looks pretty cool. but since they are cutting current gen ones left to $499 I'd buy one of those. most likely to get a game or two free as well since they will want to clear them. the new one wont be discounted or bundled for a long time... and for people wanting to add a big HD and a new OS then you'd be better off buying a current fat one at the new $499 price.

lol, I remember when I sold my Jap first release, first day model for $1900!!

better off getting an xbox 360 :yes:

Yea definitely get a 360 with their 54% fail rate!!!

how can you say they are better with figures like that?

    • Finally have an update on this  Rack came in this week so I did a test fit. You do need the S chassis bushings since the rack is 5mm thinner than the R33 rack. The main issue I foresaw and ran into was one of the hardlines not lining up properly with there it's meant to on the rack. After some gentle coercing and bending very slightly, I managed to get it to fit without any kinks and keeping the hardline pretty much in all of the factory mounting positions. I did have to unbolt all of the soft mounts to move the line around so I could snake it out and bend it safely but it looks good to me for now. I'll update when the rack is fully bolted in and functioning.  
    • I hear this thread needs an update following its adventures last Wednesday!
    • What are you thinking makes a sequential shit to drive on the street? About the ONLY thing I can think of, is if you're wanting to be able to roll up to lights in third or second and pop it straight into neutral, or you want to come down two or three gears, say out of 5th and back to second, but they shift quick enough it doesn't really matter
    • I'm not a drag racing guy, but that was a good watch. Didn't Ibrahim's car have some cooch! But the big question is....WTF is with so many of them running without seatbelts!
