Watched it tonight, pretty interesting. The leopard interior was kind of.. well... different... Blue and Green.... again... different.
I think Rob's car looked the nicest overall exterior. I really liked the decal on the front.
The fact that it ran a 15 sucked, but hey, it was untuned right?
Good to finally see it thought!

I am trying to download it as we speak, hoping it'll speed up a bit ... only downloading at 4kb/second as for this quote: Originally posted by Tim Grech: Hey Jerry, I was on team "Ghetto." Real original name btw.
Either way you look at it, the styling was ALL Jeremy Gore. He's from this board as well and by looking at his own car, you can see where the styling ISSUES come from. Did you not watch the show and see how badly we didn't want to paint the car that color?
The two people who impressed me the most were Tony Vaz and my lead mechanic Anthony.
Their car was gorgeous because of James (who is also a good friend of mine). He chose the color, cut their bumper, chose the drag wing, and most of the good asthetics.
Our car was good for low 13s EASILY, even untuned. We had a 200 shot of nitrous. Our cars ran absolutely amazing the first time we went to the track (got rained out). The next time out (month later or so), both cars were running like bags and our nitrous mysteriously stopped working.
I had fun anyway and I'm sure Rob and Tony would agree. Mysteriously stopped working eh.? Its been known that War of the Wheels is not the fairest reality show out there right now. My buddy Farmer was on the 240sx episode (huge guy with short blond hair)... They have had a couple ... issues with the rules being one way, and being treated as others, and the fact that the producers were paid off to allow one team to... have the upper hand... either way, entertainment is all it is eh?

I finally got to see it.
Wasn't too bad, but I don't get how they expected you to drive an untested and untuned car down the track. Thats suicide in my opinion.
I think they should have given each team two private hours at the track to get everything set up properly.

FAK.
Beneton's flavor car won by chance. I wish that Geremy of Tim would of give that Antony caracter a wrap behind the head.
Anyway, I found it fun to watch and defenately some good "team player" from Rob's team.

Nothing like bringing up a very old post. Was going through some old DVDs and came across the DVD that had the eposide where some of the Club DSM Canada members including yours truly, were in. After reading this old post i see alot of people weren't able to see it. I don't know how to "seed", so I posted it on Youtube for anyone who wants to see it can. (not sure how long its going to last on there) Man how time flies! For Mobile phone viewing, War of the Wheels Talon eposideor click the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGprOdVn8L0For PC viewing War of the Wheels Talon eposide or click the link below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IjB7l6QS6AAppreatenly there is a difference between the two The eposide is about 400MB. Enjoy

Great episode! That MK2 gti is such a nice car, "skylon" is definitely riced out! I'm really glad to have seen this episode!

I seen skylon in person a few times. It definitely.....ugh unique.
In all honesty, I feel its ugly as frack, but Jer put a lot of work into it, mostly himself, and I respect that immensely. Craftsmanship and building as a hobby with your hard earned money, is something most wont understand.

Pretty lame how there was no test and tune. Seriously, bad fracking producing. Who wants to watch two cars break down on the track. Morons. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let two teams put new motors in the car with 12k worth of new parts and not let them tune the cars at least..........well i dunno, they are just dumb.
Im not TV producer, but I promise, I could have made a more exciting show with a few simple suggestions.
Kinda regretting my decision to back out. Meh, thats life.

I have always liked that car, But Im a huge fan of hotrod'n! and customized street machines! Never got into that anti-rice bandwagon sh!t, The most important mod to my car is make it NOT look like your car!
Cool Show, sucks that they couldnt tune them. I like how anthony wasnt boasting his win cause he knew the race was lost by both teams anyway. Faster or not, you cant be happy with a 14.
I seen that episode when it oringanlly aired, and was dissapointed, but When I seen all the dsm's on passtimes, I got wondering...Mabye since the aftermarket is owned by honda.. mabye the shows are rigged to make the talons look bad so everyone buys hondas!
Even on bullrun, they killed off the EVo early in the series!

I've always loved that episode, especially since I've met both Tim Grech and Rob Greer in person, they are both excellent guys, and smart as hell.
Great episode, and I'm sure the original cast is all watching it and going "Well, in hindsight, I would have done this differently....."

It was great to watch but felt so gypped that it was all drama and 'personal' stuff...where was the technical applications? The fiberglassing the team did for the rear enclosure, the mechanic work that accounted for 20pts of the total score (why was one more mechanically sound than the other), etc... What I would love is the disclosure of the budget. What did each team spend their 12g on? All-in-all, it was amazing watching two heaps turn into glossy machines afterwards (other than the clashing two-tone and gorilla fur to cover up the peeling vinyl...ugh...) Good inspiration what 4 guys in 3 days were able to accomplish, so one guy in two months of weekends might be able to accomplish. Must say the eagle decal made that car's exterior edit: what did they go for on ebay? are they still in one piece now? status?
