GMballistic Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 Just been reading about this impressive Toyota GT86 which has been fitted with an engine from a Ferrari 458. Some serious work has gone into this car to make it work and it all was revealed at Sema this year. 3 Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 Yeah, been following this. Ryan Tuerck is nuts, but I loved when asked why he replied "Just for fun" Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 Respect for doing it. But it looks hideous. 1 Quote
gsexr Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 who cares why... great engineering is always exactly that 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 Not bothering with a bonnet then. Probably not just to show off the Ferrari engine. Although a HR hump bonnet would suit that thing great if it could be made to fit. Quote
rabbitstew Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Needs a bonnet from a 1970s hot rod with a scoop so big you cant see out of the wind screen to cover that engine. Hardly subtle. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 That'll be great when they finish it. It's is finished...well kinda...their deadline was SEMA Quote
Ekona Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 It needs bodywork and wheels that fit. Until then, that's definitely not finished Quote
BulletMagnet Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Been following some vids on the build, there is a bonnet with a cut out for the engine to pop through, but I guess at SEMA they want the public to see whats there Quote
TT350 Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 A perspex bonnet would be good. Bit of lighting in the bay for shows. Quote
GMballistic Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 A perspex bonnet would be good. Bit of lighting in the bay for shows. That's a good idea, ...when you've an engine that nice it's be a shame not to show it off. Quote
Ebized Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Nice Vid here, including a drift with a 370 Nismo: http://www.inautonew...ng-on-the-track (sorry if this is a repost ) 1 Quote
StevoD Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 It needs bodywork and wheels that fit. Until then, that's definitely not finished i still have much to teach you 1 Quote
StevoD Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Direct link to Colins link with his new team mate for FD Chris Forsberg this year going to be a good year although neither of these cars are comp cars obviously still think Forsbergs ZTT is the best 70 i have ever seen Edited January 6, 2017 by StevoD 3 Quote
GMballistic Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 Cheers for updating with the new video Colin and Stevo, ...definitely one of my favourite drift cars along with Chris Forsbergs Zed that looks awesome too. Quote
AMT Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Been seeing updates on this through various car news sites, great if you like drift cars but IMO its just a mess lol I can think of better cars and ways to have fun... usually involving something nice looking, a foreign country and some sunny empty roads.
