Mazda 3 are awesome - mates girlfriend just bought a new one.... and ran a 15.6 at the plex at drag combat...

Thats pretty dam good - oh and thats bog stock.

Do you know the engine capacity on the car that ran the 15.6? Was it 2.3litre?

we have a 2.3l mazda6 and a late 98 protege 1.8l and i reckon the protege goes harder

revs to 6.5k all the time n its reliable as fcuk

ive heard of one driving for 800kms without the radiator cap on n it finally blew a head gasket - was in summer too

was the only case of this happening that ive heard of

but still not as fast as the skyline but thats not always what everyone wants

hehe yeah mel its fun

i get scared drifting in my skyline sometimes, but in the 323 its just fun

prob cos its a front wheel drive but oh well

the 1.8L has a fair bit of torque too

in the wet i can have the wheels spinning for 100-150m down the road in 3rd gear, almost 4th

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
