Have any of you fellas actually put a time down the 1/4? 

Greg/Birds/Toby? 

I know Hame did like a 12.6 or something which is still one of the better times I've seen for a street skyline with coilovers and hellaflush fitment 

I'm a god damn street racer

The only slips that matter to me are pink

Toby, before jumping too fast onto the EFR bandwagon, you really look into how much effort it will be to bolt one on to your setup? Do you need a new exhaust manifold/hotside piping/wiring for turbo speed sensors/new oil & water fittings/boost controller.

Never really interested me to go to the drags to be honest

I think greg went recently? Not sure what his times were

I did 12.6 with dying AFM's, rubbish BC coilovers and tune that makes more black smoke than diesel Golf.

Not sure how someone over 6' would get along with it though

I'm sure it's fun to drive like the 86 in the bends, but if Mazda would just give these cars a small turbo and/or some respectable power, they would play havoc with the 86 and hot hatch markets. It's certainly cheap enough to be a serious contender.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
