Monster Garage turned a RX-7 into a dune buggy, they then proceeded to trash it with a 20mm mini-gun

They ruined a perfect FC. I dislike Jesse James.

hmm then what did they put the jet engine in? I don't really watch it much just caught that episode and remember them doing it.
And another one i caught was the 5.0 lawnmower

It was a Celica

I like how a JET ENGINE is smog legal in CA, even as an additional 1300hp engine to a car, and yet no cats are completely illegal. Something wrong there.

In any case, that guy put a RIDICULOUS ammount of time into that project, sparing no expense, and incredible attention to detail. I really like his mindset on the project. I'll have to get with him sometime to do some work on the stang.

It's a good read.

That thing looks like a ugly upside down tube and what a big
waste of money.

I just want to know where and how he gets this kind of gear to play with. That, and the money to acquire said gear. Only, the fit and finish of my projects involvng jet engines probably wouldn't be as nice as his...


"The structure holding the engine was designed using finite element analysis and is redundant. Strong, damage tolerant, and light."

Yeah, definitely doesn't sound like ~my~ kind of engineering...
