Racing a V8 Supercar (In Our Street Cars!!)

In this episode of Mighty Car Mods we are

racing

a v8

supercar

. Welcome to a special episode of Mighty Car Mods. I'm going to check one thing off my life's bucket list, which is, I'm going to cut that thing into a Daihatsu, well, it's nice. In exciting times, we've built a lot of junk

cars

over the years, so we thought, wouldn't it be great to see what junk goes against the car? Well, that's great, man, our

cars

are going to cut that thing. slow, that's made for corners, this is some kind of race track, yeah we're going to tear up that v8

supercar

again from the time they went into production a long time ago, but we've brought some of our Mighty Car Mods cars More horrible favorites here for the race.

We stripped down and we're going to be fighting between chairs here, so we chose Mazda, world famous

racing

driver extraordinaire. We've got the super cheap Auto v8 supercar and we're about to crush it which is going to be awesome because this is going to be our proof of concept, if we can get a Daihatsu to smash that car on the race track we should Daihatsu should go in v8 supercars , that's why we're here, yeah, that's why we're here, we'll have minis there, yeah, well, that's how it goes. To be absolutely extravagant, it's going to be amazing, so let's go to the strip, good luck Chas, good luck man, and we'll wait so when you get to the other end you'll know where it ends, we'll be waiting on the mini Chas Monster. he is an Australian racing legend and Bathurst champion, yes the guy can drive and this is his Ford Falcon supercar with a 5 liter Tickford Racing v8 engine in an 85 that makes over 600 horsepower, it has a tank of fuel of one hundred and eleven liters and weighs. just over 1.4 tonnes with a top speed of over 300 kilometers per hour and to get there it will go from zero to 100 kilometers in just 3.5 seconds, but will that be enough to go toe to toe with some of the Los best vehicles from the Mighty Car Mods garage so I heard two days ago that some absolute boxes can be raced and to be honest it's a waste of time but I watch every time we put on a suit. helmet I'm glad we did well on our side bet.

You don't have experience to get into the super long car. In every race we have a standing start, so you know. I think I had a good experience. I'm usually looking for turn one. but there's no turn one here, so how hard could it be, how hard could it be, man? You are about to be dominated by the sheer, brutal power of Daihatsu. It's time to introduce you to our first challenger in the form of our all-wheel drive turbo. JDM Mira for only a few hundred dollars we found this car in the back of a car yard in the country of Japan and very quickly realized it was the best thing we had ever done.

We took it to a local shop for some quick modifications and then entered a drift event which we didn't win, but it was too good to scrap so we shipped it back to Australia in two boxes and then painstakingly reassembled it with a rack Australian before the drive system meant we needed to sew up a whole new floor corral, but with that epic task completed, we now have an all-wheel drive turbo mirror with a whopping 35 kilowatts at the wheels and you're about to get cut, obviously there's a beast here deep down, these powerful karma guys really don't know what they're talking about. about this, what shy hatsue or strange visitor i had in some car or something i had never heard of her, so this is it.

Chas is being coached by his coach, something about cutting our car, and Martin is about to get some coaching from me. We'll just cut it there and there it is, so it's time for everyone to go, it's Daihatsu versus the supercar and what you're about to see is Daihatsu's first foray into competition outside of the supercar series, let's do this, he is on the left. lane you're in the right lane I just want Wow, let's expose I'm racing a Daihatsu Mira against a v8 supercar a cool turbocharged Daihatsu Mira. It's just a strange feeling to be lined up against someone who's a professional racing driver, you know, like a 600+ horsepower car on your

street

car.

Sometimes I realized that what we do is a little strange and cool. Chad must be warming up in there. I'll just turn on my fan in my lovely tram. I will feel the fresh air. I'm going to throw it hard. Today is the day, if the mirror has to sacrifice its gearbox even though it probably can't get another one. I'll do what I have to do. I'll throw this thing hard. here we go, I'm here, it's very fast, so the first race is already done. I don't know what happened, but we didn't win the supercar race and 11.7 quarter miles and the Daihatsu did 19 seconds, we'll have to chat to Marty and find out what happened, but it was a disappointing result.

