funny incident..

Was cruising with my mate last night in his TT Soarer. Pull up to a set of lights on leach highway, and a 'glowing' wrx pulls up next to us. He had neon light instrument cluster (which was literally glowing outside the car!), what looked to be neon light surrounding the exhaust!!? wtf?? plus glowing windscreen wipers and various stickers in and around his car. :)

anyway, he looked over at us and gave us the thumbs up, so i looked back over at him and gave him the thumbs down :D . He then wound his window down and said 'what was that for?!' i said 'why all the glowing lights, christmas isnt until a couple of months?'. he got a really confused look on his face and by this time the lights had gone green, so he went to nail it, and stalled it!! :) so my mate just floored the soarer and left his ricey ass for dead!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

two of my friends own wrx's with neons everywhere :D  

and if you check under the bonnet's they defenatly have the go`

the driver looked australian. caucasian with blonde (dyed?) hair. car was blue. looked like a MY98 or 97? well because he stalled it he didnt get to show us if it had any go.

puckish, yes i am a witness to TT soarer beating wrxs, my mate has raced 2 of them while i was in the car, and has beaten both, the closest was one which had aftermarket air intake mods (exhaust, pod etc..)

doesn't sound like my friends haha

they are both white wrx's ... :D

both car's perform nearly the same as stock.

so they should be a good fight, i've seen some gtst's blown away at the lights by soarer's.

it all depends on the driver i think, especially if its manual vs auto ...

manual has to take off properly or else he has no chance [i lost to my friends soarer once in my previous car, gts-t, coz i got too much wheel spin]

yeah he has yet to have a gtst give him a go? but i think he has only raced a couple. I never under estimate soarers the 1jz has some lethal potential if it has a manual box and traction control attached to it!!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
