¿es todo? :D

I don't think that the domestic cars that the US has can compete with the overwhelming technology that the imports have. Not to criticize anything bad about Ford, but the quality of their cars are so unpredictible that it's hard for the car to be ever reliable. I hope that the new Mustang goes through good QC and QA.

Does the RSX have the same engine as the S2000? I notice that they both rev at the same RPM and pump out the same hp, but that was just a comparison.
 
the real question is could you tear up a turn or would hte turn tear up you and your car

cuda nad camaro are my all time fav american classics
 
me like 1969 shelby gt 500 or 1968 dodge charger RT hemi 440 :)

dont worry at least u guys in the us get the cars i bet we get less than u guys in the us
 
The MA63, is a 1983 Toyota Celica. My dad bought it for 60,000¥ (don't know what that is in USD, but it's nothing over here).

Wow, $400 USD, that's hella cheap for a car. Even the cheapest/crappiest Americans car that breaks down all the time cost $800 = 100,000 yen.

no, the s2000 and the RSX r not running the same engine, RSX=K20A2, S2000 pumps out 240 HP and the RSX only 200 i believe, RSX also has the "new" i-VTEC instead of the S2k's VTEC, the engines r very different, the new K series is only in the RSX and the new Civic
 
Well, it's 5:20ish AM and I did a lot of work on that engine. In the trunk there were some new parts my friend got when he picked up the car. TRD clutch and flywheel I installed around midnight, and I installed a new exhaust and intake manifolds, both made by TRD. This car is looking great, but my dad said that we will start the suspension settings on Monday...:( . I don't want to wait, but at least I can do some serious engine modifications by then.

you sound like some like of ricer wanna be. how could you be not know how to find a AE86 in the US? and how could you not know that the corolla gts is the us verision of the AE86? why would someone buy a rare car that they know nothing about?

Yeah, this was a long time ago, I doubt he's bought an AE86, and if he did, I hope he realizes it's not the car he thinks it is.

yes sad but true, i jsut wish we couldve gotten good TRD parts over here....i had plans 4 the IS 300 (Altezza) that i'll probably never get...... , but to cheer me up, another picture!!!!

I wouldn't bother. I heard the IS300 is weak. The Altezza coming out here in a few months... I'm not sure if news of this car hit the U.S. yet, but we're getting a twin turbo 6-cylinder with similar performance to TTE's (Toyota Team Europe) 4.3L VVTi V8 engine (found in the Soarer) that pushes out over 400 supercharged horsepower. If these car's hit the U.S. market (highly unlikely), it would be cool.

Wow, $400 USD, that's hella cheap for a car. Even the cheapest/crappiest Americans car that breaks down all the time cost $800 = 100,000 yen.

The reason it's so cheap, it's because it cannot be registered or licensed. The car was bought just for track use and that's basically it. I wish I could drive it on the streets because it's a sweet looking car for a 1983.

All this talk about imports (domestics for you) is making me about the fact that they are overpowered. The Corvette Z06 has 405hp for the same price as a 280ps Skyline GT-R. The new Viper, although I don't like the looks of it, pushes 500hp for the same price as a 280ps NSX-R. The new Mustang GT pushes 390hp for the same price as a... I don't know what the car costs so I can't compare it. I'd take a Z06 though. Since American V8's are so easy to work on, I think I could make that car more of a beast that it already is. But I haven't tried, nor will I ever try.

Do you get HSV's? We don't, but some people import them from Austrailia. They use the same engine as a Corvette I think, the 5.7L LS1? I did some work for a friend of a friend on his HSV (nothing crazy) and it was simple. Comparing that engine to a VTEC or a VVTi where a computer controls the timing at certain RPMs, the engine seems simple enough to do serious modifications to it. Now I'm wondering if that's why there're so many GM and Ford modifiying companies out there in the States.

-Tom
 
Not really, these are just things that my manager tells me to prepare myself for. We are definately getting the twin turbo Altezza, but we're not sure on the IS430 from TTE due to it being a European designed car.

