    I didn't notice those over fenders till pointed out. In my opinion thats how a wide body/over fender should be. Car is gorgeous!

    This was an excellent "build breakdown". The detailed photos of the car with the owner's (intelligent) commentary really made a difference. Hoonigan, you should consider doing something like this more often when you have a car that is on the next level, cool guy commentary and jokes are fun but sometimes it detracts from the car itself. Larry, well done man, you should do this more often!

      Niall Corcoran They might not run as many miles as a normal piston engine. but lets be honest that thing is a 1.3l with 135hp while N/A. On top of being mostly developed in the late 1970s. While being an absolutely tiny package and still boosted making 250-280hp. Yet again thanks to its low weight the weight balance of the whole car is better. I heard people say they are not reliable but I have also heard a lot of people say the rx7 and rx8 are extremely well handling cars due to the weight balance. i want to see a 1.3l production piston engine making somewhere between 250-300hp while running reliably for 100k miles.

      @@notirishrider7953 lol that's my point when anyone gives shit to rotaries. They make 250+ hp stock from a turboed 1.3l, I'd like to see a 1.3l piston engine making 250+ hp run reliably for what, 200k miles? In their dreams. It's such a tiny and compact engine and can make way more than 300hp, while maintaining great weight distribution

      You can get a pretty big weight reduction by driling the braking surfaces ,and even more by drilling the "hub housing" part.

    • @Broadpaw_Fox
      @Broadpaw_Fox 6 лет назад

      As mentioned above, drilling is not the best option. Remember, brake rotors need mass so they don't heat up too much-so it's a balance between having the mass to soak heat from stopping and not having too much mass and affecting the car's handling… the best alternative is two piece rotors with aluminum hats. Or carbon brakes… ;)
