Buy This "Baby Driver" Stunt Car And Plan Your Own Rhythm-Augmented Bank Heist

Last summer, a 2006 Subaru WRX stunt car used in the movie Baby Driver appeared on eBay, garnering tons of attention from gearheads and movie fans alike. That car, which was converted to rear-wheel drive and upgraded with a bigger turbo, ended up selling for over $69,000. Now, there's another Baby Driver WRX stunt car for sale, and this one sounds a whole lot more capable.

Welcome to You Must Buy, our daily look at the cars you really should be buying instead of that boring commuter sedan.

This 2006 Subaru WRX was one of the cars used in the movie's opening bank robbery scene, but unlike the previously-mentioned eBay car, this one retains its factory all-wheel drive. A complete STI drivetrain swap, upgraded differentials, forged pistons, an upgraded Exedy clutch, and a hydraulic handbrake are among the modifications listed.

Cosmetically, the car looks incredibly well put-together, especially for a stunt car post-production. It's capable, yet subtle—exactly what Edgar Wright intended for the role.

The car is said to be perfectly functional, and will come a build sheet, receipts, and matched screenshots from the movie included. It'll be sold through Mecum Auctions during the firm's Houston 2018 event in April with no reserve. There's no price estimate listed, but we have a pretty good idea of what the car will sell for judging by the last car's sale price.

Transverse Vs Longitudinal Engines: The Pros And Cons

The way in which an engine is orientated can have a huge influence on the rest of a car’s design. Should the car be rear-wheel drive? What size of engine is expected? Are there space issues that could influence which way the engine lies? All these questions have to be answered by the engineers responsible for the car, as the powertrain setup can have a large impact on how the car goes, handles and stops. Looking at front-engined cars, the two possible orientations are longitudinal and transverse, with each having its own benefits and drawbacks that can govern which is chosen for the car at hand. In-light of this engineering decision, here’s a basic guide to the features of each engine layout and which is best for different applications. Transverse engines Transverse engines are mounted perpendicularly to the direction of travel, lying horizontally within the engine bay. This is predominantly used in front-engined, front-wheel drive setups but has also been implemented i...

Mods To Do On Golf 4 1.8T

The order of these mods is recommended, although everyone decides to go down their own path. 1. Maintenance before modding - This includes changing fluids, spark plugs, filters, timing belt, Making sure your brakes work etc ... Some cars may need more maintenance than others, but It's never a good idea to start a modding a car that has not been properly maintained. 2. Catch Can - A catch can be a great preventative mod that will reduce the amount of carbon build up in your engine. Our PCV systems are a known problem, and carbon buildup becomes a big one issue that reduces power in our cars. Although a catch can not completely fix the issue, it will definitely help. Pairing one with the occasional sea-foaming will help keep your valves clean and carbon free. 3. Downpipe (DP) - The reasons I put these two categories together is because they are go hand in hand. I will explain each one individually later on. The stock DP on the mkiv 1.8t is very restrict...

What is "anti lag" and how does it work

HOW THE TURBO ANTI-LAG SYSTEM WORKS Bang-bang (also known as ALS which stands for Anti-Lag System) is an engine management technique that allows to minimize the turbo lag time. As you may be aware of, turbochargers display what is known as lag time, which is the time needed for the turbine to reach its full throttle from the intermediate rotational speed state. The duration of a turbocharger's lag depends on many factors, including its inertia, airflow efficiency, back pressure, etc. The issue is partly dealt with by fitting a turbo dump valve, which acts every time the driver lifts his foot from the throttle. The dump valve will evacuate the pressure air coming from the turbocharger while the inlet manifold is closed so that the turbine does not stall and avoid possible damage to its bearings. In racing cars it is very common to fit the oversized turbochargers in order to be able to produce enough boost pressure and ensure sufficient engine output. Big turbochargers exhibit sig...
