PM sent too! I'll take it!

My old S2 RS V (that is now owned by MIKE) did an Apexi RSM 0-100 time in the high fives - repeatedly. Best was 5.70 stalled on brake to 2500rpm. Quarter time only run once when a little out of tune and ran 14.34 on the RSM. That was with 12psi, GTR 'cooler, only 2.5" exhaust and stock airbox. RWD an less kg's mean much better performance than RS4... With the SAFC2 I put on it, a decent tune, and maybe 14psi on a cold night it would comfortably crack a mid 13 at a sticky track... C'mon MIKE, do it!

We'll miss this machine... When Mike gets to take it thru the 'hills down there when nobody's around, and he finds close the limits of those brakes and coils, he's gonna shake all over....! But don't push it too far mate! With same weight and not much less poke than the GTR33 I've driven, it's an exhilirating car, and a better handler all round. Those who think the rwd makes Stags unstable haven't driven a well sprung one like this car! I'll stick to the 13.7 sec NA Honda for a while... but I'm sure to be back behind an RB one of these days! Country comfort calls! Should pick up our XT this week! Euro just not quite practical enough for the kids and the mutt!

GTR34 - 0-60mph or 0-97kmh in 5.6 seconds?????? Somebody can't use a stopwatch!?! In 400m this wagon, nice as it is, would be about 6 to 8 car lengths back.... Wagons might be the new black, but lets get our numbers right.... and these are amazing for a VW, even for a wagon, but not for any GTR with 4 tyres! (Even my boxy sled does 5.70 on my Apexi RSM!)

Veyron like a pirhana... effective, frightening... but UGLY! I also like the FD RX7, but since we're talking THIS century I go budget conscious (and prob very unpopular as it's not a sports car or rwd) and say the new....... VW Scirocco. Mmmm... exterior and interior... class! Just needs the RS4 V8! (tried to post pic but upload didn't work!)

You know the one. I'm sure S2 and S1 are same. I'll pay someone postage if you have a spare or know where I can find the part!!! Got the top brace... just need the other arm! Arrrgghh! (Cleaning her up for sale and lost it!) Ta!

HiPower's CRX is non-turbo and has made an impressive go at circuit times of late. I think it holds the lap record at QR!?! There's more than one way to skin a cat (or an apple!). But every way has its merits!

When you go to the drags, there's a lot of cars that do slower times than this little Type R Civic would, and yet are a lot less streetable and look a lot more (scary) incomplete. It's an impressive little car with a lot of potential. There's just as many youtube clips with hondas getting smashed, don't worry! I enjoy all of it... Run what ya brung!!! But to be a Nissan rules and all else is mud kinda guy, I may as well be a typical one-eyed Holden lover - V8's to the death kinda thing!?!?!?! I'm a car lover - some more than others - some not much at all (read Hyundai/Kia/Pontiac/Holden etc!). It accelerates.... it must be partly good!

The question is not whether the comparison was fair or not... is it interesting??? Yes! Does it give a little perspective??? Uhuh! Does a heavy supercar killer like the GTR35 make some compromises for luxury and pride of ownership??? Yes, they all do, to a greater or lesser degree! Power divided by weight = speed! (roughly speaking) Am I biased??? Uhuh, I love Hondas! Should a diehard GTR lover appreciate the obtuse end of the automotive envelope? I think so! Also, check this link out........ http://tunersource.gmblogs.com/Drag-Racing/gary-gardella FWD 4 cyl Honda drag cars are in the 7's, and the FWD record holder, as far as I'm aware, is quicker than the world's fastest GTR... (see times in above link) Not bad from 2.2L...

SAFC2 bought. To be installed soon! 300rwhp on the way I'd guess... Compare features with any of other S2's on SAU right now. Power/Handling/Kit/km's/Driftable Offers/Trades considered

Whoa! What modifications are we talking??? Obviously, RB26, worked, big fuel/boost/turbos etc. Do tell! Very impressive effort... Finally a Stag in Aust is taken down the Qtr! Which track? What boost? Post up your slip if you have it! Love to see your 60ft and half track times... Congrats! I'd say you've got more to come, esp. if you can drop ur weight and risk some semi's or slicks. 10's on the way I'd say!

PM's replied to... SAFC2 going on next week! More timing, safe fuel and even better tune! Will sell for cheaper without Impul Recaro front chairs or diff or wheels! GTT performance, better handling, more features, ideal family turbo car! Going on carsales soon... (after SAFC2!)

Ta Shane... PM sent!

Looking for some A/F Ratio control so I can use a little more timing and smooth out my power curve! Ta! PM me or post offers here!

I may be able to make it if the Stag doesn't sell by then... Want to take it down the strip before then if possible too! I'll regret it if I don't...
