HAPPY BIRTHDAY FORD V-8!
Really considering starting to gather parts for a board track/1900's motorcycle build.

Nope.

This is why the RX-7 got so much louder as the December rallycross progressed.
It's not overloaded, the trailer still had some suspension travel left! So did the front struts.

Nothing about housing chrome flaking apart on pre-86 engines.

Nothing about excessive side housing wear on any engine where the moron ran it without an air filter.
But yes, blather on about apex seals. Tell me the one about how modern cars suck because you can't fix the ignition system with a worn out silver dime and a brass screwdriver, or adjust the ignition timing with a lever on the steering wheel when you get a tank of bad gas.

In reply to Knurled:
I worked for Speedsource while they were running the GT class RX-8 in Grand-Am. Their muffler was roughly 3.5 feet long and 1 foot in diameter. They fabricated it from inconel and filled it with lava rocks because everything else just melted.
Can't remember if this has been posted before but this was my first car. It probably wasn't nearly as fun or cool as I remember it being though.
