real cool project to start on.. though i'm curious to se ehow he succeeds in getting the rear end to look like the Shelby..

and this "Elenor' name.. has it got something to do with the fact that this's the car in Gone in 60 secs?

;)

LoL...i wouldnt be suprised if it was... "Eleanor" is now bloody well known to be a refference to the GT-500...mainly i think because of 'Gone in 60 seconds"....

wow..

the font nose section has been done in metal... not fiber.. might be a little too heavy and will need a bigger engine (like someone had said on that page).. but even 2 might not make it extra special.. maybe a 2.5 or 3.0 with turbo...the owner probably isnt going to use this for this daily ride, so a little more fuel consumption on the joy rides is acceptable right :D

I found a post on his site that said something about the car having a 1200 cc 4 pot engine, and that it was rear wheel drive...were those old corollas really RWD?? damn, that would've kicked ass! I know the corolla hatchbacks from the 80s in the US were RWD and are huge in the drift scene these days, but didn't know all those old corollas around SL were RWD (if they actually are)..

Yep.. That car really is RWD.. Infact most of da Japanese cars that came out in that era were RWD.. Da Nissan Sunny b-11, Mazda Familia, etc.. Not too sure about da Lancer though.. If u see one on the road, jus bend down from da behind of the car and see.. U`ll be able to see the differencial clearly..

Think da japanese were not really on to CV joints and FWD those days... :jumping-smiley-013: And specially that was an era where there was a huge dislike for FWD cars in the local market, bcoz of da CV joint in FWD cars ..

I think another RWD phase is starting to come in. Cars are getting insanely powerful, and lots of enthusiasts don't like the idea of the front wheels doing the steering and the power delivery..takes a lot away from the steering feel too. RWDs can be so much more rewarding to drive anyway! I vote that the japs start making a serious shift to RWD again to compete with all those europeans.

The GTR will answer ur call :D

Firm RWD fan anyway. Which is why the Z makes it above the GT-R in my fan list. But looks like there is potential for that to change.

Ooops Peri. I think your in a bit of trouble for plagiarism.. check out this:

Nope. I already told thats where I got it from some time ago when someone asked. I think it was a complaint that mine, madmax's and GihanFXs pics looked alike. Wasn't something I came up with :blink:
