  • We found 2WISTD on the cover of a magazine from 10 years ago featuring the full build and mod list, so now it's time to finally reveal the history of this car and see if it still lives up to the cover car hype...

      This style car was normal in California in the late 90's. There is a delay....When UK and AU/NZ started building really fast Hondas, that scene died a bit. Poor enthistust go B series while those with more money go K series. Most raced these days not really seeing street duty. Some 2nd gen Honda runners own new Si's and Type R's as daily drivers. Again a delay...

      Thought the same, but they've mentioned in the article that he inherited it from his grandfather 6 years before and that was when the build started, thus meaning it started in 2004. Also, I suspect it was already completed for a good while by the time it was featured in the article, maybe he had just done some finishing touches.

      I think it's a change in economy and cars. Young people can't afford to spend 100k on a 5k car now. Housing prices are nuts. Cars haven't been 'cool' for a long time, with the focus being on emissions, safety, and entertainment features over actually making interesting cars. The guys that built these sexspec cars grew up in the 80s and 90s when there were endless relatively cheap sports cars to drool over coming out all the time. Manufacturers almost went bankrupt doing that, and now many of them don't make a single interesting car. There were also still tons of 60s and 70s cars around that their Dads grew up with and modified and had a good time in, so having a cool car was always something to aspire to. They couldn't afford to buy the 'real' Evos and WRXs that they wanted, but they could buy a shitty Lancer and throw on big rims and a stereo, then get hooked and spend tens of thousands on custom interiors.
      Kids today haven't grown up in an interesting car world, they've grown up in an appliance SUV world where the most interesting thing about them is they can stream music from their phones. They're not interested in putting giant chromies on a Civic in the same way no one is interested in modifying their fridge. And the guys that did build sexspec cars are now in their 40s with kids and can't afford the money or time to spend on a car you can't drive legally or take passengers in, and has no resale value.

      I’ve seen a couple of magazine cars from my country. One of them (an Eclipse) was still driving in a sort of Frankenstein existence with the original show bits mixed with replacement oem stuff. Imagine overly show bumpers with big holes showing the bare chassis of the car because the mesh covers were gone a long time ago mixed with cheap steel wheels, faded paint, ricer rear wing held with plastic straps, broken side skirts and cracked interior full of holes where speakers once were. It’s awful lol. Another I saw (Lexus IS) gathering dust outside a house on top of blocks as a skeleton of it’s former self with most of its stuff removed, it didn’t even have wheels anymore and I’m guessing most of the drivetrain was removed as well.

    Guys I did it! In your last video I said you had inspired me to get my old sub up and bumping again and I did it! I confirmed the amp still worked using a 12V power supply and a cheap 6x9, then took it back home and cleaned all the contact points. It was then that I realized that the power cable had completely turned to oxidation where the ring terminal was connected. That is why I couldn't get power at the other end. But I trimmed the wire back and it works now! I need to splice into one of the stock speaker lines to get a signal, but just running it from my phone it was shaking they whole house and making my dogs go crazy (according to my wife) can't wait till I can jam to some banging tunes again. This rust bucket of a winter car needs at least one redeeming factor lol

      FWD has a lot of wheelspin in the Lancers. They could easily do it with the 4G15 1.5L carby donk that was in them too. The 4G93 1.8 EFI span easily too. When I put 4G93T and 4G63T motors in Lancer coupes, sedans and wagons the torque steer was fun... aot if fun! but the grip sucked. Too much loss of power through the loss of traction was a let down. If you go AWD yes you lose power to the rear diff, but it makes up for it in launching, handling and strength. If youve driven a FWD then AWD really hard and around corners etc, you will choose AWD everytime over FWD.
      Stock EVO internals will do 300kw atw FWD no problem. With forgies in it, put a bigger turbo on 2WISTD and bigger injectors on E85, if done right the thing will make 370-400kw atw FWD. Just wait and see.

      Because AWD gearboxes have a centre diff that transfer power from the engine to the front wheels and to the rear diff via a viscous coupling unit. It splits the power to front and rear wheels. Transferring power to the rear diff/wheels robs power. So when you use a welded viscous coupling/ weld the centre diff to lock the centre diff, the RWD split is taken out of the equation (because it doesnt have a rear diff why lose power trying to drive them). So now effectively you have all power going to the fronts only. Ive done these mods lots of times as I built the W5m33 transmissions for all sorts of uses AWD, RWD or FWD.

Ive done the welded centre diff, welded vcu and aftermarket 1 piece billet vcu locking spline. It depends what was available at the time. The problem with using a vcu locking spline is that power still goes to the centre diff and you can make centre diff salad out if it because its the weakest link. I would much rather weld a centre diff (using a damaged one from another build) as its unbreakable. Then as you know, cap off the output shaft. There's a few ways it can be done.

My daily beater was inspired by Moog as I did everything on my Subaru that I would have never done on my weekend race warrior S2000. Every once in awhile I'll see one of the most outrageous cars that seem like it came straight out of the sex spec era, but it's one of those cars where you can tell the owner put a lot of dedication into... I just can't talk shit about it. You just look at it and go: "You know what, you do you...more power to you".
    Glad you two appreciate cars like that. I remember when you hooked up with the 88's and they welded some pipe on the exhaust to make it look like Mickey Mouse. Why? Because it looked cool. That's it! If there's anything that's pure, it's that authentic love and care for their rides.
