No lotus of Ferrari but I love my STI. Had a big truck before and this is a ton of fun to drive at 0-60 in 4.7 and amazing handling from the symmetrical AWD.

I’ve been making slow but sure progress on the XS400. I had a total knee replacement the day before Thanksgiving that is slowing me down. But … I’ve gotten the carbs completely torn down and cleaned and all the rubber seals replaced, carbs reinstalled, and timing adjusted and the engine is running strong. I trimmed the grab bar mounts off the rear frame and and began fabricating a new tail light mount today. Once the tail light is mounted I can start with the seat fabrication using the tail light for guidance.

The above post is provide the good information about cars and Trucks .

My favourites are the Ferraris’ and my dream car is the Enzo they made which is truly stunning and awesome.

I’ve been slowly but surely making progress on the cafe racer project I mentioned earlier in this thread. I’ve got the frame tail cut off, the mounts for the rear set welded on, all the extra frame tabs cut off, new rear shock mounts welded on, the frame sanded and painted, new wheel bearings installed, entire brake system rebuilt, front forks painted, fork gaiters installed, clubman bars installed, the entire electrical system inspected and repaired/modified as necessary, LED turn signals installed, instruments polished and cleared, engine cases polished, engine block painted, custom tail light mount fabricated, swapped in VX800 tail light, fabricated rear brake/rear set interconnect, lowered battery box 3/4 inch for new seat pan clearance, fabricated and welded up new seat pan. I’d guess I am about 80% complete. I need to finish up the seat pan, fix a few minor tank dents, paint the seat and tank, install a front fender, modify and install exhaust, fabricate and install side panels, and a few other odds and ends. A picture as of last week is below. Since then I’ve installed the carbs and pod filters