I had a lot of traction problems, yes, which we do 11 and seven, but it's a little strange, we have been sensible when talking about wheel spin. The next step is that our Honda engine swapped out the VTEC mini for one of - some sort of smashing super beast with some serious Bathurst heritage. This is a JDM mini that we found in Tokyo and imported to Australia. Our first task was to squeeze a little more power out of the old A-series engine and with the help of some mates. We put a BMW Mini supercharger on it and ran it on ethanol, the first in the world to do so, but we wanted more, so we installed the JDM civic type-r B 16 B, which tripled the original power.

Obviously, Mini has a great heritage. Bethis and I think they're an amazing little car, probably the only car I'm probably afraid of coming out this diverse today, but knowing that they also have some Honda power under the hood, it's pretty impressive that this Mini has the power to weigh . ratio of an r34 GTR, but it also badly needs a new clutch, so I'm not sure how it will go today to get the power to the ground. This is scary. The second key meeting eleven four fifteen six fifteen six is ​​pretty good. Verse eleven eleven falls much faster, much faster and leading, was second best than his last race, there was a little bit of clutch slippage, there was a little bit of departure, so I turned on the power, then I had to take it off and then go back to a 15-6, that's pretty good, there's definitely a better time, but not today buddy, so it's time for our next challenger, this is mod max, a car we built for Mad Max Fury Road, it's an all-terrain innocence, Silvia, that is. powered with an ls1 v8 originally intended for the Wreckers, this car started as a legal wreck right away, then we do the obvious, steal an engine from a v8 Holden Commodore to power it, then the car was hacked, chopped up and fire painted until everything is ready.

For the apocalyptic wastelands of Western Sydney, this involves dirt and taking down zombie mannequins in its element, but today we're going to take down a supercar, well for me, mod max, that goes back to the last time I saw some of the cars. super cheap the oil campaign they did was pretty fantastic so I'm looking forward to taking on port security we'll have to see if we can, you know, whip that security guard today mod max the mountains of Japan, see Mount Druitt how the v8 Silvia goes toe to toe with the v8 supercar we have v8 versus v8 yeah I don't know I think traction will be a major issue well that's a problem with this car isn't it but it is a problem . which also has tires on my rims completely inappropriate for this going to the races here we go we have no idea what's going to happen they completely cut you off but you got twelve impressive nines it really shows you the difference between endurance and track because we had the mini.

On the track with this and the minis faster, yes, but in a straight line, this one is faster. Our next Challenger is the infamous Ford Focus RS, a 350-horsepower all-wheel-drive turbo hatchback that's capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just over 4 seconds with all the digital magic you need to help you. get there. We traveled to the Ford plant in Germany to work on this car ourselves as it made its way down the production line from hand-assembled bumpers to Recaro Brembo seats. brakes huge front intercooler and high performance exhaust this car is made for the track it has a super slick ECU controlled all wheel drive system that can send massive amounts of power to the rear wheels allowing you to drift and do epic drifts yeah The Focus RS actually competes a bit in the production series and obviously being a Ford supercar, it's in the Ford family, so I have a lot of respect for that car even though it has launch control and all that.

I think you already know that. It should be up to the driver to do all that, so I know we'll see how good my right foot is, so today it's Ford Super Hatch vs. Ford Super Car, at least we can add some traction this time, yeah, so I'm going to go with full launch control, all-wheel drive, the thing is this guy is going to be more predictable than anything else, yeah, like others cars like Mad Max. I guess they are surprising in a way, but you can search the internet to see how fast it is. Do you just have to appease the Internet and spend time on the Internet?

Yes, time on the Internet. You'll have to tell me when we get back. I think it's on the third Eames. I think it's okay, they have redlining skills every year, it's 120 miles from Hill, you got a 13:5 pretty much halfway through 13 which is what we expected, not fast enough to beat a v8 supercar. It's a pretty good time for an all-factory car. You must be like a little Aris. Does the light come on when you're overboosted or is it a shift light when you turn it red Race mode we hit the hard ride control but they cut us off yeah again yeah so I'm gonna take my truck out yeah now I wouldn't be mad if you thought that This car looked like something you would do your shopping with, but looks can be deceiving.

