pixel8r Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 My NA, 4cyl, 1.8L Laser TX3 has 123kw. Celicas are 2.0L as well. hmmm, what year? redbook has them at 92kw which seems much more likely. for the record, 2L s13 silvia na is about 105kw and most cars in this class (including older celicas) are under 115kw More recent celicas have 140kw which is a bit nicer but the gripe I have with almost all n/a cars is that it takes you all year to actually reach the redline. No better way to feed your engine than a turbo IMO. n/a is like running along with your mouth open lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164902-my-mate-reckons/page/3/#findComment-3061090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl33ek Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It really is true about how brave you are. I've driven against my friend in his SSS n14 pulsar. stock except teins, cams and exhaust, dynoed at around 95kw. We havn't dragged, but he let me drive his car and I know without a doubt I can easily beat him on the straight. But we cruised once on the old pacific hwy, I thought I'd go first thinking I didnt want to get stuck behind him, but he was up my ass the whole way to the point where he was starting to piss me off lol. I wasn't exactly slow either, flooring it on the straight and going as fast as i dared around the corners. So on the way back I let him go first and he just took off, he was so far ahead I seriously thought he slid off the mountain lol A few minutes later I see him pulled over the side of the road, bonnet up. I ask him whats wrong and he goes something's rattling. So we look and it turns out he was pushing so hard that the bracket for his battery was bent out of shape and the battery was bouncing around LOL. He had a whiteline sway bar too, and I just thought fark that is one crazy mofo All down to driver skill and balls Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164902-my-mate-reckons/page/3/#findComment-3061151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kursed Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 you just put your foot down in an auto. what the hell does that have to do with 'driver ability'? LOL shit my R34 is non turbo auto and i have raced new v8s and munched them off the line and pulled away from them..... its all about driver ability in the end...... what the driver is willing to risk to get ahead and to win....... its as simple as that..... obviously the cars power and performance has alot to do with it but having higher horsepower dont mean ur gunna have a quicker car....... like i said my bog stock non turbo automatic 96.5Kw RB25DE has decimated 300+Kw v8s makes me scratch my head to this date but meh.... just driver ability in the end Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/164902-my-mate-reckons/page/3/#findComment-3061390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scathing Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I dont know if that was aimed at me or not but my comment was purely a who cares if its faster or not He obviously bought a Skyline becasue he likes a skyline and his mate bought a celica because he likes a celica. Fair enough. If you didn't buy the Skyline because its a sports car then it shouldn't matter to you that you in your vastly more powerful coupe just got chopped by a dinky old Celica. Of course, I'd question what about the Skyline appeals to you if not the performance....but that's outside the scope of this discussion. There are always going to be things better out there than what you have the point I was trying to convey was you should be happy with what you have. The moment you're happy with what you have, you stop wanting to improve yourself or what you've got (so, no more modifying then). Why would you, when you're "happy"? Like you said, there's always something better so that means you're content with being mediocre. Not my cup of tea, but horses for courses...... And the gay comment along with the other garbage wasnt really needed was it? Your post lost credibilty the moment you posted that crap! I didn't start off with the "hairdresser" comments, I just responded to it. Your lack of understanding at how "rebuttal" works in a debate speaks more about your (lack of) credibility than mine.

You drive a car with an RB20DET willingly, and think that you're somehow superior to a Celica. You need a lot more than a new outlook on life.

So in the end, if his mouth is where his car is really at and he has a vastly superior suspension setup to mine and he is able to keep 110kw to the road at all times, tehre is a possibility he could keep up with a 240kw skyline with a GT30R and a good tune?...

IMO, Celica's are hairdresser cars, please dont tell me otherwise cause I know of 2 with Celicas... I honestly dont know where this is going? 2 different cars 2 different drivers. If you both have balls of steel then it would be something to talk about, we dont know what both of you a like at driving etc and if your willing to push your cars to there maxium limit. its to hard to tell. as i said earlier in the thred would you expect so see a stock std ca18 silvia out run a light modded gtr on the mountain? alot of people wouldnt so??

eMsta Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 is he talking about the touge? cos if the celica is in front of the skyline in the touge, it hasnt necessarily won. He needs to take into account the start gap, and the end gap between the 2 cars.
