to each his own. personally i dont really like the style of the widebody/flares you posted. The drawing i did was just something quick in paint brush pulling the flares off the pantera and putting on the staz. fst4rd, yup thats a detomaso pantera with the gt5 widebody kit. without the flares and win...

my wife hates riding in the starion but loves driving it, go figure. The car every ingredient needed. Wish i had a bit more head room but thats alright. everything else about the car is great. You need something that makes you smile when you drive it. its the car on the road that when people see it ...

i think the flattys have a little better number for drag, .32 vs .34(and the wideys only got .34 with the aero wheel covers on). The flattys are lighter for sure and the suspension up front is a little narrower and i think softer which gives you better feel for when the back end will break loose. lo...

definitely a lot of time went into that but its way over the top for me. Im not much of a stereo man though. I still use the stock 6 speakers and my tape deck:) i like the 80s styling. The two tone is a little much for me, very contrasting. its not bad on the seats and center but when you have black...

a wide body conversion has been done in sheet metal before. If you were serious about doing this(which it doesnt sound like you are any more) i would go a different route. I would bolt the front fenders on and i would make the rears just like the group b rally car in 84. http://homepage.ntlworld.com...

i definitely understand about engine braking but i wanted to come up with force numbers assuming the tire never slipped having all the available friction it needed(thats why the theoretical stopping distance number i had was very unrealistic compared to average deceleration). While i do have some ma...

hey juice. ive done a bunch of calculations but im not even close to having even a general model of all the forces going one(excluding suspensions, weight transfer, air drag etc) since im in the US all my calculations are in ft, lbs etc so you will have to convert some of these over if you want to u...

thats pretty neat but where is the pedal pivot? i cant see it in the pictures.

Does that car have no carpet in it?

what kind of pedal ratio did you end up making and whats the travel on those? and what bore are they?
