My Poor Poor Skyline

[chubs]

Im sure my car is going to hate me after this morning. Had the 33 for about a year and a half and decided its mothers day so what the hell. Mums been looking at buying a small sports car for herself (mx5 mainly).

So i thought i would let her drive the line for a while this morning. Well she hastn driven a manual in about 5 years apparently, needless to say clutch got rode a fair bit but at one point i just about shit bricks she was almost on the limiter riding the clutch, anybody else i would have screamed my head off but she was pretty nervous as it was.

The clutch smell was so bad took 5 mins to get out of the car. All seems good though i got her to swap back with me and took her for a spirited drive. really enjoyed herself.

anyways just thought i would vent that lil

It just proves you love your mum more than your car, and thats a good thing.

Im not sure your car does tho.

Happy Mother's Day: )

yeah man but still made my heart sink into my stomach hearing my baby screaming and whining like that was like nails on a chalk board.

Ive told mum when she buys her mx5 coz she wants a manual that i will have to re teach her how to drive one properly.

[scissored sil]

my mum wouldn't even be able to see over the steering wheel in the 32, so yours is still doin ok!

if she broke it she would pay...

[chubs]

unfortunately shes my mum and i owe her more than a clutch is worth Col. Ran out of work for bout 3 months i did try the whole u break my clutch you bought it thinkin of replacing with a heavy duty item but meh its mum and she enjoyed herself and i had fun scaring her afterwards (nothing illegal for those who may think it).

Told her she will have to come in the car when i start doing track days.

no idea mate found out the hard way though ill get 100kms once i hit the E line plus been driving like a lil old lady lately. dont really care how ive managed it but more kms the betta

[Damit]

lol i can go from about 300kms from a tank to 400km driving the same and by just adjusting my EBC from 14PSI to the lowest setting which is lower than the actuator so i drive around with the gate fully open all the time and get like no boost and if im trying and getting up around 6k i can just manage to get like 7psi

and if i drive like an old lady as well on low boost i can get up to 500km
