Engine Go Boom: Haltech Find Limit Of VR38DETT's Stock Internals

It was only a matter of time before it happened, but it seems that an Australian workshop has managed to take the engine of their R35 GT-R right to the raggedy edge - and beyond.

Ein 1949er Chevy Fleetline zum niederknien

Mein heimliches Wunschauto ist nach wie vor ein gechopter 1949-1953er Chevy Fleetline, auch Aerodeck oder Fastback genannt. Da der TÜV allerdings so ein Auto wohl kaum auf deutschen Straßen laufen lassen wird, bleibt nur der sehnsüchtige Blick über den Teich. Vor einiger Zeit bin ich über eine Artikelserie im H.A.M.B., dem Forum des Jalopyjournal, gestolpert. Ein gewisser Bass, aus Dallas, Texas, baute an einem 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline, mit einigen interessanten neuen und auch klassischen...

Erst neues Blech, jetzt neue Felgen!

Kaum war der Bus vom Hoffi geschweißt und wieder zu Hause, da wurde schon ein neuer Satz Felgen mit Reifen bestückt. Auf dem Bild ist nur das vordere Rad auf die Hinterachse montiert worden. Warum? Weil der Bus sonst nicht in die Garage vom Hoffi passt. Klingt komisch, is aber so! Demnächst wir der Bus dann in die Knie gezwungen. Dann dürfen auch die richtigen Reifen auf die richtige Achse geschraubt werden. Also weitermachen………..!
