Reading the latest version of evo I thought to myself Vector rings a bell.

Anyway here are the specs;

- 10 litre twin-supercharged v8

- 1850 hp = 1425 kw

- 1700 lb ft = 2305 nm

- Est top speed inxs of 440kmh

- Cost, a mere US$400,000

Looks ok, definitely tough.

imagine sitting at the lights next to....anything really.

i want one.

anyway i just thought I would show this as it is leaps and bounds above everything else i have seen.

looks like a NSX rear mixed with a 98 Camaro front wearing Supra headlights.

Been a while since they announced it though. like 2 years.

the styling 'revisions' just get more and more wacky

this was the high point i reckon (this was back when Atari pwned the console market :) )

yup, with you on that one brother. I can picture myself cruising along in that thing listening to some a-ha, take on me, or perhaps some nik kershaw as I'm on the way to my board meeting at compu global hyper mega net.

ahh, why can't I go back to the 80s?

while at a party, do you ever wonder why no one wants to talk to you?

i converse with many a party goer. cheers

LULZ!

you definately wouldn't find any tech company with 'net' in the name to be on the board of back in the 80's

The R35 and veyron were many a year in the making. I hope this one goes ahead. Assuming structural integrity and quality engineering and build, I would have thought $400,000 US to be a bargain.

Does anyone know whether the Joss (spelling?) is making it to production, haven't heard anything for a while.

Ah well, if 300ZX lights are good enough for Lamborghini to wear, then I'm sure Supra lights are good enough for Vector. Plus they'd already be DOT approved and tested etc so good to sell globally.

well we were very cutting edge back then. think cut com, or slash co. we also wore very, very thin ties.

what can I say? except:

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