Introducing super grams. Subarus are famous for their turbo engines and all-wheel drive systems that make them solid vehicles on the

street

and track. It has the exact same driveline that delivered an 11-point 9 second quarter mile in my old truck, so we have high hopes for a win today. This car started out as a soccer moms daily driver and with the help of some good mates we converted it. went from automatic to 6 speed manual and put a 3.6 liter 6 cylinder Subaru Tribeca in it, with a big turbo and intercooler, set up a custom ECU and put some ethanol fuel in it, put out 280 kilowatts in the dyno and after testing it the track is sprayed with fresh paint making it one of our best all-round cars we've done right, yes it sounds like a grandpa's car forever but again it runs on ethanol, so these supercars run on e85 so you never know. this this car could be a good challenge too what are you buddy?

Grandpa is about to show you how to cut, so let's do it, good luck man, thanks, we haven't won one yet, just know it's hard, do it right. stuck I just broke Supremes now I actually broke it like I think mine I don't have keys he killed the super grapes he's dead he's dead super Grandpa is dead oh my god is this a Subaru gearbox thing? It's broken? Yes, driveshaft. Don't know. I think maybe the gearbox like the input shaft gearbox something wrong, okay something wrong, is it working currently, but I knew it's not, it's not moving?

I knew I had to throw it hard so I guess I went too hard it stuck yeah and then it kind of backed up and then it stuck a second time and you're still completely into it that second time yeah I broke my car again yeah the engines are fine that's what matters because the engines are a really fancy piece if it's a broken gearbox or a driveshaft or something it means you know you broke the driveshaft once before remember , yeah it's just the ride it has a lot of torque it has open if so if you broke a couple of driveshafts then you are loose and will lose your momentum either way it's bad but that's what happens when you get a call how are you to drags and Tron rights, if they ask you, to be honest, you know it was about to happen, so yeah, I'm glad they don't have anything else to throw at me because I'm It's a little hot and sweaty here and it's almost lunch time.

I'm pretty hungry and that's when we remember that we have one more car, this old Toyota Cresta, now the cars have been decimated, the fire destroyed the broken driveshafts like they were torn apart in a quarter mile, no. that's cool, not being sure and even less being sure means we're going to lose, okay, I got this and then don't be okay, okay, let's do it, good luck, man, okay, let's do it, Krista, buy them, it's a crime, let's do it this and that. It's a win for muscle car mods for once, manwell done, good job, ten shots, you've got eleven shots, that's pretty good, that's a win for us.

He couldn't talk or breathe, really, like he was so much faster than the last time I drove him. It was a Sorry, this time it's to pee on the flyover, I think that's history and how he left, no, he hasn't gone home, he's just getting rid of some tires, okay, thanks for the rod, thanks buddy, My godfather, thank you very much for coming here. Today that was a lot of fun, what I realized is that almost all cars are slow or broken, yes, and yours is fast and not broken, so I only have this car that shouldn't seem like a pain. auto, but it's definitely a check.

I just did this drag racing experience camp, it was a lot of fun, so yeah, in the end it ruined me because of that, how fast it is at the end, but you know it's a lot of fun, so thank you so much for having us, oh man, thank you for coming to launch a new installment of the car it's amazing so we're looking forward to a huge year and you guys are going to have to go out and maybe take a couple more positions on the track and supercars I think you guys would do whatever it takes.

Oh, come on, obviously, thank you very much, thank you very much, Jeff. The curves in those races we do, you know, they're not as good as shopping, I can't do that, I'm not good with curves, very often, or a huge thanks, of course, super, to her, Bordeaux, for supplying the car. Thanks to Chaz for Coming down you can follow him at Chaz Mosey on Instagram Instagram Facebook we're all there so yeah on all social media or you'll find him on Tinder. Apparently, thanks so much for looking, those are the Mighty Car Mods cars in the verse. supercar battle, see you next time, do you want to go get tofu, man, let's do it?

Have you eaten tofu before? No, this will be the first time. Really, can we get it white or smooth? Because there are two different types of fried reference. Can we get tofu? While we fix my wagon, do you know how to change the driveshaft? Very soft hands, man. I'm really not well. I'm more of a delegator.
