that car reminds me of 2fast2furious for some odd reason oh well good car just mis-used.. i bet that girl wants to purr under my legs.......

He asked what a "boost cooler" was. It sounds like a device that would spray the intercooler with a cold substance to chill the intake charge making the air more dense. The denser the air the more fuel that can be burned which makes more power.

aside from that "9-second racing sticker", the shifter knob, and the way the guages are mounted... that car is tighter than yours. and yours. and you!..ya yours and mine. so shut the hell up

DocTaDrifT · 02-01-2005, 11:40 AM

damn that sounds like some good breaking power

1.) The nitrous ones are normally visble on the front of the IC
2.) I don't see anywhere on that page mentioning a boost cooler

If it wasn't for the graphics, the front bumper and the fact that it's a carpet queen. I'd love it!

s14slide · 02-01-2005, 01:22 PM

a little OT, but

a couple of things I noticed. 700hp is claimed w/ such and such twin turbo system, but............

now I'm not saying that it's not impossible w/ it, but he still has the stock intake tubes on there. If I was making 700hp out of 2.5L, I think I'd have something nicer, even for a bolt-on powered show car.

The other thing is that w/ all that power, he's still using a VLSD, at least I assume that's what he's using cause he doesn't specify an aftermarket piece, but does mention that it is a diff for his chassis. I don't think I've ever heard of ANY vlsd ever holding onto 700hp or anywhere near that amount of power.

Right i'd love a ugly, rb26dett showcar with an ugly bodykit, poorer weight distrabution, stupid gauges, and an open diff (maybe VLSD but not after 1 launch).

Call me crazy but i'll be happier building my KAT Zenki before i would roll that thing.

OK..it's still tighter than your car. so..umm. yeah.

s14slide · 02-01-2005, 02:53 PM

I wouldn't mind getting that thing if the price was right, but I'd add some of the things that would make the car actually capable, then actually tune the suspension and change the aero. 700hp calls for 50mil wide body in the back, wide fendas up front, stuff as much rubber as possible under both ends, 1.5way, toss the raunchy wheel and nob, reduce the gauge cluster(fuck) on the dash, and put in a cage. Be one helluva street bruiser. Also definately need a solenoid activated valve so you can dump wastegate at someones window in a quick sprint.

sepulchral · 02-02-2005, 07:00 AM

icantdriveyet · 02-02-2005, 10:33 PM

All your replys have been rather opinionated, but my personal opnion is, it owns preatty much anything eles here, and sure its not "hardcore" 240sx, but hey.. its a beast.
