heh yeah don't the FWD drag guys need to chock up their rear suspension or something so it's rock hard just to keep the fronts on the deck?

i was talking about the probably-terrifying levels of torque steer you'd get if you stuffed lots of evo power into a floppy FWD lancer chassis too... ;)

i'll stick to RWD or AWD thanks....

Like shyster suggested... 1990 - 1992 Toyota Cressida (MX83) with 1JZ conversion... its been done oh so many times in australia/nz, but you would so fly under the radar.

you can then take it a step further and fit a JZX81 Chaser (or even Mark II) bodykit to it (which should fit with minimal changes)...

I'm definitely on the Cressida bandwagon. One of the guys at work has one(stocker), and I always look at it and think hmmm....

But then I've always wanted a Honda City Turbo, after I got annihilated at the lights by one in my Liberty. Also of course the Nissan March Super-Turbo, Mira Turbo etc.

Grab a cheap used intercooler or one of the cheap Chinese ones, front mout it, and then swap your scooped bonnet with someone else who wants it for one that is normal, for the stealth look. An decent exhaust should cost f-all, same with a bleed valve. They are so light, you'd chop so many cars that didn't ecpect it.

Speaking of front wheel drives

Maybe a Suzuki GTI with an avo turbo kit on it

Avo has kits for same thing for Honda civics’, Rav 4's and mx-5's I think

“80%” power boost “with appropriate exhaust modifications”- or something like that!

Kit only about $5k or less and car should be about $5k as well.

10k sleeper

went like a cat with deep heat on its balls.

Rofl :lol:

I got a mate who pulled that trick on a few people.

Then he got curious.

idiot.

and he drives a skyline. I guess they are all crazy.

and on the FWD topic, what about a 70s model civic (they still exist)? put the blower off a 1JZ (?) on it (~$250 + fittings). Fit some proper rubber and some tie down bars. And hang on

the best ive seen is my mates brothers vw combi lowered, tinted windows, black paintwork, with a leyland p76 engine. it stood the van up at the line and ran faster than most if not all v8 fords and holdens

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
