Random Dope

My apologies for any damage done to your cheque book caused by my posting items up for sale two days in a row but just look at this Subaru. It is honestly one of the most intimidating and refined looking Subarus I have seen in a long while.

The wheels pictured in this post are pretty damn rad, originally manufactured by Campagnolo (Campy to the cyclists) for a 77 Ferrari 08 GT4 the owner sent them to rotiform for redrilling and refinishing so he could mount them to his Jetta.

Minitruckers are no strangers to wild front end swaps, some turn out great and some turn out not so great. I stumbled across this s10 Blazer with a c10 front end when I was pulling together this weeks 'no shine' Theme Tuesday and thought it was worthy of a post of its own outside of that due to how unique it is. This front end manages to be a huge departure from the standard Blazer front end but not look entirely out of place once you get over the initial shock.

This 240sx is one of the cleanest S-Chassis builds I have ever seen. Aesthetically and mechanically this car is basically flawless and an improvement in every regard to the way the car came from the factory. Built by a talented family of auto enthusiasts (grandfather through to grand son) it is a great example of what can be done if you have the means and do not cut corners. I recently found out the owner of this car is a fellow BMX rider and that was the final push I needed to post this car up.

There is a fair chance a lot of you have only seen this Supra from the rear. Even though it is an older build my first and only exposure to it for the longest time was that one lone picture of its ass. Arguably the car looks best from the rear, but the rest of it isn't all that bad either especially when you take into account the wide body isn't an off the shelf kit and the twin turbo 2uzfe motor has been heavily worked over.

Posting a WTF Friday critiquing a donk might be a tad hypocritical or ridiculous after posting this awesome cartoon on the fan page earlier this week but it just so happens that this particular donk is a LOT of ridiculous. Now I can generally respect (or at least tolerate) a well built donk, but this SC.... Mangled fenders, missing center caps, and just an odd overall stance (even for a donk) make this car look quickly pieced together.

How about a little change of, well... pace for today? Change in the way of a 1979 Mustang pace car that has been done up pro touring style with Roush/Wilwood big (huge) brakes, a beautifully redone interior, custom 8.8 rear end, mini tubs and... bags to put this right car at exactly the height the owner wanted.

This will be the third time I have dedicated a post to this A3. Outside of Pedro's car (who is local) and the EuroProjektz build I don't think I have posted any other A3 quite as much. Every time I see new photos of this car I just can't seem to help myself. Obsessed? Maybe.

I was pretty surprised yesterday when I went to leave Joyride and was greeted with a snow covered car, with Christmas being so green I just sort of assumed we were not getting snow for awhile. With snow comes a lot of things that suck: extended travel times, frozen doors, reduced visibility and worst of all salt. However snow also brings with it some good like drifting (or e brake sliding), snowboarding, and most importantly the return of Winter Wednesdays here on SIE.

In about twenty or so minutes my house is going to be full of people and food for round 2 of Christmas feasts so I don't really have a heck of a lot of time. However there isn't really much that needs to be said about this incredibly awesome custom (looks like Ford based) hot rod that Team Penguin spotted in September. According to the post the owner built what he wanted and doesn't seem to care if people love it or hate it.

Turns out I need to dust off my Bimmer Forums account because apparently sleeping on that forum has resulted in my missing cars like this unreal Laguna Seca Blue 2002. Good thing Jay at Stance Factory has got my back and forwards along the good great stuff. This 2002 is incredible and perhaps the best use of LSB ever?

Last week in jest I made the following comment when posting that clean Fiesta: "when was the last time you saw a car with hydraulic suspension that didn’t have wires?" After reading that a few people on the fan page urged me to look a little harder into the land of hydraulic (or Hydropneumatic) suspension to broaden my horizons. So I did. While I had guessed a few people outside of the traditional lowrider community were dabbling in the land of juice I was surprised to see how widespread the use of hydraulics is over a variety of platforms.
