damn, the artwork on this nissan gt-r is just simply astounding, like the level of detail is mindblowing. http://www.speedhunters.com/2016/08/the-road-to-gatebil-mantorp/

@RevoltTrain i think you should attempt something like this some day. http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/sstp-1007-1998-honda-prelude/ might seem like a lot of work, but hey, at least you would know it's possible to make a rwd honda prelude. you just need an adapter plate for the transmission, and a 4wd honda crv transmission.

i mean i'm not asking for a crazy amount of power even supercharged. i think 250hp is a happy medium for a small car like the starlet. and of course, i would upgrade the stock suspension in the starlet, if i ever bought one. that's kinda common sense, since you need suspension that can cope with the power.

The problem i face with mine is too good suspension and not enough engine. (4age blacktop with all hks stroker internals, itbs and a custom 16v valve-cover because i hate the rounded stock one (supercharger is coming soon) im probably close to 230 and with the supercharger it is probably going to be somewere close to 290-320hp if i still feel my suspension is too good im going to stuff a turbocharged Honda f20c engine in there with as much power as the car can handle)

I remember seeing that, I know some people have taken 5th gen Preludes and made them RWD drag cars, there's also this work of art

wow, turbo f20c? why not something like a k24 turbo with an adapter plate to use an s2k tranny? but i agree, maybe try a 20v head see where it can go from there, then maybe get a low/medium pressure supercharger. then see how it feels. i don't think a small car like that would need more than 350hp max.

seriously, i give kudos to anybody who has a working twin engine setup in their car. like seriously. the amount of work and custom fabrication needed to fit a second engine that will work with driving another set of wheels is pure genius. i could have never attempted something like that ever.

In theory it is simple though, get a fwd car, get the front half from a fwd car, cut away anything behind the firewall of the half car, remove as much as possible (includes radiator and radiator mounting) without affecting suspension or engine mounts of the half car, cut away the floor from behind the driver side and back in your original car, lower your original car onto its new rear floor, build a rollcage wich mounts to the frame of your two cars as well as on top of a stabilizer bar mount on the shock towers of the rear car, mount a stabilizer bar, lock the steering of the rear car, plum it into your fuel line, find/make room for your radiator and enjoy your twin engine 4wd car.

The thing with the twin engine Prelude is it's AWD instead of FWD

As is the car i described. (Except it would get ripped in half because i forgot to put reverse the gears on the list)

Was it the 2xfwd that confused you? (I tried my best to explain that youb could make it as "simple" as replacing the rear frame of your fwd car with the front frame of an fwd car.

Yeah, I thought you meant both engines powering the front wheels

It also kept its engine in the front, my example was just a way of saying "not that difficult if you are dumb enough to think"

How the actually f*ck would you do that???? (Hand on a minute, going to brainstorm together an engineer's nightmare)

Yeah I was so confused as to how that would even work, or why someone would want that

I have got a solution: fixed rear axle from a gocart and mount it in.place of your entire front suspension, get two manual transmission motorcycle engines, mount both engines to your firewall, replace your original rear suspension with your original front suspension and bam one horrible twin engine fwd car.

It might be the least driveable car ever but atleast you have two engines and fwd.

Rear-wheel steering.

ok so i'm out of a phone, but once i get a job, i most likely will be paying for my own phone, so i'm gonna wait about a month, and then get something like an iphone 7 (i would get a galaxy note 7, but that is crazy expensive and nobody in my school thinks owning a samsung is cool, so i'm kinda forced in a sense to get one). problem is, as you've all might have heard, it has been overwhelmingly rumoured that the iphone 7 isn't gonna come with a headphone jack. that's a problem, since i want to listen to music in the car via the 3.5mm jack in the car and the aux function. but i don't think i can do that with an iphone 7, since they're being so petty and got rid of the jack. so i have two options: either i get a 3.5mm to lightning adapter, or i can get a 3.5mm bluetooth transmitter. what should i do since i can't just use the 3.5mm jack as it is.
