oooh the veritas, looking forward to that one :)
|
Can someone show me a youtube link, I can't find it because I am retarded
|
A youtube link for this episode. Fank u
|
found it |
Obviously, the people at Toyota have never watched WALL-E.
|
Now I know more about Fins.
That Renault engine sound pretty good actually. As for the chair, it's no different than the ones for the disabled only with wireless gimmics. Toyota, I thought you could do better than that. |

I am in disbelief that they did everything wrong when building that renault, they truly have no idea of how to tune a car, yes they upgraded the brakes and suspension, at a huge cost which was their first mistake, a lesser approach would have saved them enough, they didn't even change the exhaust, a set of cams would have been great and I don't think they tried, a simple supercharger set up would have put them close to what they wanted to accomplish...
they had 9,500 bp to build it = 19,000+ USD you can do a lot of modifications with 19 grand if you are doing the installation yourself heck with 19 grand I'd have changed the engine for a nissan Silvia s13 engine, kyb suspension, brembo brakes, filled the car up up with race gas and then I am sure taking everything out of the car, including spare tire, seats it would have run pretty close to the 1:28 I did see they replaced the glass roof with plastic, good, I probably would have gutted the doors also, I bet there was 50lbs at least per door |
yeah i was shocked as well they spent 3K on the brakes alone, could have done it better no doubt, but all in good fun :thumbup:
i liked the mixer :mrgreen: |
where was the veritas? :(
|
Nowhere apparently... TBH, I was disappointed by this episode, possibly the weakest one out of the last 3 series (10, 11, 12). Lacked the excitement of others. No fast car test, and the challenge was nothing compared to the cross-America race the last episode. But well, it happens.
|
Really excellent episode. I'm curious, are there any Finn members that can confirm what they stated re: driver's license test strictness? 3 years, skidpad, driving in the dark?
