i wonder how often you'll have to replace the spare.

nannerpus · 09-22-2009, 12:42 PM

Yeah, talk about heat cycling your tires. Wonder if you have to let the spare cool down before you can handle it.

Welcome to hell. Here is your 1982 Subaru Brat.

skiboyjake · 09-22-2009, 01:05 PM

those seats in the back of the brat... exactly the type of thing i've been thinking about to convert a miata into an all-weather no-top no-doors type of thing.

Stealth · 09-22-2009, 08:26 PM

i had a similar idea, was thinking about using boat racing seats

lol and a jack in there too, as if the balance wasn't off enough

freedomgli · 09-23-2009, 04:38 PM

Forget balance. All that heat from the engine will cook the tire in short order, making it dangerous to use even if full tread depth remains.

At least from watching an old episode of Top Gear, the Brat's not the only one rocking a spare over the engine:

Maserati Merak SS Spare

revlimiter · 09-23-2009, 05:13 PM

Bryan, I saw that same Top Gear just this weekend and thought about that tire over engine mounting. Too funny.

freedomgli · 09-24-2009, 03:48 PM

Bryan · 09-24-2009, 04:01 PM

That has got to be the weirdest header setup I've ever seen...

equal-length madness

Chuck Daigh in #11 battles with winner but retired after 127 laps

Chaparral shows its "bunch of lights" Not aerodynamic but effective

Bruce McLaren & Roger Penske in Cooper Monaco were 5th

George Constantine & Andrey arrive on race morning in the #20 Ferrari

Gus Andrey (R) looks on as Adolph Reinsinger works

The #20 showed up for practice with its SCCA #49 on the sides

Ed Hugus & George Reed co drove custom SWB #28 to 8th OA

The experimental body was pretty not brutal like the Berlinetta

Delmo Johnson & Dave Morgan Corvette

The #1 Corvette of Yenko & Lowther passes broken #3

The number 53 MGA comes into the pits at night

Sebring in '62 was still old school with huge Air Force transports

Vintage Race photos way too dope.

hooked_on4 · 09-25-2009, 03:53 PM

Wasn't this in Gran Turisimo 4 or somethin?

Max_Power · 09-25-2009, 04:32 PM

Great pictures, thank you for sharing them!
It's seems so weird to meseeing people racing 250 GTO ferraris - but I guess back then they didn't cost 11 million dollars each

freedomgli · 09-25-2009, 04:36 PM

Got to fully experience this yesterday, well as much as driving next to it on the express way. Smell of the exhaust roar of the engine as he cut through traffic. Biggest car boner of my life:

200 ever made, formerly illegal to drive in the US>

* 0-60: 3.6 s
* 0-100: 8.3 s
* 0-125: 12.7 s
* 0-140: 19.0 s
* 0-1/4 mile (~400 m): 11.8 s @ 119 mph (192 km/h) (standing)
* Top Speed: + 197 mph (317 km/h)
