In the US: Kit or roller
(No complete cars though your dealer can solve this for you)

In the UK either of those plus complete? 620 comes only as a factory build there but comes here as a roller AFAIK

Caterham build lead time is down to like 12 weeks I’m told which is a historic low. In other news, I feel like prices are also at a historic high for them at least in the US.

I also thought they were like $50k but pretty sure I’m off by about factor of two even without the powertrain. One reason the completed cars might be creeping up is the build waitlist at LB is like, almost five years?

I know of one stateside guy with Evora powertrain, that can’t have been cheap

Local 7 guy is getting one so hopefully I can get my paws on it someday (most likely as a passenger I’m gonna assume)

I feel great about replicas when they’re good and the real thing is never ever gonna happen…

That said, $223k sure is some real money too 🙃

I regret to inform you that they know exactly what they’re doing and there are variant labels (I bought the only can with Suki’s S2K, I don’t need an Eclipse. Unless there’s more than three…)

But actually I wanted to do some merch using various TURBO logos used across different manufacturers and I ran into a snag on BMW’s due to no two cars matching 🙃

Why yes it’s me the person who had a whole (twitter, sorry) thread about bad Sega Astro City reproduction art thank you for asking

Friend has pointed out the possibility that there are multiple real versions but given how off some of them are I’m still betting bad repro

I’ve seen many variations but in the end I think I decided that the car in BMW’s own historical collection is close to a source of truth

T/F bring back my thread about trying to re-create the “correct” obruT stickers? (Spoiler: I don’t think this car has the correct ones)

What I really hate is that you can block but you can’t detach followers “due to ATproto” so you’re stuck with them forever

@supcat.bsky.social Sega should release this as the Saturn Mini.

A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

imagine finding out via the news that your bike is locked in for the weekend and you won't be able to get it back to ride home at the end of the workday today

Given that the two Ford garage I actually have is a cheat I’m going with Niall’s answer

Battlegarage guys pointed out how the hood weighs noticeably more than OEM one, reminds me of when my friend got an insurance replacement hood on his Miata 25 years ago and it was steel 😭

Anyway given that the average or all AE86s aren’t totally straight it does bring up the questions of whether this is any worse and the answer is: I don’t know. But probably yes.

“Some idiot drilled this out and threaded it for fine pitch hardware” (yes and yes, get ready to use a 13mm wrench on an AE86!)

Also, they should’ve definitely weighed this thing before putting anything on it

You can still get a shell for less than what they want for this so it’s a very valid question. I feel like it’s gotta be better to justify the price.

OTOH Caterham has been making the same thing since 1973 and still can’t get all the holes to line up or ship the right hardware all the time, so…

Reproduction AE86 Review - Is It Actually Any Good?
YouTube video by Battle Garage Racing Service Reproduction AE86 Review - Is It Actually Any Good?

Since every SEMA build is a rush job I am curious if chassis #2 is any better. Bigtime bought it from Battle Garage who gave some first impressions a few weeks ago. The factory should probably be paying attention to these videos as they point out so many little things they got wrong.
