Turtle Wax/Crossfire R34

if you dont have an overboost account, make one... this thing is nuts:
http://overboost.com/story.asp?id=1460

in one of the pictures (4th one down, right side) it shows a hose going into some cartridge in the cage... in the article they talk about an air jack which would "allow the car to be lifted off its wheels at the push of a button".. does anybody have more info on this?

Re: Turtle Wax/Crossfire R34

The wheel sizing is more then to much, it's hideous, the the floor jack system is badass, you have 4 rod actuators, one at each corner and they come down and pus hthe car up, it's like an upside down hydraulic jack. Sick.

"...With a flared body both up front and in the rear, Tjin needed something massive to fill the gaps so he ordered up an insane 20”x11.5” up front with an even larger 20”x13.5” wheel in the rear."

insane is an understatement

Touring cars/F1 cars have this, but you have to stick a compressed air hose an inlet somewhere on the cars body; instantly built in jacks from the undercarrage shoot downwards lifting the car up.

Also, off roading rigs usually have compressed air stored in some parts of their roll cage, pretty cool
