I have used the huge air to air intercooler, on an engine that barely fits the car. The road going version this is based off is sporting similar setup but to a lesser extreme, and I managed to get it into the story plus Im using vents to let it look more realistic instead of it just poking through bodywork
ALSO, the next batch of entries will be processed today, it’s just… they’re showing the first half of S3 of Arrow today, and I’m sorta a fan… the marathon will be over in 5-6 hours or so.
so is everyone using turbos or some are nasp
It’s a smorgasbord of weird tech solutions
Can’t wait for that little comment section where you express your gratitude to these approaches 
Oh, you’re just in this for my comments on how cars did every stage, aren’t you? 
That’s probably the main motivation to not promptly get knocked out in the first two rounds!
Three prototype builds and counting…
well that and…yeah mostly that. I mean it doesn’t get much better than legitimately making fun of people’s interesting choices.
I’m at first one (and I quite like it) but now I see SGTV’s deadline is in 2 days so vans first than moooaaarrr SOF
We still didn’t get a fullscale landbarge entry, though. Kinda disappointing 
Oh…kay… so I think I know who’s a main contender then, I just updated an existing platform without much prototyping. Also hoping to see you back to form, man. Your competitiveness motivates others to better their work.
yeah you are right.
Smooth Navi 6X
AWD, 350HP and not much offroadability… well shit 
But hey, my last car was MR fat lotus and that turned out well.
You just took the 75 entry and added headlights, didn’t you?
A modified rally version of the Gran Romero, Petoskey Motors newest fleet vehicle.
With some regret I report that unsurprisingly, not all bodies are created equal.
To mitigate this, I would humbly suggest for next time, perhaps limiting tyre widths to 335-345mm.
If some bodies are obviously not in the spirit of competition, I think it’s reasonable to ban them.
It’s more tyrewidth issues than unbalanced bodies
I do believe that such is the nature of this contest that any and every body should be fair game. They do have their advantages and disadvantages after all.
For example rear-engined cars with phat rear wheels can be very quick, but they often have small engine capacities and are bloody hard to tune well. AWD cars tend to be heavier but the AWDness improves their offroad stat, plus the extra weight means you can put much more juice in the engine and still make it through the first stage. The format of this contest is really quite marvellous at making a competitor create something versatile.
Not to mention that AWD does eat up some of your engine compartment space, based on my experiences, so not just are you heavier, you can’t put quite as big an engine in your car. But, you’ll get off the line faster and you’re better off-road, so sometimes it’s not quite as much of a disadvantage.
Given some of the engine bays in here can fit an engine good for well over 400bhp even with AWD, I suspect I know where the balance of choices is going to lie, and it’s not going to be FR and 500bhp 
Must be the only person to be going FF then
