@MrCOPTY yea ik what your talking about. Hey I guess that's how things go tho. I like the supra, cool looking car and from what I hear is a very good handling and stout car with an engine that is very easy to add power so I get alot of the hype but also 2.1 mil for a Japanese comuter is pretty crazy.
@MrCOPTY lmao, was thinking about that too. Actually saw a mk.4 right hand drive strolling around my town which was really cool. Think the first mk.4 I ever saw in person. Looked super clean
I love the clr but man there are pretty much no good blueprints for it or I prolly would have made one a long time ago after my clk gtr. Looks pretty damn good for how simple it is
@Graingy lol ah yea I guess that is kinda true. I wanted to do it because I've never been the best at building engines so I wanted to practice so I can make better ones.
@BYardley I never was really able to watch much of anything I wanted being the youngest kid in the house so I only saw a few episodes here and there unfortunately. And ok. Honestly a pretty sick car. Will definitely keep in mind.
@Graingy well in a way yes, basically a turbine but instead of pulling air throught it it compresses it and then it goes into the motor.
For different mechanisms, I'm pretty sure superchargers were made looooonnnnngggg before turbos, if my memory is correct a camshaft driven one was one 1910s-20s Mercedes which was mounted in the rear and not on top. Not super familiar with the mechanism but that was used then alot on aircraft applications, the the screw design was created. Like qzzzz said they offer superior low end torque which in a drag racing sense torque is great for getting you off the line quickly and is good to push you through the quarter mile, where as horsepower to my knowledge and inferring is more of being able to sustain higher top speed and really getting your time down. Low end torque is also really good in burnout cars as you can light up the rear tires very efficiently and quickly and keeps the reving down lower which helps with engine life. Plus a screw system is pretty much ++ next to each other and twisted and making that reliable at a very high rpm would be alot especially concerning all the rotating mass, it would prolly blow it apart in say a v8 car, but having a small one in a little 4 cylinder like the Ariel atom it can hold a little more rpm.
Turbos to my knowledge are a little bit easier to tune in power sense it's not directly on the engine it's on the outside and has the charge piping that you can add a waste gate to and can better tune in how much boost you make getting off the line, and then can slowly add it back in going out the back end of a quarter mile. Superchargers on the other hand if you want to change the amount of boost you have to change the actual pully and isn't easily computer tuneable at a moments notice. If you want to lower your power you would have to tune timing, or something, or just get on it easier out the hole if it's not going down the track. Sorry I really tismed on that lol
@Graingy yea honestly I couldn't imagine the supercharger screws needed for something like that lol. Would prolly be way to much rotating mass lol. Turbos at that rate are pretty much jet turbines at that rate.
@Graingy honestly there is still a level of wanting to be efficient, just not when it comes to fuel but most professionals use alternative fuel. And ah well I mean in a regular road car yea, having a turbo is more efficient, obviously. Best way to add easy power and keep it in a small package I will agree with that. But for me, If I pull up next to someone and they look at ya and you know you gotta dust some poor chump, I want a supercharger and just use that torque to pull me out of the hole better.
@Graingy lol, I went to school for it so I'd say so ya lol. And NHRA is drag racing where I'm talking about so acceleration is 1000000% a big thing. There are ways around turbo lag like line lock systems, which in auto cars is often called getting on the converter. Now in a racing left right thing I would see where turbo would be better, smoother power delivery which is more controllable but also may loose time in big straight sections
@Graingy big dog as in professional teams, like NHRA funny car, top fuel, those guys use superchargers also known as a blower. Sure it may be primitive but if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
Here in the forums is the best to ask questions. Normally everyone is happy to help. Welcome to the community! If there's anything I can help with I can try my best!
@T1PerformanceIndustries thanks brother! Yea definitely took a little bit for me to do. Had to take a break from it for a month to get back into it. Just get stuck at spots and have to take a break and then once you get back most of the time you can get back into it. Had that happen with my upcoming super late model stock.
@T1PerformanceIndustries aw thanks man! Just wish they got a little more attention but hey, really niche part of racing that only seems country people are into so eh whatever lol
@T1PerformanceIndustries from what I know 4 links are pretty solid suspensions. How you set up the springs and the different bar levels are the main thing. On my to be coming srx car I made an adjustable track bar, might be cool to integrate something like that.
@Strucker thanks! I hope so! Trailer has a basic but fully detailed interior, and tried making it handle as well as I could. The truck was originally just made for this but now I'm using it for some other up coming stuff.
@DatFiat126Guy19 no interest in making ground targets honestly. Plus I got so many projects I gotta finish and upload as it is. I got about 4 that are almost ready for upload, and another few in the build process as well as probably 20 that I wanna do at some point so.
@daniboi99 well I made this on mobile, but had to use a computer to mash em up before I got my new phone. But honestly, this is about as part efficient as it could get. Not really much I can delete that would make it a drastic reduction in parts. Would still be around 1000 with all the sponsors and everything removed
@LieutenantSOT lmao, thanks brother! Should hopefully be uploading the peterbilt and lowboy here within the next week. Either that or I might do the srx.... idk yet lol
@DatFiat126Guy19 I mean they're good little rigs man, some people like a road queen and others actually wanted to use em as intended. If your willing to spend the 100k it's a good suv
@DatFiat126Guy19 yea with how our emissions regulations are its cheaper to just make the cars bigger than actually put heavier emission reducing devices on the cars. And yea, US doesn't have the best drivers in the world lol. There is also import laws on cars so if it falls in a certain class it's got a much higher tax so thats why we don't have the hilux too
@Apollo018362 yea remember someone on discord talking about that too. Honestly vw battles are kinda rare around me. Tho recently someone was road tripping a 60s one all the way from Georgia up to PA, so a good like what 700 miles or something. Stout little cars

+1Oh ma gawd that thing looks so good brother. Still prolly one of the best gt cars on the site.
+1Make a literal dorrito
+1Nice! Love old land yachts like this lol
+1@BYardley bad part is I found really really good blueprints but I also have like 10 projects I wanna do or have in the works so.....
+1@BYardley ah ok, hey that works lol. I'm prolly gonna end up making the 917k I just got or the rsr.
+1Oh my god it's everywhere lol. Assoluto racing is doing something with it too. It just come out or something or?

+1@BadahhMuscleCar001
+1@NINJ4 I mean yea that's fair but I'd like to challenge myself a little.
+1Nice. Been thinking of making a bike but nothing is really speaking to me yet. Might end up doing an Indian scout or something.
+1@DatFiat126Guy19 I mean they're good little rigs man, some people like a road queen and others actually wanted to use em as intended. If your willing to spend the 100k it's a good suv
+1@DatFiat126Guy19 lmao, yep. Tbh a good reason I don't like driving, apart from my massive anxiety but we don't talk about that lol
+1I mean I don't need one but I want one lol
+1@DatFiat126Guy19 yea with how our emissions regulations are its cheaper to just make the cars bigger than actually put heavier emission reducing devices on the cars.

+1@DatFiat126Guy19 yea I'm sure. Honestly the only things getting imported here are Jdm sports cars and Kei trucks lol
+1Idk why but that first image looks like it's out of an early-mid 2000s racing game lol
+1Took her for a little test drive, that suspension is chefs kiss amazing

+1@HanakoSan oooo I think I only ever saw one of them, and that was recently.
+1LETS F-ING GOOOOO!! Always hit it out of the park brother!
+1@TheMouse theyre pretty old at this point but are still pretty fun to drive ngl
+1
