A Preview of Matt Powers Formula D 2011 Rebuild - Page 5 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

mad-ass · 03-21-2011, 06:36 AM

I actually have a lot more to say about why LSx swap is better then your typical KA-T/SR/VQ swap.

1 thing that's getting me so pumped up for my own LS swap is 6spd, easy 350+hp[stock ls1], and 30+mpg if driven like a normal car on highway. nothing like going 70MPH in 6th gear at 1700~2000RPM!

Darren · 03-21-2011, 08:08 AM

I'm always amazed at how much bickering there is on Zilvia threads.

That said, there is always 10000 x more info in them then other boards.

There is an advantage to free speech!

<3 you guys ... no homo

This is so fucking stupid. You should be a real man and drift a MKIII Supra with an NA 4GE, thats real, man.

OBEEWON · 03-21-2011, 10:13 AM

V'8's are cool.

It's just not cool to have a car high enough to stack babies under.

This thread is like a mirror image of broadfields thread............. Stop crying u little fuckers.

fckillerbee · 03-21-2011, 03:04 PM

yeah matt...we know 500 horses isn't a lot. Its kinda bullshit that it's not. I mean shit...400whp at any track at willow is gangster! but you need 500 just to drift irwindale the right way. GOOD LUCK MATT! We want to see some test videos!

reading this thread is like being in the bizarro world

its 2011, i didnt think anyone cared about drifting anymore. what is it, is it like a sport now?

i forgot.... the playstation kids grew up haha

WISH ONE · 03-22-2011, 02:21 PM

Im super happy for him!
I still remember his old s14 when it was still in facotry paint, super low and driven on the FWY all the way up to WSIR from SD.
He has come a long F'n way, Im stoked for him and stoked for his new car.
He is doing what he loves, more power to him.

I like how people actually think that Matt Powers gives a flying fuck about how you feel about his car.
"Matt blah blah blah, v8 blah blah blah, sucks blah blah blah"
All you can go eat a dick

Def · 03-22-2011, 08:19 PM

He sure does have a lot of guys on his jock - that's for sure!!!

Sorry but D1NZ is also following suit with the American's just not using LS engines really, many of the RB/Rotary drivers are pushing into the territory of 400rwkw+.

Australia would probarbly be the only place where the Average competitive drift car sits around the 300rwkw mark, if not less at times.. Altho we dont have a Country Wide Series to really brag and say 'were doing it with less power'

Ontopic!

Best of luck Mr.Powers, Are there any other PBM products that car will still be running in the 2011 season?

*DALAZ_68* · 03-23-2011, 01:35 AM

why ohh why didnt his parents name him Max... ohh why cruel world!?

fckillerbee · 03-23-2011, 11:45 AM

I think this thread is ready for some kittens....anyone want to start the party off? I know castro loves cats! lol

and I know matt loves cats....bwahahahaha.

Slammed Assassin · 03-23-2011, 12:33 PM

All I can say is matt is a Sexy BEAST!! No homo!!

good luck this season!!

OBEEWON · 03-23-2011, 12:35 PM

He is growing a mullet as we speak.

codyace · 03-23-2011, 01:42 PM

OH Zilvia, where people who can't afford basic parts for their car as it is, yet criticize those looking to optimize their setup. Ironic to a point. When this much money is involved, 'keeping it grassroots' doesn't pay the bills.

OBEEWON · 03-23-2011, 03:47 PM

Its the American way.

adamvann3 · 03-23-2011, 07:33 PM

Not sure how taking advantage of opportunity is selling out. Props for taking it to the next level.

Spherical bearing blocks, someone actually make/sell these? Looking to apply to a different application but the block seems like a way stronger design then the cylinder.

Def · 03-23-2011, 08:21 PM

No point in welding 5 lbs of steel into your LCAs. That joint really isn't that highly stressed beyond what a simple cylinder + multiple plane gusset would provide.

Again a different application where 5lbs is not going to matter either way. Thanks for your opinion.

2000gtx · 03-25-2011, 01:43 PM

so he was uncompetive with a ka24turbo...but now he will win because he switched to a v8?..all this hype, he still has to drive and qaulify for the events...but apparently a v8 swap, some tight jeans, and your a pro drifter now...wow i need in on this too easy....

Z33dori · 03-25-2011, 01:46 PM

i mean he qualified for most of the events and even made Top16 atleast half of the season