My dad said that we're going to start on the suspension Monday and the brakes on next Monday, it's 4:20PM on Saturday. So I've been working on the engine just to give it some more power. I've done all I can right now until more parts come in. I hope he plans on making a drift setup so I can finely tune the settings on my car. I'm still wondering how my dad got it so cheap. Even without a title, this car should go for something like 300,000¥ in the condition that it's in. But my dad can come up with some amazing things with his "connections." I'll keep you guys posted on the progress when I start working on the suspension. I'm going to do something, so I'll be on later.

I was looking at some of you guys drifting in GT3. What kind of PC/PS2 hardware will you need to make it a video? I want to show what I can do in GT3, GTC, Drift King, Touge 3, Battle Gear 2, and Kaido Battle. What will I need?

-Tom

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I don't know where to look.
 
uh, either a video card that had a tv tuner, or just a stand alone tv tuner, all u have to do is hook ur tv to ur comp and record away
 
I have a card with a TV tuner, but until today I never knew how to use it. Can I use Windows Movie Maker? And will a Radeon 9800 work good? I'll most likely make very high quality videos, so if you're on dialup...

-Tom
 
i believe so, damn u, i only have a radeon 9000, no $$, and yeah u could use WMM, i dunno what other ppl use, but thats should work if u can get it hooked up, ive never done it so i wouldnt know
 
Well since you have 9800 all you need to do is to plug the composite video cables into the connector and you're all set for recording. WMM is fine but it's not very stable (for me at least)

I'm all for Touge 3 videoes.
 
Yeah it's a great game... especially driving Tsuchiya's AE86. Kaido Battle is alright, it just sucked at the beginning. Battle Gear 2 is awesome once you get the Trueno Mecha Tune (Group A). Drift Champ I don't like, but I'm good at it. And we all know about GT3/GTC... I'll try the videos whenever I get bored. My best friend and I can pull off amazing twin drifts in GT3, so I'll try that one out first.

dude i did a freaking aids walk thing today... 10km... but we parked far and it was like 10 miles lol... and it was hot... in the city with only a visor... jeans and a t shirt... sweatin bad... but not tooo bad... sure it was hotter in the south bay... tho... went back to union city and i was burning up...
 
I'm burning up right now sitting in my chair in a house with no air conditioning .... I wish I was :nervous: :)

I just got interested in the Subaru WRX STi engine. What are the advantages and the disads about the flat four?
 
its a boxer engine right... right and left movements cancel eachother out... so less vibrations from it and less wear... than on a reg one... sorry not much more time to post gotta go... if no one else says anything i will be back on later... dunno much about he new one... dun think its much diff than old rs engine... know more about older engine
 
Damn, fix your A/C...

Advantages of a boxer engine... let me think now...

It's planted at a lower height, similar to a rotary engine which is allows for increased aerodynamics. The way it's layed out, it helps balance the car's overall weight distribution. In the boxer engine, the pistons are placed in horizontally. This helps to rid of vibrations. Since the boxer is compact and has low center of gravity, this increases handling stability. All of this creates an engine that is smooth, responsive, and less engine wear.

lol you know what... i think the best thing to do is dl some specs thing from the australian web site... i found it very informative... go to subaru worldwide... click on aus... and then look for a specs sheet.. it should be avaiable in a dl able form... and viewable in pdf format... it talks about subie suspension... engine... turbine... brakes... abs... go find its its like 20 pages long... i htink its only for STi tho... well i just went to the site and i cant find what i dled like 12 months ago or maybe it was closer to 8 or 6... but goodluck finding it its the bomb...
 
i thought it was EJ25 i could be wrong... but that is the name for hte old rs engine and that is the engine that is used in the STI... the reg wrx still has the 2 litre and is the ej20... but you know what i dun think there is much difference between the two other than the litre... oh yeah and if you wanna find out about hte engine there are some good site about he rs on the web... search ej25... but it might not help much cause no turbo on them... i will look...k...
