Re: New photoshoot of my 91' B4C/Firehawk clone
I'm curious, coming from a past professional-current serious hobbyist in photography, what lighting rig are you using that is big enough and powerful enough to get those results but small enough and portable enough you feel comfortable setting it up on a open road with traffic?
Amazing pictures!
Amazing pictures!

You should have turned the wheel at least a little bit off from dead center. Somewhat visually confusing to see the wheels turned and the wheel straight, LOL.
Car looks amazing.

Those are amazing shots. Hopefully my amateur photographer skills will get that good one day.

Props to the car owner and props to the photographer. I'm not super into pictures but this guy knows his stuff. Looks sick!

They were the old ZF transmissions. Super rare, and the T56 is probably better.

Re: New photoshoot of my 91' B4C/Firehawk clone
Sometimes I wish I had a T5.... that's an extra 60 lbs off the car and I don't think street tires are going to blow one up, especially when all I do is autocross....
But I do wonder... at what point do you get nervous? 245/50/16s arent enough to break it on the autocross course, but what about some 18x10 R-compound tires? is that enough?
Still... I'd rock that T5 as long as I could.

I think the T5 can be more stout than people credit it for. We're swapping the WC case for a GForce case and using the rear cluster support.

Re: New photoshoot of my 91' B4C/Firehawk clone
I think the T5 is super weak, and when they break before 10-bolts do, that's pretty telling. That said, I think when you avoid drag racing, they can last a long time. Drag racing is just brutal on mechanical parts. More specifically the launches. They're almost perfect for autocross.

Re: New photoshoot of my 91' B4C/Firehawk clone
the 91-92 Firehawk engine was like a ZZ4 but more like a ZZ3 short block with 9.8 to 1 compression and pink rods, where a ZZ4 has 10 to 1 compression and powdered metal steel rods.
Unless they chose the option 366 Rodeck aluminum short block assembly. still trying to find bore x stroke figures on that option.
