I will always have a soft spot for the AM db9

sure it's not as flamboyant or ostentatious as ferrari and lambo flabours of the week,

but it has that certain timeless class that stands the test of time

I think the AM DBS is the ultimate.......just classy as hell......

as much I love V12s and Vantage, they shouldn't do the V12 vantage.........AM seems to have that classy cruiser supercar image going, not hard core sports car, the V12 vantage seems so out of place.

Someone's been watching a little too much top gear lolz, dw im guilty of throwing in some JC vocab in my daily convo's too

Bwahaha completely unintentional I swear, so I will take it as a compliment... and an insult sif compare me with a pom

I really am just a nerd for words... an shiet

The DBS and DB9 are just that... classy.

They wanted more power in a lighter/more compact chassis; therefore V12 into Vantage. However I think they missed the point because the V12 Vantage is only 15kgs lighter than the V12 DBS.

I knew the zonda r reminded me of something. must be where they got the pinstripe idea. This is the coolest car EVER.

I heard its going to be in the new fast n furious movie driven by VIN, P.Walker is going to be racing him in the general lee, Hasselhoof is making a comeback with K.I.T.T (The perfect car when hes too drunk to drive) .The original Elenoar? Will be thrown in for the sideways action. Of course it doesnt matter how fast any of them are because at the end of the show Lindsay Lohan is gunna beat em all in Herbie

Hi.

The car which will out perform and outbrake and more importantly costs a lot less than the "pretty" cars shown so far is the Ultima. What a weapon for the price.

Hi.

Thanks for the post. Too bad we're not talking about fast cars, but good looking cars. If we have a look at the original post:

Every car has a balance of straight lines and curved and a clay model can change your opinion with just a few scrapes here and there...

Symmetry? In your face? Sexxy?

So out of 10 and why? Whats the best design car so far this century?

Take into account a photo from 4 angles...

i) front

ii) side

iii) obliquely from front

iv) obliquely from rear

it's got nothing to do with how fast it goes.

My bad. I thought they stopped doing them in the late 90s.

The FD RX-7 would also be pretty much the top of my list, especially since we're not considering the interior.

Ok so the batmobile was last century , but then i remembered this little gem from 2005. It is only a concept car but it does exsist

And from the backholden-efigy-side-rear.jpg

Doesn't anyone like curves anymore, the Bugatti Veyron is up there but a bit too bland and the grill looks like a doggy door...

I'd start a thread for the worst car design of this century, but there's no point as we all know its going to be the entire Ssanyong range.

I'd like to see you start it Alan, just so I can contribute with an 'insane' Megane.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
