"Would you like to see a spotlight on it?" WTF Dino, like, YES. Is it fun having your girlfriend scream your name in bed even when you're not doing anything to her, and she's doing it all herself? YES.
@Can_Domo_Drift Dry ice for removing sound deadening and such. Yes, Sean's beard might look rock 'n roll, but I'm sure he's more than sensible to not have to smoke up his car a'la rock show. That's why we close the windows and chamber. :)
Everything looks so great, but something about that clean, mid-2000's, one color clean body drift car look that still has a spot in my heart. DRIFT FOCUSED POST THIS YEAR, PLEASE. (And thank you, lol.)
Hey, I know it was like, last year, but does anyone remember that picture of Miki Taka after the rain?How did that not win photo of the year for 2011?
@Glubags I must say, I also have I-Type-Like-A-God-When-I'm-Drunk-itis.
My friends are always impressed I can type well when I'm drunk, but it's really a curse. I can't call someone a "dirty c-word" when I'm drunk cause they always think I'm serious about it. Sad life.
Anyway, cheers, that was really well written for being drunk, lol.
Actually, if you look behind the PanSpeed RX8, (the yellow one,) you can see the PanSpeed RX7 parked right behind it, lol.
I know, I really had to look for one, haha.
@majik16106 LOL, you always have the best responses.
Larry... I don't know. Something about smoke and bowls with you... LOL.
@speedhunters_dino @Absolution @HighPerformanceTrucks.com So theoretically, the BR-Z and other cars can also go paddles if they do whatever the SLS does?Meh, Politics.
@HighPerformanceTrucks.com That's what I thought. Touching back into the BR-Z article you did, Dino, you did state the reason why the it had the big stick in the middle was because it wasn't allowed to have electronically shifted transmissions, which is what the SLS here has. Any insight as to why this car might have been given an exemption?
Speedhunters, WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG. I've been waiting for this feature for a hot minute.
Funny, I sat around with my friends tonight talking about this. While we talked about engine swaps, the pattern seemed to be RB26/13B/SR20/2JZ + anything was instant win, but an LSx into anything, (which, sorry guys, is pretty good) is ridiculous. We all know the parameters, the benefits, but this is the "religious"-style debate among cars where the rules of religion apply here; "do what you do, but stay out of my business" kind-of-deals.
Honestly, if it makes sense to you, do so with the means that you have to do it and don't let anyone tell you different. I'd like to see anyone walk up to Matt Powers or Joon Maeng and tell them how bad their cars perform or how little sense dropping the lightweight V8 into a lightweight chassis is. But no, we drop in a "bulletproof" iron-block xJZ motor, throw off the weight balance and blow it with 900 hp, suddenly we've got a higher quality build than the LS.
If this seems like it's running off on random tangents, my bad, lol. I'm just still really hyped that my friends wouldn't listen to reason.
@majik16106 Oh my god. I just about died of laughter when I read this.
@sean klingelhoefer Sean, please know, I WILL SAVOR THIS MOMENT FOR ALL ETERNITY. Mostly because I know I'll never be as good as a photographer as you. And the high's gone. Now I'm sad. I'm done savoring. Crap.
Paddy, I'm sure you meant the Ka-sworth?
Paddy, we had this talk last year: Have you not yet found an RS8?!
@MattClarke "Ask any racer, any real racer. Winning's winning." I'm sorry, I had to, lol.
Bowl? Smoke?I see what you did there, LOL.
So yeah, I pretty much died of laughter when I got to the burnout pictures.
