Thats awsome, why you ask, why bloody not, the thing would scream, I went in one years ago with a pos 4 cyl na which was pretty fast, would sound sweet to opened up.

if that thing sinks i think i'd cry....

well der car boats have been done before... half of the asian boats are made like this....

But has anyone seen a 2jz with a big single top mount on it before on a dodgey boat like this? I think not

Is it just me or does that boat look like a prime candidate for filling with water the first time he nails the throttle?

I've run up and down many rivers in Asia (especially Thailand) (and in the ocean occasionally) on boats like this... they go like stink in a straight line, expescially the big ones on Mae Naam Chao Phraya that can seat about 20 people... but because the direction of push from the propeller is centered in the motor about 1m above the waterline, they have to stop and just edge the boat a little bit at a time to turn it... when they get it pointed where they want it, the drop the prop back into the water, open the taps, and they go like stink...

So any little runabout would eat them, since they can't turn, but they are great fun... kinda reminds me of all of the pussy drag cars, racing means cornering :D ...

BTW, they are generally built like this because of the shallow draft, and because there is usually a lot of floating weeds in the river, so they can easily lift to prop out of the water to clear it...

ya but the 2jz is still more reliable than 2 F440 engines lol....

Why the hell would you waste those engines on an ugly red boat?

Because you have that much money you have weird dreams and then go "you know what, im going to get some one to build that". lol.

Also millionairs have Ferrari's, other millionairs have big boats, then there is billionaires that build ferrari boats.

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
