It didn't help that his LSD diff turned out to be a "MIG special", he even managed to break the welds ;)
I went to the PPC challenge[1] and came home with an axle bought from him, in true "Owelly spec". When I took the diff out it looked like a hand grenade had gone off in the casing :)
One day his axle is going to hold out and he'll come somewhere above last place, probably...
[1] Owelly is a hero to my 7-yr-old, he let him steer ithe plastic pig down the return road while we pushed :)
I think he may be a kindred spirit. :-)
Old S never really appeals to me, for me an S is about the technology (unless you're being driven around) so it would have to be a current model.
Now if I had the money, an S65AMG with everything would be an instant "yes please"
...are you sure?
It doesn't look that way to me...
You can't count or read or just got plain distracted (though not enough to not see the original engine). It's got a BMW V12 slotted in there! One air filter on each side, rod across the top to link the throttles. You can just see the W of the BMW on plenum behind the quadrant at LHS of picture. May not have been as easy or factory as it looks as it's got a remote oil filter in foregound on that shot.
LS1's sit so low they look lost.
High tech underhead cams. (c:
You're not wrong, y'know. F*ck knows how I missed all that. I saw "200SX" in the link and must have just expected to see a bloody Datsun Turbo.
Now this, is my kind of thing.
