Oh noes! Running a bit short on cash or something?
I never thought much of the MkIV before, but we had one in the workshop the other day and it was very nice I'd say it's one of my favourites now too.race_invader wrote:My Favorite car at the moment is a 1998 Toyota Supra Turbo have no idea though it just looks sexy to me

Cylinder 1: 0PSI
Cylinder 2: 80PSI
Cylinder 3: 80PSI
Cylinder 4: 70PSI
It should have been 180PSI across the board. Basically, we think the timing was off, ALL the inlet valves were dead and the head-gasket was partially perished. It needed a rebuild, and I didnt have the time (needed a working car for my brothers wedding in the lakes...). I got a decent amount of money for her, and used the proceeds to buy myself a daily driver/part time track car.
Me trying to figre out how my new stereo works...
Have to admit, its nicer to drive than the SX, it just has no power. At all.

Since I don't remember posting in this thread:
1. McLaren SLR 722
2. Porsche Carerra GT
and a more unusual car (originally built just round the corner from where I live however, due to space constraints in our small country market town, they've unfortunately had to move to Basingstoke ):
Caparo T1 (0-60MPH 2.5 secs)

It's supposed to be blurry, it shows speed. That and I put my jump drive through the washer by accident. And yes, the skyline is my favorite car.race_invader wrote:Is that your fav car or are you going way off topic again?Carcrazy wrote:Now the Skyline... and Always the Skyline

That was Freestream's (the company's original name) original idea - to make a car as close to the F1 experience as possible that is road legal! It is even possible to buy it without the glass canopy (even more F1 like)xHaZxMaTx wrote:Woah, that's like a street-legal F1 car.
Oh, and it weighs in at 1,000 BHP/ton...

Contrary to popular belief, it didn't actually go around the Nürburgring in the fastest time for a production car. Though that is taking the meaning of "production car" a little far.Tuners Rock wrote:i changed from a Nissan Skyline GTR R34 to a Nissan Skyline V-Spec NUR

True, and the Ariel Atom has an added bonus - it pulled Jeremy Clarkson's face into absolutely hilarious contortions when he drove it around the Top Gear test trackboganbusman wrote:The Ariel Atom achieves the same acceleration with 'only' 600bhp/ton, and at a fraction of the cost
If you haven't seen that episode of Top Gear, I'm sure it must be available on YouTube somewhere...
