that's a clean engine bay my opinion, (don't mind all the cables on the right)

There is more to the photo but I didnt realise how big the file size was for photos on my new phone so I cant upload it

Its by no means immaculate but for a car he's built himself in his garage its decent

I'm not super strong so I always use everything I can to help myself. Jacks, bars, and tools. I LOVE my strong-ass air hammer to do the work for me faster and easier than I can do it myself. I'm not sure I talked about it a lot before but it's a Jiffy #600 air rivet gun. It's a beast. I use it to drive ball joints down out of control arms pretty often with relative ease. It'll spin seized hub bearings in the knuckle easily and twist them out. If only I could use it to install the ball joints... Same reason I bought a 1250K impact, it'll take stuff off that I'd normally need a breaker bar and a pipe. Also I frequently reach for heat to help. Most of what I'm working on is 10+yrs/100K+miles so I need all the help I can get.

I just have my matco air hammer. Its fine for most the stuff I need it for. I like it because the trigger is very easy to feather. Other than that I have the mac antivibe hammers... great hammers. Ergonomics are spot on and it really hits without rattling your arms off. I am not a fan of dead blow hammers. I bought a snap on and I hardly ever use it. Doesn't hit worth a damn and feels too light.

Ah, the curse of a Turbocharger... Once you taste it, you just want bigger and bigger ones.

just gonna maybe change the topic a bit what are some of the most underrated drift cars, and when i mean by that I don't mean something that is a famous car like the corolla e80 gen (since takumi dude already destroyed the price)

but im talking about cars people avoid because of poor power, poor tunability, or just the high expensive of having the car .

but they could also be like a super tunable, decent power to weight ratio, they got high quantity, and a lot cheaper 

idk if this is a interesting topic, but guess no one cars bout it

i forgot how much they cost but i got this dealership nearby that sell exotic cars but im not in cali, they have about 7 z3's in stock i think the lowest price one of them have is like 42kUSD so kinda expensive (they overprice crap ton they sold a 350z for 32k

Anything is a drift car with enough speed and crappy tires.

100% really, get going fast enough and snap the wheel to the side with bald dollar store tires and that baby will drift for days, might even get into low earth orbit with those starlink satellites if you pop it up on a curb.

Even just old tires. They become like rocks and don’t grip for nothing

Nice, have you ever imported half cuts or drivetrains? I was wondering if the whole process is easier and cheaper compared to full on cars?

there's this beamng (car crashing psychics game) that you can put 4 turbos on a this default car that's supposed to resemble french cars, point is that the one that has exhausts out of the hood got mega lag, it gives an extra 1000whp and sometimes blows the motor, the mod also gives preinstalled turbos so you don't have to worry about blown motors
