Awesome work by the twinky mitsu!

i havent looked at the link yet, but it would be john shepards super quick mitsu talon.

it used to run in NHRA sport compact class PRO STREET against the titan supra. but he decided to take it up a notch and is running slicks now and a bit of weight reduction. its still a manual box and he uses the clutch to change gears unlike some people here in australia

oh forgot to add, he seems to now run only in puerto rico, they mainly just match race.

if your into drag racing check out agracingphoto website, or the hardcore pr site, theres heaps of awesome stuff on there.

It reads like a Spanish -> English translation but:

" The man behind all that is John Shepherd the same that years ago intimidate the Street tire class some years ago, but like always every true racer have the same trouble in satisfying themselves and John have that problem too. Because of that he are in continues changes looking to beat himself every single time gets on the track. Other good things in this project are the determination and perseverance that have John with the same car and how he always fined new things to get the car faster and stronger especially in the drive train the weak link in every AWD except this one. Shepherd make himself the best technician Mitsubishi Trans. in US maybe World Wide and the 7.97 @ 179 speak for him. "

Touchy, touchy! OK, I get it now. A race car ran a high 7, cool.

No, a 2500lb, street driven 4 cylinder car ran a high 7.

FFS, it has a manually shifted box - I thought you would've pulled the end off one by now, Kenny?

:D

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
