I'm watching the show right now. This is one of the most intuitive episodes I've seen from them yet. I'm glad they got rid of that deuschbag who was hired to do all the exterior stuff, I didn't like him at all. I had no idea that Brian guy could drift. He did very well testing the 86. I have to say, they did a pretty simple, yet bang up job.

yeah it was pretty good, except for the fact that they painted it purple. uhhhhh, and that suspension guy can drift because he knows how to drive really well. that is the problem with most people today, they wanna learn how to drift, they should just learn how to drive well and control a car under many different situations, and the drifting will come easily. just my .02

Yeah I hate the graphics guy, he's always talking crap about how good or bad a car looks. I mean that guy was in love with the Escalade that they spend 20 grand on and left the motor stock. I too noticed how good of a driver that guy was, he had really quick hands.
Btw did anyobody notice that they put new shocks and springs in and nothing else, I thought than when you lower an 86 you have to put in a new bracket for the panhard rod so the axle stays centered in the car. I know they swapped the springs but I dunno if they were stock height or not.
It was enlightening to see just how much work it was to swap the GZE in there.

It was definatley one of the better episodes (The silvia one sucked. The Body kit/wing combo was horrid)
I was surprised how much the make funb of the 4AG motor. it's not a bad motor. They did that with the KA motor too. Not everything is better that base. You just have to learn about it and fugure out it's querks.

Yeah it would have been nice if they used an ajustable panhard but then an 86 could use RCA's when lowered too, or they could have put in some swaybars, rollcage and what not, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
p.s. Other episodes I liked were the Saturn Ion Redline and Neon SRT-4. That SRT-4 was pushing 372 hp. Funny they didn't bother putting an LSD in it.
The graphics guy drives me nuts. He disses everything.
