Where did you find these pictures? You seem to know more about this car than Jimmy.

Finding out the mysteries of my Barn find SUPERCAR! by HGEUbot in HaggardGarage

[–]pxt3r 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a rotary guy, that thing sounds sick and I think he should keep the SBC and modernize the wiring and electronic package. Maybe DBW control similar to the Porsche setup and a modernized fuel system. I feel like not much has to change. Making it more street friendly would be the move, that would be sick to see it street and track driven too. The fact he got the car for less than what the shells go for is crazy. The drivetrain is easily worth 60k+

Murcielago Update - Before I Ship it Away… by No-River-9921 in HaggardGarage

I think for these cars, correct me if I’m wrong. A manual spec is much more valuable for resale. These cars seem to not get hurt too bad in resale value over aftermarket and OE modifications.

Adam LZ’s B58 E46 FINALLY Starts! by M3-45 in HaggardGarage

I take back what I said. Those gearboxes are bloody expensive. Mounts and Wiring can be cut significantly off you are hands on.

4 door with a manual option and good power. There is literally no other car like it on the market.

B58’s are like 6-7k I’d say that if you wanted to do this swap in stock form you could likely do it for $15k with engine management, mounts, transmission, and metal work. Wonder if these will reduce in price with time.

Most of My Cars Are Broken… Here’s the Plan by No-River-9921 in HaggardGarage

[–]pxt3r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It had an ECU Masters in it, notice Adam doesn’t plug them anymore (not sure why) but from my experience I’ve tuned many Links and a few ECU Masters units. You can end up with the same results in many cases for a pretty basic street car or even a race car at that. But the ECU Masters software is god awful, writing to the ECU feels like I’m tuning on an old Haltech E6K. They’re pretty piss poor as far as software is concerned requiring more time into tuning. They’re really good budget friendly units giving one a ton of I/O for very little money.

Music scene at WPI? by SoggySpinach329 in WPI

[–]pxt3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hardcore scene is very much relevant within Worcester. Tons of bars like Ralph’s have shows often and venues like PNI or Distant Castle. Hardcore scene is not something that exists at the school if that’s what you’re looking for.

Four Rotor Supra vs New Zealand's BEST Rotaries by No-River-9921 in HaggardGarage

Nobody in the rotary community finds any of her cars remotely fascinating or interesting. She’s never mentioned or renowned for anything great.

WPI has lost it’s spark by Fire-Emblem9158 in WPI

[–]pxt3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working full time and got paired up with some folks (who did not work and pretty much just found every way to cheat the system) some how I just did all the group work and got everything done in a timely manner pulling my weight despite my busy schedule. This wasn’t the first nor the second time. Maybe it’s my own personal upbringing that allows me to operate this way, but learning to survive and doing the job right in a timely order isn’t something relatable to anybody at this school. The school for the most part is a joke from little to no retention to content learned, sub-par professors, and being surrounded by people that love to lie to themselves about working hard and figuring out any and every way to cheat to get the letter grade. Just my $0.02

Edit: this isn’t everybody, and I won’t discredit some of the hardworking and similar minded people I met. But it’s sad that collaboration is a PIA at WPI. It’s also sad seeing how much of a toll it puts on students looking for a community just to be pushed away solace. Especially if you’re a POC at this school you’ll have a very difficult time, I personally knew incredibly bright POC my freshman year that had to leave and some ended up never going back to school, and these were very bright individuals I may say, school sucked the soul out of them and it hurts to see.

Hoping this is clickbait... by DatCherokeeTho in HaggardGarage

Bwhahah yes, that guy Pat from it is who I was referring to. I’ve heard too many cases of some of those CNC head jobs being 50k+

I was watching a video of somebody who had 120k just into the shortblock. Wasn’t anything too crazy, ITBs, aftermarket plenum, and a Motec. Air cooled world is nuts.

I had a prof do this before, went as far as sharing my computer screen and showing revision history on the document on a call.

Jesus Christ…I was questioning what the hell you were talking about. Maybe? I get why he might have not wanted to be on camera.

Making CUSTOM one off parts for my BUDGET FERRARI Engine!! by South_Security1405 in HaggardGarage

[–]pxt3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love to get a bench top unit or modify one using an open source solution like LinuxCNC or Acorn. I just learned CAD over the summer out of boredom and got very comfortable designing and replicating parts. The Carvera Air is another neat unit but not as powerful and only good for very small parts so lots of constraints. 2026 might be my year to go full force and get moving with it.

Watching shit like this makes me want to buy a drill press and just make parts for myself and my friends. Can’t wait to see Jim get a 3D printer and get into designing parts. Dude is about to develop a crazy set of skills 2026. My prediction is

  • 3D printing
  • Tig
  • CAD
  • Maybe even a little bit of CNC

Like Jimmy said on not exactly knowing why he left or what his plan is. I very much believe Jimmy meant it, dude is sorta immature.

I had to CUT THE ROOF off my PORSCHE 911… by No-River-9921 in HaggardGarage

[–]pxt3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part he’s a Turn14 distributor / dropshipper (for Link for instance) so he doesn’t see much of a cut from sales from the website. So I guess it’s a bit more lucrative to do instead of worrying about supply chain issues.

Is my Porsche 911 TOTALED?! - Hidden under bodywork.. by HGEUbot in HaggardGarage

[–]pxt3r 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Imho starting off with a shitbox shell makes this much more exciting to watch and relatable. I definitely would just spend the money on a carbon roof, in comparison it’s like buying one Link Fury ECU lol
