencer...

Well, post up some of the better ones, or worse. :)

^sounds like pretty clever advice... need to pull the radiator out first?

Looks pretty well settled in to me...

Not especially befitting of the car, but from my understanding of a conversation with some exchange students years ago, some precincts in Japan used GT-R's for highway pursuit cars.

Not too shabby, especially the older stuff. 73 PAGES though? Threads like that should be ONLY for pictures, no words. Just pictures, for simplicity's sake. :)

Another thing I question is the speed of it all. From what I saw of the wreckage... 130? These things have roll cages from the factory, no? I seem to remember seeing them in some pretty epic Porsche Cup crashes, and people more or less walked away from them. I suspect the speed might have been...

50 years ago, I would have said "yes!" with hand on heart, but considering what my country has done (both to itself and the world in general), I would have a hard time doing the same in this day and age. NOW, that said, the level or our humanitarian efforts I would dare say are equaled by NO...

Makes sense to me, I never really considered that you have another car to absorb damage... then again, I'd love to see a wall that wouldn't collapse if a car hit it at 50mph. That is a LOT of kinetic energy.

You know, there's a better option for making a car low... air bags. ;) Nice face palm Poodles. I wonder how much thought had to be put into that...

Believe I gapped mine to .028, have yet to have that issue again. Wouldn't believe how far off "pre-gapped" plugs can actually be. ;)
