I had a full car load and it was about the 3rd week i had my car and 4 sets of lights in a row we took each other on (level up until about mid-2nd where i kept going hard and he literally stood still). He was trying so hard in the end that he musta let the clutch out too quickly and the hole front end bunny hopped and he launched off the seat and nearly over the handle bars. The next set of lights he congradulated me on a smooth car and turned off a side street.

was it a postie bike??

I've had my ass kicked a few times, but only by other imports, never by a Commonwhore, except at the drags. I find it very off-putting at the drags when you line up against an RX3 and when the last orange lights up you see them wheel stand from the launch and by the time you getting into 3rd they have already finished. I get owned alot at the drags, but not by Strichnine.

See'ya:burnout:

i've never been munched .. except for my friends 180... thats cause i usually never race anything i know i can't beat ... better to be safe then sorry hahaha ... i beat a motorbike yesterday LOL ... but it wasn't anything flashy ... i love beating them SS ... these days whenever i stop at a light with an SS they dont' bother anymore ... maybe cause they know how good a skyline is these days ..

Not really... I tend not to race any more, particularly now I've got my button clutch (it's bloody impossible to launch). I did have a run with a mate's S6 twin turbo RX7 the other night, let's just say we were both very surprised at how it went :(

On the bike I'm yet to be beaten from the lights... but then I haven't raced anyone either, not properly at least, so you could say it's a perfect record :P It doesn't really start to go until second gear anyway, and if you're right up it, that doesn't start until around 120. Tall gearing rocks :D

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
