^^go eat haggis lol! ls engines are fun but i couldnt own a jap car with an ls... would rather stick some jap v8 or v12 in it... i want the v12 in the top secret supra soooo bad!

i would think the spoon car has bigger fronts for traction??

edit for supra v12 pic!

 

[MaLicE]

oh and that engine makes the supra go faster than a veyron.... 260mph...

 

[Ali]

Yank mussle! You keep you wee stage 2 hairdryer son!

In all fairness, the Supra and RB26 is are a couple of the most glorious sounding motors ever.

It's got one camshaft and pushrods.

That's high tech in Scotland.

 

[Christopher]

I would kill for the Spoon K20'd '9.

It's been posted before though.

 

[Englebert]

Despite the LS conversion, the S13 looks amazing. What variant is it?

2jz and rb26 do sound nice i honestly love the sound of a wankel though...

that v12 is sexual though, 900bhp 260mph done.

 

[Ian_182]

Have honda always used there own engine's out of intrest???

the old boy has a 240z, it's Rb24, Early skyline motor! That also sounds beautiful! Don't think i've ever heard an RX7 in person...Detailed one but never heard it...The RX8 sounds horrible tho!

The V12 in the Supra, what is it out of? Originally??

 

[Christopher]

A Toyota Century. Luxury saloon. 1GZ engine.

Although it's so far removed from the original now, it probably shares about eight parts.

How do you mean? In road cars, or tuners?

RB's and the L Series before them all sound sexual.

L20's sound the best, but to buy just the L20 you'd probably have to sell your entire 2009 GT-R.

New pants please.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

^^^ How many times Chris!

 

[Ian_182]

In there road cars...like mine

 

[MaLicE]

its still runing the block, its different pistons... same head... the main parts are stock and its running twin turbo, 2 ecu's lol there is a film of smokey driving it on a jap freeway... i would post it but all the haters will get their knickers in a twist and go on about road racing lol!

 

[Christopher]

Yep, always.

They've had input from Yamaha in the past though.

 

[Christopher]

^^^ How many times Chris!

LMAO. It's the best video ever.

 

[Turkish]

If I ever had a lottery jackpot win f**k the ferraris etc I'd be in search of an immaculate hako

 

[Christopher]

Same.

One show piece, one with an RB and one slightly Boso.

 

[Gaz.]

Just a JDM Silvia S13 (PS13 as some call them)

 

[Adz]

This is my input in to this epic thread

 

[jamesybear]

liking those mr2s, tempted as one for an inbetweener car between now and sensible age!

 

[Turkish]

Whole bunch or Repostage in that lot

[Scunny_182]

That facelift dc5 on orange rims is fooking awesome!!!! Full of win! Any1 know what rear bumper is one that? Need to Joe for when I get my dc5 lol

 

[AlexG]

Is this legal in the uk? Is there a name for it?

 

[Curtis!]

I think there the spoon 'fenders'.

 

[Englebert]

I think for MOT purposes you cannot have a tyre going outside of the arch. You could just fit a narrower/higher offset wheel to get through an MOT though...

They are Spoon arches.

[Christopher]

Yeah Spoon arches. Brilliant looking things!

 

[dajones]

WTF is this Big wheeled thing

need moar pics

 

[Christopher]

Civic Coupe drag car, with what looks like a serious F20C in there. Crazy!

 

[MaLicE]

tyre tread has to be inside the top of the arch.... front and sides can be open

 

[JoeyD]

They've just given me a mad idea for my widearch project... hmmmm

 

[Jason_E]

As malice said, it can't petrude from the top of the arch that's all. My dads Alfa 159 wheels used to poke out like above (Obviously not as much). Stonechip hell!

Oh and Joey.... http://itsalmosttime.co.uk/blog/post/index/401/Winging-it
