Must be replaced.

Gentleman. Behold an SCCA Formula Super Vee engine.

Since it's not under any SCCA regs in a civilian car, time to see how far I can go with it.

I always wanted to throw a busa engine into a Smart Roadster... that or maybe a Scoobie Boxer.

Brothers!

Not a picture of mine, or even the color, but I'm in a 2015 Forester Limited I bought for a song from my father in law because my mother in law decided she didn't like it and wanted an Outback. I'm very interested in putting a modest couple-inch lift, bigger tires, skid plates and knobbier tires and stuff on it just to be weird. Doing a swap for an XT engine would be the cool, money-doesn't-matter thing to do but even if I could justify it, I'm still under warranty.

Every once in a while I get on there and shop for bull bars...

Not sure why.

Then again I REALLY want to have a workshop were I can build one of these with modern materials.

yeah it has some comical shit glued on, but the odd thing is... the rotors really stand out. A bit too thought out looking, as I can't imagine them bothering to make a swashplate, which makes me wonder if under all that crap is actually a helicopter they purchased. I would have guessed some sort of ultralight kit plane, but I think it would be too complicated for that.

Yeah it looks kinda similar to the hub on a Schweizer 300 series.

Apparently the guy making all this stuff is some preacher selling Chinese kit cars as locally made.

I figured it was the rotorhead off an Alouette. Just based on it having 3 blades and the French doing a lot in west Africa. Seems to be missing the wires?

>>21776
the way the rotors attach seems different and I doubt this guy had a budget for any French aircraft. I think it could be a Chinese knockoff of a Schweizer / Hughes family of light helicopters. Here is an image of one the Chinese call AC310, the way the rotors attach seems very similar, and this guy already works with the Chinese to "design and build" Chinese cars. If it is, then it is probably safe to assume it really is a jumble of spare parts and not a full aircraft being visually modified. Reason being I doubt he would go through the effort to modify the typical simplified tail on these helicopters. (tail rotor at the end of a straight drive shaft instead of a two part design required to have the rotor further up the tail.)

>>21778
further reference, here is a Schweizer S269C. Looks like the Chinese copied it down to the bolt. Still not sure if this is what was used, just thought the blatant copying was amusing.

Nevermind. Fuck the flood detection.

  old thread who cares

  I've been enjoying helicopter startup sequences lately.

  The FV433 Abbot SPG is powered by the Rolls-Royce K60 opposed-piston 2-stroke diesel engine and it sounds like this:

  The Chieftain tank has the bigger, but similarly-designed Leyland L60 multifuel 2-stroke opposed-piston compression-ignition engine. 750 hp (560 kW) 6 Cyl, 19 litres.

Maybe this isn't such an uncommon sight to you, oh reader, but I can't remember the last time I saw one of these in person. And it's such a neat aesthetic throwback to a time when vehicles could be boxy.

uhhh?

WTF are you on about?

Did someone say truck thread?

/o/ may mays.
There's a pretty active truckerfag community on /o/. It's a fun thread to lurk.
