[DrifterX]

Guess who'z back, lol...

[Ginja Ninja]

n16 SSS pulsar came the sr16....but sr20s are more common i read....butt ugly imo but cheap.

there is no such thing as a n16 SSS and the sr16ve was only produced in limited numbers for a couple of sunny models back in 95' 96'

altho the asians do get the 2.0L option for the n16 which is the QR20 (awesome engine)

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Maybe he meant N15?

No buddy you got your years wrong, the models used for drifting and what i have is a 86 model.. thats where you get hatchi-roku (hatchi=8, roku=6) if you dont have your facts straight then dont try and talk sh!t...

LOLz, no offence mate, but i think unlike everyother contributor to this forum, u take Initial D to seriously.

If im not wrong, i believe that the car toyta 86 sprinter comes from the japanese street racing cartoon Inital D, which is about the use of street skill over the power of a car.

Now dont get me wrong, im not a person who considers every detail in specs on a car like alot of you, however im very interested in reading the comments from people like Nildo and More Boost1555.

But seriously lad, im almost certain this topic would be alot more indepth without people like you corrupting it with Movies and Cartoons



Ive heard many rumours about the R35 GTR that have mainly been based upon the late Nissan 350z, and using its engine twin turbo'ed in a 35 chassi with 350z looks.

A rumour i dont think was mentioned here was that it may inherit the front of the 200sx (or 240sx i think it is called in america).

AHHA eitherway great car and looks promising, i do hope that holden and ford will step up their production to one day possibly compete with skyline in bathurst

Cbf editin too tired, thread to long and im tired

Acutally, bubba, the Toyota Corolla Sprinter/Trueno are real cars. We never got the Trueno/Sprinter here in the States, but we did get an SR5 or GT-S Version here. I'm not sure which of them, might have even been both. And in the right hands, a car with moderate power can beat a car with loads of power when it comes to racing, except drag racing. That (bracket style drag racing) takes consistancy.

the Trueno is stil the best drift car to get, rivaled only by Silvia, but if u check japanese D1, u actually se that a Trueno wins a national race now and then. to be such an old car, it's nice to see it kicks the ass out of newer models......guess Toyota did make one decent car atleast.....

**Supra isnt to be considdered a car....it's.....a monster... and only way to own one here is to be a freaking millionaire....the state takes like....2 times the car's price in tax alone, not to mention what u have to pay in insurance.....
and last but not forgotten, this country's god forsaken super high gas prices, as of today (04.08.05) the price for one Litre of 98 gas is 1.8 USD or 1.375 Euro...


u know what test plates for a car that dosent have plates is called here...

Supra-plates

and no kidding, thats the only plates iwe seen on a Supra here in Norway

[shadow]

wow! thats horrible. do you have any japanese performance cars in norway? it seems like such a shame if you don't, here in melbourne i see everything! lancer evo's, supras, GT-Rs etc. tell me you have at least one japanese performance car that won't put you out of a job to buy/insure/run

[Pliz]

No, no, we have a 2-door and a 3-door 240SX (aka 180SX). Yeah, they aren't bad, and another rare and good one is the SR16DE, a destroked SR20 that was put in some Pulsars.

Yes, the AE111 is Front Wheel Drive, but it's not what the Paseo was based on, from what I've read. I'm at school right now so I'll do a search when I get home and be sure, but as far I know, the Paseo is a different chassis. It didn't seem like it was that bad, either. A little slow off the line, obviously, but being light, it might be a good sleeper for a track car in the right hands. Only problem is I can't find many aftermarket parts for the Paseo, I'll do another seach on that as well to see if I can dig anything up on it.


EDIT: Ok, I've done some digging and have not only found some guys with turbo'd Paseos, but also found out that the chassis between the Corolla and the Paseo (along with the engines) are different. The Paseo chassis is the EL44 for 91-8/95 and EL54 for 8/95-97 both using the 5EFE engine. Interesting fact about the Paseo was that it was aimed as the replacement for the two-door/three-door Corollas. Found this image that was very interesting:



As you can see, it lists some Toyotas up to 1997. Also found this page dealing mostly with the AE102 Corolla chassis: http://www.corollaperformance.com/TechInfo/Index.html

anyone here ever heard of the toyota cynos?? looks awfully familiar to the paseo...

the skyline is going up against Evo and STi that weighs less than r34 so V-8 and Attessa- ets will only make it heavyer. an alumnum body will help keep the weigh down but it will make it cost more than an NSX. I say twin turbo V-6 for US. please nissan
