I may not be able to go now :D I'm on call that week unless I can swap with some one, I may not even make it as a spectator. I definalty won't be racing as my cooler probably won't be arrived let alone fitted. Hey shauno I'll get Gracie to take the White atmo VL down and maybe you'll have a chance :( Maybe she can have a go against your civic .......ahem *cough* ... I mean prelude... :lol:

What i want to know is who is going to be running at the drags on the 25th of January. I me FWDDRIFTKING is bringing the hondie down, and hopefully big bro will have the atmo turbo siliva ready with new injectors and fuel pump. But is ricknismo going down to punish the GTR that is the main point cause that i have to see. I missed the Street Machines GTR effort cause i had to work.

Also down at the Drags last time when Ricknismo raced was a 1972 ford escort with a VR4 mitsi. motor in it. It managed to pull a 12.6 at 109mph on 16inch street rubber and a open wheeler diff pretty impressive stuff. The car was build by a Mech. engineer in Bundy who went throught uni with my old man. He has a 11 sec series III rx7. And if that aint fast enough for him he also has a 11.0 @ 122 MPH XC falcon with a 460 c.i big block with his own fuel injection system that he made from a wolf 3D. This guys is nut, he just has a pure need for speed

I am in for the 23 of feb(i think that is the right date??)

I hope that big VL monster is going to be there....

I need some number plates too.... I was still thinking 51IDA... which says slida.... don't know anymore crazy cool sugesstions....

Hey rick it's tops to see your skyline down there.... your not scared that is for sure.... I finally am in the process of getting my injectors and then it is bosch motorsports fuel pump and I am on my way.... all the way to the drags that is.... tops!!!

hey nismos car is running better mile an hour but slower times... those diff gears really really suck.... you just can't pedal it off the line... but I was pretty happy with the times.... it's what I expected.... it ran a best of 14.4 on High Boost - Nismo driving

and 14.6 standard boost with me driving....

it was fun anyway... and it didn't spit a turo this time... that was a good thing....

another question for all you tech heads to search up.... i'm not knocking anyone or anything.... however the big and little richo were up nismo about running no exhaust other than the dump pipe... they claimed that it burnt out valves.... has anyone ever heard of this?! it sounds sus to me but I haven't played turbo's for that long.... all I know is engines are heat pumps... air/fuel in then air/fuel out as fast as you can....

so in my opinion dumping the exhaust will only add performance not burn out valves..... makes the car easier to drive to cause with a nasty V8 beside you you just can't hear what your doing in a turbo car.... it really sucks when you *ahem* accellerate quickly to the speed limit beside a noisy V8 or worse still a mongrel rotory... you just can't judge what's going on properly....

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
