seriously, yeah if u watch TNN, theres a show called super2nr tv, which has a buncha white guys talkin about imports, and using such "hip" lingo as tight, sweet, and niceeeeee, its so retarded, anywho, the hot version best motoring is pretty good, i have the one where the 2 AE's race the R34 GT-R, and i have the super car race with all the lambos and stuff, and the japansese car race witht eh NSX, RX-7,EVOs,and the Skylines, hopefully import culture will catch on, not in a 2 fast 2 furious way, but really, ppl need more appreciation for drifting and such, but its america, its a friggin meltin pot of cultures

Nice AE86's. What's it say on the side? Twin Cam 16?
BTW I play LFS too, although I haven't had a lot of time to really get into it yet. Made one autocross course, still working on getting credits for the turbo RWD car.

Anyways, I went to the dyno last night and got some OK results. Out of three runs, I'll put what my average power is.
Power: 209ps @ 8900rpm (not bad, was hoping for more)
Torque: 24.5kgm @ 6800rpm (higher than I expected)
My best friend got better results.
Power: 252ps @ 9100rpm (I hate him now, doesn't matter because I always beat him)
Torque: 29.7kgm @ 7400rpm (really high, great for uphill)
But I realized that he spent a lot more money on his engine than I did. If you know about Formula Atlantic, then you will understand that to build that engine, costs more than my regular AE-101 4A-GE. So this made me come to the conclusion that I want the TRD Group A engine. If I start working for TRD, I have a better chance of getting this engine, but it'll cost me around 2,300,000 - 2,500,000¥ with connections for it (****load of money).
But those are my results, and I'm happy with it. Power isn't everything, but I can never turn down more power. I'll ask my dad if I should use more power, but I know he will say no. Oh yeah, I asked my dad if he would go for the last time, and he said sure. I was so happy, then he said, "I'll ride with you." You guys have no idea how bad I want to know about his engine, but he's just like that...

Did MADBOOST Find A Trueno YET????
Wow, those are good numbers for a Trueno compared to some of the AE86s that I know. What mods did you put on your engine?
What's the currency exchange from ¥ to US$? It sounds like a lot, but I guess if you put your heart to it, you can get it. Especially with your dad by your side
Fathers. You're lucky to have someone so committed into what you are so interested in. Congrats

I will list all the parts in my engine from my website as soon as I get some time to think about it. I'll tell you one thing. Everything in my engine, is made by TRD. Nothing else. That's why everything works so good, and I get a smooth engine that revvs all the way up to 9800rpm. With some work, I can make my engine revv to 11,000rpm just like the Group A. But that will be useless without more power. My best friend's Levin is all Formula Atlantic. If you look it up on TRD's webpage, you will see the list of parts and the price of the parts. I got them all for about 1/2 off.
It's about $20,000USD for the engine. Like I said, I will need some serious connections to even find this engine. Since TRD has to build the parts (nobody has these parts on back-order) when I want to buy them. But if I get on Best Motoring, I will definately get the engine. But that will never happen...
Yeah my dad's life is based on racing. He can make any car go fast, and that's why he picked the AE86. He knew from day 1, that it's light, has a great engine that comes from the factory, great weight balance, and RWD. Then he got all "suicidal" and got the fresh 3S-GTE. When he got it, it looked like a crate motor (never used). I asked if I was going to work on it, and he told me as nicely as possible that it was a big hell no. So he worked on it, closed garage, and locked his garage up so I wouldn't check it out. We have a 3 car garage, but it's separated. So it's like having your own individual garage. But he's happy that I'm happy and he's the reason that I got my job.
Yeah he stopped answering before I even got on this thread. I hope he got one, and I hope he's unhappy with it.

Until then, I'm looking up to you.
Haha, it will, soon enough. If you continue to be the best, then you'll be the first Italian person to be on Best Motoring $20,000USD?!?! Well, since you're a hardcore racer, it's worth it How long do those engines usually last?
That's good. The experience you went through made you a good person, and that's why your dad loves you. So far, it seems like you and your dad are a team that has been through the good and bad times and learn through those bad times and I admire that. Keep up the good work
