General Car Talk Discussion Thread
Not much so far - aside from suspension and a turbo timer, it has a kinda shitty cold air intake.
I'm going to upgrade the intercooler, exhaust, brakes, and some of the electronics. Trying to keep everything tasteful and not over the top. Kind of glad when I first got the car I had no money because 24 year old me had different plans that I probably would have regretted.
When the weather gets a little nicer I'll start something outlining my progress.

"Not satisfied with the weight of traditional bolts, we used some unusual sizes on the McLaren F1, which meant that we needed a unique toolkit.
The weight saving didn't stop there: we made the spanners from titanium and then applied a titanium nitride coating for longevity."

it does?? Look at the deformation of the roof, look how crumpled it is. Deformation like that into the roof usually mean sizable damage to the front crash structure leading into deformation of the B pillar and cabin area
I dont see any of that in the lambo, but a windshield that looks like someone came thru it??

Possible, but look at the deformation of the roof. Its crumpled up and backwards and in on the drivers side, the same way it would in a front collision showing pretty good signs of intrusion into the cabin.
