For exotic cars to make it more approachable. (I should say common for exotic car purchases, which are themselves uncommon).
Buying exotic cars on some form of credit is pretty common. There are entire finance companies who specialize in decade plus term loans 1/2
This is amazing. I'm about to learn some woodworking skills for a Harry Potter gift of my own.
That axle nut does not have any plunging moment.
Easy access to the stub axle. Worth noting that while the axle does float, it does so at the tripod bearing and not at the stub axle - thus
Correctly while I installed the wheel. On the race cars that tapered ring would be built into the knuckle and then hollow inside for
mounting them, it's just that I didn't have the freedom to machine my own knuckle so I needed a novel way to make sure they centered
Always do, on any car. I've used these wheels on 5 or 6 race car builds now, and I've done them how the manufacturer recommends
That's me.
Like the factory design.
It's soft, hollow nylon and if load were transferred it would just crack open and break off. The wheel studs carry all load just
It's not a wheel adapter, and does not carry load. It is purely a centering device to keep the wheel aligned while tightening the lug nuts
Or for that matter, tackled by a sumo rather than punched by an MMA fighter.
I have that set too! As a kid I hated having to fast forward past the George Lucas and Leonard Maltin interviews.
That's not a man! It's a giant chicken!
Yeah, that was my fault. It sat for too long and I didn't run it long enough for the alternator to top it off.
It's a lot of power in a small package but they break much more readily in a car than on a bike.
Existing transmission and such. I've built cars with bike engines before and they really aren't built for car inertia loads.

Not that bad. Plenty of things are parts-binned from other more common cars, so consumables are easily sourced. Some parts are hard (1/2)
It's a Suzuki F6A engine. 3-cylinder turbo, revs to 9k.
Yeah, unfortunately a lot of JDM cars simply aren't intended for tall people.
I'm not a Reddit frequenter, but I'll give it a share.
Pretty much drives like a toy NSX too.
There is a Cap owner and a Beat owner locally. I have to get us all together.
I learned most of my building / modding / fabbing / tuning skills from doing FSAE in college and from reading books on performance.
