That would be like entering a corner like a GT2 and exiting like a Turbo. How cool would that be?
That's exactly what makes me so into them.. I mean why can't we have some of that! I would love to go in as a Gt2 and out like a TT. Of course with my skillz, I'd go in like a TT and come out like a GT2 *** backwards...

hahaha, too funny... but monkeytronic will save the day! As will the ability to downshift without upsetting the balance of the car.

ok, i guess i'd better get to bed now.

Holy crap guys take a breath! Hamman I only had one launch in the quarter mile and it wasn't the best. Your car was the bomb in the quarter mile and you know I have been giving you props!

But just wait until we meet again! No doubt my quarter mile will be deep into the 10's! And I do like the twisty stuff remember me taking you around the track???

Love ya man!

Heya Buddy. For sure as I said with a good launch you would be in the 10s. Deep.

Yup, no doubt.

The ride around the track was fun. I'm glad you have mastered the technique of putting the 996 Turbo in a 4-wheel drift. That was pretty cool.

I wish I had an opportunity to take you canyon slamming in our local mountains. You would have liked that too...

Can't wait to meet again... My car might be set up a bit differently too.

Skylines

I'm a few posts late, but someone mentioned Skylines, so here's a couple of pictures of my old Skylines.

My R34 GTR, with a lot of mods......





Compare to my 993 RS 3.8



My mechanic with the intercooler.



Oh and the engine, a billlet 2.8ltr conversion, with a single Greddy T88, that made 600bhp @ four wheels at 1.0bar and ran a max of 1.8bar.



It was quick enough as my street car!

My other Skyline

It was a 'drag' R32, which ran two GT 3037S turbos and made 1015bhp at the wheels at 2.3bar.



They have both been sold though, I got bored of the turbo lag on the R34 and the low reliability when running engine at 300bhp+ per litre. The drag R32 was sold to the garage that looked after it since running a car like this is such a major grind and expense and it gets through engines real quick (imagine how stressed a 2.6 liter engine is running 1000+ bhp).

To end it on a porsche note, here's a photo of my GT2 with my best mates GT2 (both in my garage).

Hijacking bastards..

I got a couple of PM's about the throttle body, which I have to say isn't yet completed so I'll have to let Kevin fill you in on the project. When it's done it'll work for any 996TT.

I know that he was originally going to mate a 996NA TB to the current set up with a back plate adapter but you'll have to ask him because I think he is going to do something different now.

Oh and more more gratuitous wing shot:

I've gotta agree with you on this one! I thought black would be just too much maintenance...however, washing the car is not a chore, but a good way for me to unwind and relax.

There isnt anything more prettier than a freshly washed (swirl free) Black Car!

I saw a silver TT with an aerokit today and thought man that thing looks sexy.. But for me black is just mean. It's hard to clean but it's the same to drive
