That's a 996

Pretty sure it’s a lambro

Chrome Orange Lotus. A man of taste. :fullofwin:

solar yellow actually
if it was exige yes orange or krypton green would be great

Just got the rod bearings done. Took the car on a fat-ish drive to Mt Baker and then down to Seattle. Its been a while since I've driven this car for this long!

Such a pretty car

Doh.. as soon as I hit enter I wondered.. maybe it's yellow and my colour blindness + the exposure is screwing with me.

Managed to get some shots with some colleagues (has anyone heard of these guys before? heard they like Hondas... :P) before everyone literally 'set up shop' in the new OpenRoad Honda Burnaby :D

Shop looks good. It's great they provide tool boxes for techs now. I remember back in the day everyone had to supply their own.

The mall parking lot looks funny

paint too clean
mall crawler confirmed

Nice parking spot at the mall there -- zero risk of getting door dings!

Up until they repaved it recently, the ramp to the dining terrace at Richmond Centre literally looked like that

Well, after 5 years on stock turbos and first year on upgraded ones i managed to get my first 9 sec pass !! On paper its definitely not the platform to run 9s or to drag race but its definitely possible. Top 10 in the world with a N54 powered car, not too shabby :)
630hp 650tq
3400 lbs with me in it.

i said i wanted a 10-second car, not a 10 minute... erruhh 9-second car.

stock trannie as well?

it was until this wednesday when i swapped in a 6hp28 from a 335d

In hindsight would you have started with an xi for more off the line traction? Looks like you hook up really well regardless though!

335d stock trannie can handle 650hp/tq? lol
what's the next target? very interesting project

It depends if you are racing on the street or the track. Track 100% rwd. Street probably awd, but front axles and transfer case are the weak points on Xi, and they are heavier. i never race on the street, especially from a dig, so if i did it all over again i would stick with rwd. And with knowing what works and what doesnt i can probably build a 9 sec car for 20-25k including the cost of the car, or at least a consistent low 10sec car.

stock is 425 tq on a 335d. Throw a tune and downpipes on it and its already at 650. no issues holding up to 800+ and lots of upgrades available on it vs the stock hp21.
idk whats next, maybe switch to import class from outlaw and pick on the supercars that come to race and just have fun with it. Install a roll bar so track officials dont give me shit now that its going to be a consistent 9 sec car.

And then of course it rained.

Foam guns are fun. But i hardly use mine anymore as it seems more pain in the ass to drag out the pressure washer than it is to just do a 2 bucket wash

Ah but if you see - it doesn't need a pressure washer, it's connected to the regular hose. And it has a quick disconnect so you can take off the foam canister and just use the back end as a sprayer to rinse the car. Doesn't produce as thick of a foam, but it's good enough for a pre-wash soak.

Oh really ? That would actually make me use it then. Not a bad idea.

Car bukkake fun for everyone
