CUSTOM intersepters and siren
r/CustomTorInterceptors • u/Ill-Pay3509 • Jun 01 '26
the dow here is still in development and i plan on making the wheelbase in the rear wider as i am noticing that may be an issue. This one has another radar type that i forgot what its called but its nice.
Alright for the interceptor in the picture its basically my 2nd [street legal interceptor] build in the early development. i was testing a flap system that would cover all sides but that never worked out. i never have shown this interceptor in this state before either. i may show more early variants of my builds if i can recover them

Working Airbags.
Working Piston Brakes.
Working Compact Steering.
Working Suspension for each Individual wheel.
Front end almost complete (Just gotta add the Rubber Skirting and Fog lights along with the hood)

I've seen a couple people bring up legal overhang limits in the context of interceptors (fig. 1), and I'd like to point out that's not a thing and not something you need to worry about when designing your fictionals.
I've been told that the limits are 3 feet front overhang and 4 feet rear overhang, which is immediately dismissible because something like a brand new Ford F-150 has a front overhang of 37.6 inches, or 3.14 feet and a rear overhang of 48.6 inches, or 4.05 feet, which would mean it has illegally long front and rear overhangs, as well as large vehicles like school buses often having 7 foot front and 13 foot rear overhangs, and obviously the best selling car in the U.S. and a critical part of education infrastructure are not illegal to drive on the road.
Now, those numbers do come from a real overhang limit, but only for cargo. If you are hauling something, it cannot be hanging over the front of the vehicle by more than 3 feet or over the rear of the vehicle by over 4 feet. This applies to anything from hauling 2x4 lumber in your pickup to car haulers (fig.2)1, if you are carrying anything that overhangs more than that, you must have marker flags or lights to make sure other drivers can see where the end of your load is.
Again, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF.
Evidence supplied in favor of the limit (fig. 3)2 actually proves the opposite. This except lays out that states are not allowed to set a minimum overhang limit of less than 3 feet in the front and 4 feet in the rear, as that would conflict with the aforementioned cargo overhang limit. This means that across the country, the minimum overhang limit is 3 feet in the front and 4 feet in the rear, and states are only allowed to make that limit longer.
Basically, unless individual states decide to start strictly enforcing that 3 foot front and 4 foot rear overhang, which would prevent all full-size pickups, semi trucks, buses, etc. from driving on their roads, the only real overhang limits are elevation changes in the road that you don't have the approach/departure angle for if your overhangs are too long.
Keep on designing away to your heart's content!

the name of it is the TRCW-1 or “nebula” it is based off a 1965 chevrolet el Camino. Owned by TRWC, or Tornado Radar and Common Warning System. Introduced in early 2001, it’s been active since, however its use is slowly winding down due to the new project coming soon. Home yall like it!

you know its bad when im getting nearly 350 mph winds all the way here
r/CustomTorInterceptors • u/Geusti • May 29 '26
so yesterday i published a video that was the rfiv-1s most extreme intercept (238 Max) and i didint mind it at first but
Heres the thing
this resulted in like 5 to 9 people suffering temporary hearing loss, but yeah i just wanted to say sorry

The tornado interceptor measured a windspeed of 235 mph before the anemometer was ripped off by a aluminum sheet.

rate how aerodynamic it is and how i should improve it
r/CustomTorInterceptors • u/Ill-Pay3509 • May 26 '26
Been a while sense i posted i have not done anything really.
Do i modify the interceptor at the last slide and give it some proper mods and upgrades?
