What is so crazy about that?

Full RB26DET including full ATTESA AWD systems have been swapped into S15's for years... Old classic.

That is a SWEET swap, and I have one of my own already. Full ATTESA and a RB26DET the car is a beast in RM trim.

Yeah that's pretty trick.

I wanted to post up some pics of my friends 500hp RB26DET ATTESA swapped S14 with a S15 front end conversion but its still put away till summer.

My S15 GT-R R-Tune has 850hp in an FR configuration, but it is understeery as hell. That's why I added a tiny bit of front downforce.

Now I feel like putting the engine from a Mine's R34 GT-R into it. :D
 
Just found out that the Lotus Evora has a wheelbase thats just 3mm different to the Golf R, Golf V and Scirroco R.

Guess what i'll be doing later :sly:

Also, The MX-5 TC chassis fits rather nicely under the RUF BTR and Yellow Bird. Makes the handling a lot more forgiving as well 👍.

The MINES BNR34 is the RB26DET I use for my RB26 swaps. Got it in my S15 RM, and my RB26DET G37, but I like the ATTESA conversion to go along with. The Blitz RB26 might be a good match for your S15.

Somebody make Mazda MX 5 with RUF Yellowbird chassis it will look supercool!

It would look the same, but perform much worse, not sure why anybody would want to do that.

Still don't get why your asking for hybrids to get built, did you even build that viper you were raging about not too long ago?

Tried and tested by myself using the TC chassis. Handles better and is a little bit wider than standard.

True story.

I quit hybriding just in case if I get banned. I nearly made it into GT Academy you know. Yes I did make the Viper my self. I just want to be on the safe side of things.
 
I've made a RUF RGT with added downforce, and bloody hell it is quick in the corners. :D

That is the one thing the RGT really needs.

EDIT: Also a quick question for hybrid makers. I have noticed a lot of V8 swapped Miatas. Which V8s and which Miata (or MX-5) is used most commonly? I really want to know.

For racing or drifting?
 
CallmeDan
Well I'm assuming racing. I guess both then since the people that have made them never specified what purpose the car was built for.

Well some people I know that swap them in for drifting. They use everything from Camaro engines all the way to Nascar engines.

For racing.... Not sure what engine would be best

I used the Z06 v8 for 550 racing. Unfortunately, the Miata by itself is only a so-so car at 550.

I've seen a few people talk about a Miata swap into the Ruf porsches, but frankly you just end up with a slower Ruf compared to one with a proper tune on it.
 
Hmmm thats weird, it doesn't do that with me (however I did change it to defaultcolor as in the darkest black). Try logging off of PSN before you go because internet tends to slow it down alot sometimes. I will look into this. ;)
 
I am working on getting pictures of all my unpaintable cars I have painted. ;) One of them is a 2CV I am currently working on. ;)

I painted my 2CV in GT Auto a couple months ago. I knew at one point you couldn't paint it. Did they change it back?

Far as I know it was always paintable

:confused: I got it from a friend in a league I (sort-of) joined but never participated in and shortly left. It was Gris Clair (or whatever the stock 2CV color is) but I painted it red. Keep in mind, this was months before the hybrid wave began.

Seems like last time I tried painting a 2CV in GTauto, it wouldn't let me, unless it has changed. :crazy: I hack painted mine. ;)
Click to expand...

I guess i will try a stock one and see if it will let me paint it. It will be later though


I mean last time I painted one through GT Auto it was. But that was quite a few months ago. So don't quote me on this though.
