JollySipper Posted July 30, 2021 Posted July 30, 2021 I've kinda got a thing for some of the Beemers.... Here's a couple to get things started. First we're stanced with an already potent car.... Then we go into full blown race mode.... I'm sure you guys can find some to add...

cobraman Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 ? This looks like the rear end of that custom car.
JollySipper Posted July 31, 2021 Author Posted July 31, 2021 I've seen people do some crazy stuff to those poor Isettas..... There's a guy on IG putting a bike motor in one now. Here's an engine with a cool supercharger set up....

Yeah...decades ago, when I was elsewhere engaged in winning-hearts-and-minds, my significant other (at the time) sold my Isetta, for scrap value...along with a rust-free low-headlight Ghia and a '60 Corvair that had a trunk full of AMP electrical connectors.
stitchdup Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 1664bhp and it runs low 7s. theres a feature on it here
JollySipper Posted July 31, 2021 Author Posted July 31, 2021 That's too bad, man.... What would you have done with those cars? 1 hour ago, Ace-Garageguy said: Yeah...decades ago, when I was elsewhere engaged in winning-hearts-and-minds, my significant other (at the time) sold my Isetta, for scrap value...along with a rust-free low-headlight Ghia and a '60 Corvair that had a trunk full of AMP electrical connectors.
Draggon Posted August 4, 2021 Posted August 4, 2021 "Getaway Driver" is a silly show, but it beats other things on Monday night TV. This guy won both rounds last night. Corvette powered.

Most likely I'd have gotten them running well and found them good homes. I paid $5 (yup... five dollars) for the Corvair because it wouldn't stay running. Several shops had looked at it and put fuel pumps on it to no avail. The owner was frustrated and just wanted out. Turned out the eccentric on the cam that drives the mechanical pump had worn out. Weird, but an electric pump fixed it, and it was a daily driver. I bought the Isetta cheap after it had been sitting for years, and the owner didn't want to put enough money in it to get it running reliably. Same story with the Ghia.

matthijsgrit Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 And since Hot Rod is applicable in many, many ways, this is a big surprise by Griot's Garage. Very subbtle though: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-shows/sema-show/news/a31418/e30-m3-wagon/
