Chili Ron Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Howdy, There are folks who will put a 3.0 litre v6 in a Miata and tune it well above the stock 240 hp that Honda provides. Back in the 80s Ferrari built 240 hp v6 cars. Today on the back of used car lots sit Honda accords with v6 240 hp engines. an boy are we off topic, you motorheads.

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Like Big Sarge says, he's living his dream. Way back in another century and before I got married I used to ride mototcycles and my main helmet was one identical to the one this guy wears. I can't remember how I got it but a bunch of guys wanted to buy it from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have a good idea as to how he is feeling. I drove a Kit 427 Cobra for a number of years That was a beautiful car Now that the kids are out, I may have to think about another Coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Amazing. To say I admire such dedication is grand understatement. I had to laugh about the guy saying it was a fake and him responding his 350 was made from Fiat parts. I think with me, the conversation would have been more: "It's a fake." "Yeah, And?" Followed by me turning my back on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Howdy, I know a fella who built his own plane. Inspected approved aircraft. He flew it a while then it sat a while then he sold it. I got to see it once, nice enuf. I would never guess that it was handbuilt. But Im no expert not even close. I saw a writeup about rebuilding a corvette. 4000 hours documented for the restoration. And they started with a running car. Best CR ps apparently any sort of mention of p*l%t%cs IS off limits. gonna be a weird year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
