You cant post pics of cars without telling what engine they are fitted with. The e28? the 2002? Its all about engines and tech!
I would suggest a naturally aspirated Nissan vg30de dohc v6 (z32 300zx) with individual throttle bodies for the ultimate handling and sound. It would even be a little special opposed to a 2jz or v8 swap.
The stratos raised the bar but it never had the power( not including turbo grp 5 versions) to scare. The Countach is the winner. It was every schoolboys dream and had the sound and look of future supercars.
And a 512TR with ITBs would probably sound nice through the tunnels:-)
1984 Ferrari 288 GTO with modern turbos and engine management would make me happy:-)
I love it! Anything Italian!
Im sure its fun taking the pictures and getting the light and angles right, but I dont give a shit about how its done. Concentrate on speedhunting and cars. Its been way to much info on the art of photography on Speedhunters lately. More sick engine swaps pleae:-)
A great article! I never thought I would join the same discussion as Vittorio Jano:-) The Triflux engine is truly remarkable. After the S4 engine I think it was a shame to see Volkswagen beat Italy by mass producing their turbo/supercharger GT engine. I own an Integrale myself, but to me Lancia is dead. Really sad, but the way they manage the brand it would be better to kill it off completely. Thanks Dino!
Nice pics, but what is that crap on the bonnet? Merry Xmas everyone!
I cant really understand the Aasbo 86 hype. For me the front end is a total failure. Get wheels with the proper offset or make a wide arch kit that fits. I love what Aasbo has done for the Norwegian drift scene and appreciate the speedy build in order to get it ready for gatebil at rudskogen, but the car looks shit. Sorry.
Great in-depth technical review. Good to see the super low profile bullshit is history. I like rubber:-) I guess most of the people following speedhunters are car builders and engineers( amateurs or pro), so features like this are really inspiring.
If you have a porsche like that, why would you hire a drunk four year old for the welding work?
Great feature Dino! The diversity of cars in Japan is for me totally unexpected. The pictures also make me think I have a large garage:-)
A wonderful feature. Nice work!
I love to see amateur race cars! So much better than the high budget cars of gt3 and such. This was truly a great feature and I hope I will see more of the same in the future. I was surprised to see so much italian cars. Thanks Dino!
A beautiful feature Dino! I am not complaining about anything this time. Well done!
I love it!
Dino, thanks for the personal reply. I hope you read my comments with a sense of humour. I am sorry for being a vip hater, but there is no denying this car looks bad ass with its ultra low ride. The only thing putting half the world off is of course the neg camber. I have always liked lowered cars, but driveability and grip has always been the highest concern for the technically interested petrolhead. Thats why this upsets so many people I guess. Would it not be possible to actually enlarge the rear inner arches and shorten the lower rear wishbones to make the wheels fit under the arches and have a normal -2-0 camber angle? The moment I see a vip car achieving that ride height and have normal camber, I will eat my insults and dig it. The builders obviously have skills, so perhaps someone is up for a challenge? But I guess its a sort of punk / rebel approach to car building I simply dont understand. As for us" haters":-) not building anything ourselves; Im building an e36 coupe with a twincharged nissan vg30 and time attack aero. Im from Norway the gatebil country you know:-)
