hehe, I worked for Nissan for a short time, few months, but just around the time when 350Z was shown to few dealers and I had a chance to drive one. Than my work colleguy bought one a year later.

I was joggin the other day and the 206 WRC car drove by - never seen it before, and it had a full Marlboro 2003 livery on it. It seemed like a replica (1 - Marlboro doesn't sponsor privateers and 2 - it didn't sound like one and had no rollcage). But it was a damn good replica, I'm sure ed'dy saw that car too. Even though it was probably nothing close to the awesom 206 WRC, I'd say it was one superb replica (of course with flared arches and wide track).

I'm in pennsylvania and you wouldnt think you'd see too many nice rides. Sure there are a few REAL ugly and old civics and integras, but there's some very nice eclipses and several s-10s. there's a 99 probe around that is ugly as sin but its no show-ALL go; that thing must have passed me on this back route goin like 130mph. I was clipping along @ 95 in my Cel GT-S.

In the UK, it doesn't seem as bigger thing than everywhere else. I occasionally see a tuned supra, but never eclipses, skylines or such. At school, all of the 6th form (A level students) have cars, there is 1 tuned 206 and a few 106 and other small cars (insurance is high for younger people). Loads of people have tuned bikes and they meet up and race along a local road which is one of the best rides in the UK!

Ahhh. Street bikes. Now that's for real men. (just like Hockey is for men, and Football isn't, lol)

BurnBoy · Post by **BurnBoy** » 08 Jun 2004, 22:07

Football is a men's sport!!! And ice hockey is really tough, broken noses and stuff! Anyway, I agree with the bikes.

On my way home this week, saw an E46 M3 racing a yamaha R1...he didnt look like he thought it was a mans sport. The M3 was nearly touching his back wheel, he must have been pretty scared

Besides, they look like power rangers

BurnBoy · Post by **BurnBoy** » 13 Jun 2004, 12:30

Power Rangers suck nowadays, but when I was a wee lad I used to watch them all the time! I had all the megazords and stuff. But Grez, since when have bikers looked like the pink ranger?

Hey, Ive seen a few bikers that looked gayer than the pink one...

bronco · Post by **bronco** » 14 Jun 2004, 07:24

yo grez how fast did yer rx7 do before u sold it and how fast does yer supra do?... just a rough estimate on horsepower and speed....thanks mate:D

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Jun 2004, 19:03

RX7: 452bhp, 1/4 mile 12.1 seconds (cant remember the terminal velocity, ill have a look for the timeslip tonight). Fastest I ever went in her was 140mph, racing an Ultima. At a guess Id say she would have maxxed out about 170-5mph. 60 was ridiculously quick, at a guess id say around 4 seconds, probably just over.

Supra: Getting it dyno'd hopefully this weekend, should be putting out between 360 and 380bhp, will more once the stuff Ive just ordered is installed, and the ECU is remapped. Both the Japanese and Toyota limiters have been removed, so she'll run an unrestricted 170mph. 60 in around 4.9 secs. Fastest Ive been in this one is also 140mph, racing a 911 on the motorway.

And, no problem mate

grez...waht a bad guy

someone can tell me? skyline is only for import in all europe or there is a country where it's sell "normally"? I'd like to view one, never had it in front of my eyes

Drewb99 · Post by **Drewb99** » 14 Jun 2004, 23:20

Skylines are JDM only, and the GTR34's production ended in 2002 with the Nur. However, the Infiniti G35 is sold in Japan as the Skyline GT-8, those are proabably as close as you'll get.

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 14 Jun 2004, 23:52

ViperJay - Try looking for import dealers in your area, there should be one with a skyline of some decription

BurnBoy · Post by **BurnBoy** » 15 Jun 2004, 18:37

I just saw a skyline, in the flesh (well, metal actually), it went around the round-a-bout and went into the bp garage. It was gold with a black roof and a nice looking kit, it looked like a newer skyline (like from 2F-2F). Anyway, thought I'd let you know. Does anyone know it if it possible to buy a bodykit for a Ford Focus?? And where?

BurnBoy

UrQuattro · Post by **UrQuattro** » 15 Jun 2004, 19:02

Try searching for Focus WRC style bodykits, the 03 Focus WRC has a very nice front bumper. But this is a long shot.

For the more down to earth, look for RS Focus kits, they must be around from a number of manufacturers, since RS is the top Focus at the moment (and a good one at that!)...

RE: why Hockey is for real men, and footbal isn't - it's based on the length of shorts that hockey players wear...

BurnBoy · Post by **BurnBoy** » 16 Jun 2004, 19:33

Hey UrQ, about the shorts thing, what about sumo wrestling in Asia, they wear somthing that looks a bit like a towel wrapped around their groin, and yet they are well strong and tough. I wouldn't want to meet one of them down a dark alley! Anyway, isn't that thing to do with honour, I really am not sure, but I know they are tough guys.

Boxers wear shorts and they have all sorts of cuts and bruises all over from where they have been in tough fights.

That was a joke, treat it as a joke m8, if you got the meaning of it! Not as smth serious!

Okay m8, sorry for being so serious. It was funny though.

OlovesD · Post by **OlovesD** » 27 Jun 2004, 00:24

it's just a thought, but don't you guys agree that, once that old rebuilt cars are present in many real life tunning scenes around the world, it would be nice to have them in the game too. they could be style rewards...

Grez~Supra_RZ-S · Post by **Grez~Supra_RZ-S** » 27 Jun 2004, 17:29

Depends, i wouldnt mind seeing some old datsun 240z's in the game, if thats what you mean

Speed818 · Post by **Speed818** » 27 Jun 2004, 17:54

Unfortunately, ther is no such thing as tuning here, it is just stock, or rice, enough rice here to feed an army too

There's one Supra here, bone stock, sometimes a Miata goes down the street, and once I have seen a red NSX. I have seen an RX-7 before (the kind in NFSU) that had pimpin type rims and a fart can, I hated it. And NEVER once have I seen a skyline.

PerryMason95 · Post by **PerryMason95** » 27 Jun 2004, 20:14

The other day when I was walking home from town at about 2am with some mates, i saw a R33 Skyline - jet black, black window tint, gold rims. True cliche, but looked good never the less.

Today I saw a black NSX - it had what looked like the new Veilside kit (this one http://www.nemesisperformance.net/exclusive.php). It was firetruck beautiful.

It's weird, all the decent cars round here are black - can't understand it.

Sparks_101 · Post by **Sparks_101** » 27 Jun 2004, 20:59

In my town we have 1 nice cuda and thats all lol. But when I wen't to city I seen 3 old school cars and 1 new school.

It looked so sweat oh and that one time I seen the car the green eclipse from fast & furious.
