the radness of this RB20 speaks to me

Literally the only thing I don't shudder at in this engine bay is the rocker and valley covers being painted

So bummed a ride with a certain pulsar at Sandown today.

It's a damn overgrown gokart.

hurting a little on the straights but damn so much fun through corners.

suddenly understand hot hatch attraction.

[Count Grantleyish]

You buy a hot hatchback Martin?

[emts]

nope think another turbo pulsar on these forums

i was just a lowly passenger

[Count Grantleyish]

Yes, I know what you're talking about but are you buying a hot hatchback sometime in future?

[emts]

been thinking about a GTi for a little while

need to repalce Katies Mazda.

short list:

Mazda6

Golf GTI

RR evoke

X1

[Count Grantleyish]

Does it have to be auto or doesn't matter?

[emts]

Auto/DSG, 4 doors, bit of cargo space.

no audi.

and as I'm going to drive occasionally, not a sponge cake to drive.

and as I'm going to drive occasionally, not a sponge cake to drive.

But what about a cupcake?

I've driven a mazda 3 a few times, and my mum's got a mazda 6 hatch... the 6 is very spongy, so much body roll it is scary... and for a car that large, you'd think that it should be able to overtake a car doing 90 in a 100 zone even when carrying 3 passengers, but it just does not accelerate at all when you want/need it to at those speeds.

I fkn love cupcakes...as you would have realized after seeing me!

mmm red velvet cupcakes.

yeah the new one is meant o be an improvement in ride.

that said it's prob last on the list. but does have a lot of fruit for the price..

That ain't a rb20, Looks like a gtr engine.

[Miguelone]

It has a 20/25 rear timing cover and a tiny single turbo, I'm guessing it's just a 20 with 26 covers and adapter plates for the 26 cold side. It also looks like absolute shit and I don't see things going well for that CAS loom being so close to both the aux belt and the timing belt

Say no to X1, money better spent on evoque other than BMWs optional a list.

GTI always seemed a decent buy, but everyone has one... but same with Mazda 3.

Glad you had fun in the car. look forward to upsetting BMWs, subarus and evo's soon. 160kw just doesn't cut it

[PENGUYEN]

Are ur gears short leeroy? Or they like the rwd sr20's?

How much your car weigh?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Crashed into a pedestrian in amusing circumstances (the guy is ok so I don't feel bad)

so in your professional opinion, dead is considered "ok" is it Dr Samartgis?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

That's how the engine produces the torque to move the car

Minister of anti RB20 propaganda... I reckon you and Brisby will get in a punch-on oneday

Literally the only thing I don't shudder at in this engine bay is the rocker and valley covers being painted

so RB26 ITB's retrofitted to a 20 does nothing for you? or gate through bonnet?

you idiot...

[Leroy Peterson]

yeah they're close ratio.

want to get it weighed, just waiting on friend to receive keys to access vicroads weigh bridges. but i reckon 50-100kg heavier than stock so mebe 1200kg?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

so power/weight of a ~185rwkw evo/R chassis (not gtr) which is decent

Wasn't aware Rb26 rocker covers would fit on a rb20. Also appears to be running gtr injectors too.
