I daily drove mine for about 8-9 months when I first got it. Left me stranded once because the fuel pump died. Other than that I never had any significant issues that would keep the car from making it to where I was going.

I ended up getting a daily for the exact same reasons lwnslw mentioned.

 

I believe It Was The White One. The Losing Driver Said Something About Bad Syncros In Their Tranny

 

I think it was me, when i rev my car to almost 9,000 RPM, the 4th gear synchro grinds a bit, giving me a bit of a delay when getting into 4th when i rev that high. By that time we were neck to neck then he gained on me...

By the way i only lost to him by half a car, and on the other 2 races rolling in 1st gear he had a hard time catching up until the end of 3rd gear, and that's not a 400 rwhp car like he claims, knowing that Lexus is 1,000 lbs. heavier than an FD, he's gotta have way more than 400rwhp to be pulling like that...

It was fun though lol...

 

It is a single turbo 2jz lol, I have seen the owner on another forum, not sure his hp though. I have bad 2nd and 3rd gear syncros, it sucks!

 

Should have taken it to Pinguino Racing for consultation and work from the get go. You might have still had it..

 

+2 on that when I get an FD that's where I'm going !

Also 9/10 it's the owners f@@king up the rotaries, don't push your mistakes on it!

 

It was a single Turbo 1JZ making 425@20psi Ican vouch for him cause I was there when he was being tuned

 

Yea I think It was you cause he was telling me that you were revving to Infiniti lol Rotary Powa!!!

 

JT has 415HP.... if that heavy *** SC pulled him by a car and a half it definitely has more power... The power to weight ratio is way off compared to our FD's to pull that much...


L8R

 

Ahh thought it was a swapped 2j or 1.5j, didn't know it had the 1j.

 

Ehh, i felt it had some issues with it not being a factory 5spd. It had many kinks to work out. But we all kno at that time in my life i diddent have the bred to blow. So got me the RSX and kept it simple till i got stable.

Reality is im might just have to hold off a bit unless i find one i cant miss out on.

^^This is true but in my case, i never did beat on the car and never raced it. Everything went wrong when my ecu fried, then having to run a stock ecu with all those mods.

 

But Youre Also Missing The Fact, That his 1J makes Torque very Close To His HP Level, And his SC has a Tall Rear End, In Other Words If JT Would Of Ran Him Longer The Outcome Would Of Been In His Favor.

 

It was a very fun race, i'd like to run him again. 1st gear roll seems like we would go neck to neck all the way to top end, he had a little hard time catching up after 3rd... he only pulled on me by half a car and he knows that! =P Ask him about that 1st gear take off we did lol... and i had a passenger with me, he was alone in his car. =)

I'm only at 13 PSI, i want to turn up my boost and see what happens, but not doing it for now...

His car surely is fast!

Still looking for FD wheels! hehe...

I meant to say he got me by a car not half a car.

 

Nice find, thanks!

 

I always had 7s for DDs and the only thing they sucked was gas. the damn gas prices were the only thing that stopped me from keeping them on the go.

I ended up getting one of dem econoboxes to rack up the miles

 

I Can Set It Up For You No Problem, Yea He Told Me He Was Having Traction Problems From The Lower Gears.

 

I am going to the track tomorrow unless it is raining.

 

I've Noticed That Its Been Raining On Fridays For Some Strange Reason

 

There seems to be a bubble over the track and it's always raining around the track but not on it..

 

Looks like my wife is trying to make me change my plans ><, gonna try to get out of it.

 

K i am going got out of her plans.

 

Looks like you will be alone....

 

better stick with the wife.
