I refuse to acknowledge the difference between "dude can steer" and "dude is bat shit mental" when it comes to mike and mcflys track habits

They are both amazing drivers. They are both aware of their skill level and know exactly what their cars will do. Mike needs a better turbo.

Eh .... Way to much focus on the corners not enough on the chopping zones

Needs a sign at qr "WARNING: Scissors thrown in this area"

Wait, Mike chopped you with a factory 33 turbo? And you think that you can take the Wedge? Really?

13.8 in what... When?

GTR in about 2008ish

What did it do when it when knock down the strip? Thought that it was 14.2 with a 2.1 60 foot or something absurd like that.

there was a 13.8 at ~100 mile with no launch and lifting off just to see how it was traveling, this was the 2.1 sec 60ft

Then there was the 14.2 at ~ 75 mile with a epic rev limit launch with a 1.58 60ft and a spun bearing at somwhere around half track

I've done 12.2 can I be in the race too :nyaanyaa:

Too fast to be in this race!

With Ben? Where is Ben?

Roun' back.

I need a turbo that isn't trying to empty all my oil into the exhaust and some much sticker tyres, I have reached the limit of what 595ss' can give me.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
