Passion, It's the thing that drives us to achieve. The push we feel to dare to dream something, ideal, and then manifest that vision into reality. For anyone who's ever fallen head over heels into an engine bay, or body work, or getting your car track ready, YOU KNOW that feeling that drives you to customize and make things as you feel they should be. Your intuition is second to none.  RC Car Skyline GTR R34 Custom Built Remote Control Car This GTR is no different from any of the other incredible cars featured on this site ( just look around; there's red ones , blue ones , silver ones , white ones , black ones ) - except for one, small, detail. - It's 1/7th the size! You wouldn't be able to fit inside it, but it still rips around like a GTR should, and is a whole lot of fun to drive I'm sure, and the customization on this build is phenomenal.  Nissan Skyline GTR RC Car Rear End Spotted on the RC sub, user XJuggernaut101 shared their build story with us of ho

Custom modified Mazda RX7 - Zero F*cks Given Q&A

on

Drive channel released this video featuring an intriguing Franken-RX7; it has materials and features not normally associated with "nice" cars like dents, rust and peeling/faded clear coat or wood... But it's clear the genius is the details, the dirty gruesome details... Don't be fooled by the exterior, this beast rocks a 5L V8. She was created by a 19-year old Pizza delivery kid.

"It fuel starves on left turns at about 70-Ohms"

Only someone truly obsessed with the details could tell you something like that when asked why the fuel gauge isn't working, explaining it was replaced with a multi-meter instead. Corbin (the creator) did an AMA on Reddit; below are a couple of the most upvoted Questions & Answers.
  • You are a true petrolhead. Brofist.
    • Brofist back at you. Gas in my veins, gas in my brain!
  • How often do you get pulled over ?
    • Haven't yet, I drive fairly nicely on the streets (not canyon streets) and when i see a cop i go for fifth and cruise it. I have done a rolling 200 foot second gear burnout but that was for some hoons at a meet haha.
  • Working on starting a CrowdTilt to get you a turbo setup now. Tweet @DRIVE and let's make this happen.
    • I would love it, but I really badly need seats and a cage and flares before more power, the rest of the car would break haha.
  • Did something dramatic happen in your life or were you always a god amongst men? Because no mortal man can create such badassery.
    • Well one day I hatched from my egg atop mount olympus, and from that day on I knew I had to walk amongst men and improve the world. It's not easy but someone has to do it...
  • What was the most difficult aspect of the RX7 build? And had you done any auto work before this project?
    • I would say the immense amount of tinkering, just bending and fitting and finding parts and figuring out how to make things work, I could make a whole separate video about that. Also, having no lift and such it's a real pain to take everything apart on your driveway. I've done a good amount of work, my car story is a long and mostly fun.
  • What'd you do for dyno tuning? What kind of reactions do you get from Ford guys and Mazda guys?
    • For dyno tuning I went to racers edge tuning in Downey, and had to buy an SCT chip. It's a decent tune, opened another 30 wheel out of it so I'm at 330 wheel. Mostly people love it, at sevenstock even they thought it was pretty much the lols...
