I'm really loving this one. Rare to see car with an oversized oil pump to make sure the engine runs smooth ;)

I must admit that I'm a little sad to see this isn't a Solstice with a Lamborghini Murcielago body kit though :(



Thanks buddy and don't fret, I'll get that Solstice up in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail! :D

How is it people who own such a rare bird and get the paint looking like that?

Curious how the car will look in 12 months?



'Truck Norris'? Funny stuff.

'Truck Norris can slam revolving doors!?'



Thanks Dean! Well the owner is deathly afraid of car washes here and has every right to be, so instead of taking it to the grinder he just let it sit dirty... until he found me :).

What a cool car!



Very interesting with the AA but you did a amazing job on the car!!



Thanks Eddy, yeah it was a bit strange rubbing Armor All on a car like that :)!
 
Jesse ma' man, you never cease to amaze me in your writeups. Edutainment-pure and simple. Exige looks mint.



Hail truck norris. :drool:
 
interesting read for sure, thank you for the indepth report!



in this photo, the Accusump holds a few quarts of oil. When the car goes into a high-G lateral turn the fluid in the oil pan will shift away from the pick up sump. The milisecond there is a drop of oil pressure, this pump kicks in, spiting additional oil into the system to make up for the fluid imbalance. It also works in reverse so that the system isn't flooded. It's an awesome set up and it shows the owner is truely raggin' on his car, when he drives, not just pampering it.

Oh thank you Mr. Fazékas! Beszélsz magyarul is? :)



No sadly I dont. I wish I could though.



(you did ask me if I spoke hungarian right?) :P



Hungary's on my list of places to visit next time I come through Europe. Especially given the family history and all. When I make it over there I'll have to stop by and say hello.
