Blugin Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 you mean a Holden Monaro GTS right lol not to ignite any rivalry but it's a shame you guys don't get the Ford Falcon FPV series in the states or europe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haha, yah, I was gonna mention the most important one, but I figured since this was a UK based board and all... Actually, if it was a straight GM USA product, it'd be pure ###### I'm afraid. I only buy imports and this qualifies for sure. I'd have gotten a F6 Typhoon in a heartbeat. Those cars are just sick and I love turbo cars. It's kinda wierd that they can make a badass straight six turbo in AUS but they don't have even a variant in any US models... I don't know about the blue calipers though. I found a bookstore that imports Street Machine (Austrailian muscle car mag) and it's pretty sweet. There's an F6 in the back of one called the DriF6 driven by some famous Austrailian driver I've never heard of that's nuts. I have love for Aus. Half of my family is from there 2 generations ago. I figure, if I ever leave the states to live, I'd probably go there. Great culture, great cars, less B.S... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prosoto Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I'm gonna show you how we do this old school. The rims have since been replaced by stock GTS rims after an unfortunate rendezvous with a curb. Thankfully I didn't mess up my suspension...just my pretty Volk rims : And this is my dumbass going sideways. No it's not photoshopped. I'm just an idiot like that. You gotta learn somewhere (see below). You think I did ^that^ without practicing first?! That's a good way to get killed and be remembered as a complete idiot rather than a speed obsessed maniac .

Fizzy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 The Tureno (Corolla in the UK) makes a great drift car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prosoto Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Trueno. The Corolla GTS is essentially the same car with different bumpers and a few other differences (right hand drive for instance). They drift just as well with properly set up suspension and gearing though . Edited November 16, 2006 by prosoto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the cleaner Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 its supposed to be just a little heavier than the sedan model, but id have to say, bugeyes are the best besides the gc models <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A little heavier and the rear suspension is not as tight because of the cargo area/lift hatch. . .it's lacking the rear support pillar because of no enclosed trunk.

My friend was racing his 86 against his boss' 91 Carerra on the freeway on-ramp. . my friend's 86 was doing 92 mph on a really tight curve. . the Porsche was only doing 68 mph and just couldn't keep up. . . driver or car?

prosoto Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Umm...I love you too? Please unless you want me going on a tirade do NOT mention the cartoon. And you know which one I'm talking about. That's not why I bought this car. I bought it because I have an '83 Corolla SR5 that I have decided to garage. It was my first car and I want to keep it in good condition because I finally finished the restoration. It was time for a new project and I wanted to stick with what I knew. So I figured I'd step up and go to the AE86. Still get's awesome gas mileage and is fun to drive. But I'm gonna stop my rant now before it gets out of hand. I agree. Toyota needs to unsuck their US cars. Scion must die. The Celica needs to be a man's car again (4WD) instead of the 16-year-old girl starter car that they tend to be now. The Supra needs to come back. And don't get me started on the new Corollas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Initial D and high prices for DeLoreans just made me love the car more. Of course, there's not a single SR5 for sale on the entire east coast. I'd have to get an SR5 because manual transmissions in the Metro-DC area are hell. I'll probably get an RWD Volvo, like a 240 or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Sparkle Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 had my silvia on the dyno the other day made 200hp at the wheels before it started wheel spinning. which is a hell of alot better than the 90hp at the wheels that it made on the old engine. here is the corrected graph, note the dip in power where the wheel spinning starts. at this point on the un corrected graph it started to look like bart simpsons haircut. here is the graph http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/Mr_...pg?t=1164082158 also here are some photos of mum and dads cars: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/Mr_...pg?t=1164510658 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/Mr_...pg?t=1164510929 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a204/Mr_...pg?t=1164511090 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
