All cars have their strengths and weakness's. If hes going for all out drag then I'm sorry the Z will prevail in the end. Its true you can go fast with 4cyl, but if you put enough effort into a v6 v8 etc. You will have some unstoppable power. Lets not forget what evos and stis are really designed for. Rally. And that they are great at. Put a Z in a rally race it would get stomped the **** out. In the long run awd actually hurts. Hence why skyline ATTESA ETS is the ****. If hes into just going really fast for cheap on a 4 cyl. He should have gotten a neon SRT-4. Hate to say it, but its easy to get those stupid things to go fast. Its a touchy subject to alot of people. Who owns a better car. I work on them all. I like them all. Later I guess I'll have to send a car to race this guy. Maybe I'll have to send the flat black S2000. If he gets smoked by a v6 he'll say oh well it has 2 more cyl. The 4g is a great motor, but a turbo S engine stops all over it. Can't fight engineering.

People gotta understand. The reality is no car is the greatest. Some cars do just plain suck. If you think you can make a tercel go 8s, then I dunno, can I buy crack from you. Some of the evo guys are donkeys. My customer I'm gonna be installing a larger turbo and what not. They're telling him to methanal inject and run his stock turbo to 30psi. Hmm. Why should he do that so he can not pay attention to the methanal level and blow up, blow couplers off every other day cause hes running stupid amounts of boost. When we can put a bigger turbo, run less boost than even stock yet build double the power and do it only with pump gas.

Yeah that would be the best send a 4 to beat a 4. It's like a fist fight with a chick, no matter what your gonna look bad in the end. She wins your a puss you win you stomped all over a defensless girl. So what do you do you send a big busty hottie out to beat the **** out of her.

If you send a high HP Z/G out, its like punching her in the throat, kicking her in the box, then laughing at her as she's balled up on the ground gasping for air holding the goods. Yeah that never turns out well.

EDIT: this is for a v6 vs a I4

Default We need a contender..

Your're right sonic. Most everyone undrstands that there car's aren't superior to others, you can only go as fast as you can afford. This dude doesn't and what we really want is for someone to get his feelings hurt. His a cool guy but gets annoying when it comes talking about cars. My friends and I are interested in getting hold of that Black S2000.. if you can PM some more details it be great.

30psi is alot, but if done correctly is possible to have it without worries. You'll be using your wastegate to regulate boost and in addition to that you can use a BOV to aid in the same.

Man...I was surely closing on him when he has his Stillen SC. When he went with the PE...I was like WTF? There's no chance now. So I picked up the TN kit...I still havent installed it yet.

I think the only person capable of beating Ward was Tom. But, rim and tire choices hindered the car rather than help it.

So yeah Im at the airport here in Osaka and I use the toilet and take a wiz. So I go to flush and water goes away nice and simple. But curriosity gets the best of me. There is a little pannel with 5 buttons on it.

As one figures, I began to press them. The first one made this loud running water sound eminating from a speaker behind the toilet. Yeah that was loud in that enclosed stall. The next squirts a stream from the back clears the toilet and hit my leg. Yeah that sucks. Then I press another one with a picture of a woman leaning back. Pressed that one and the water shoots from the front doing and clears the back of the toilet.

At this point waters on my leg and on the wall so I figure I'm already wet so there is nothing left to loose. With 2 buttons left I press the 4th one. It had a picture of a woman on it and an arc comming from the front of the toilet and the back crossing under her. Yeah the previous 2 squirters activated again and do an "X" spraying me again as well as the wall again. There is a pretty sizable puddle at this point so I'm soaked from the knee's down.

The last button was just ominous, it had a symbol of a fountain looking thing that resembled the one on the Married With Children opening. The 2 jets front and back activate then 2 other hidden one activate doing a half moon sweep from left to right and right to left real quickly (must be for those who ate at the airport restuarant and got REAL messy).

In hind site I probably should not have done these test with the lid up I'll see if I can get pics before I leave. And 2nd hind site thought, Im a total tard for getting that bored and playing with the odd japanese toilets .

The loud running water sound is a cultural thing. A bunch of people were embarrassed when others could hear them going to the bathroom, so they would constantly flush the toilet to cover up the sounds. This wastes water, so the toilet owners countered by adding the water sound.

The water spray thing is a bidet for both genders.

I can only imagine the looks you got when you came out of the bathroom with your legs soaked.

Yeah Im full aware of the Bidet fact, and the loud rushing water fact (that was clear when I couldnt hear any thing else arround me). The thing that I guess you would say peaked my curriosity was the front, back , and married with children buttons.

Yeah I got strange looks but I was in the business lounge in cut off shorts, peircings, some funky necklace, sandels, and a Thai redbull shirt so I got funky looks before I went in.

ETIC = NFC (NO FUGGIN CLUE)

I have several breakins to do before I'm at max power First the eingine, then LSD, followed by clutch. Do I have a ways to go for break in. Then I have to eventualy get the BBK and bed the breaks in. So once every thing is up I still have a ways before I can start pumping power to the car.
