i think you might be wrong about the lsd part, unless one has been swaped in.

does the guy realize that you dont simply bolt in a 20b? it has to have a standalone EMS, bigger fuel pump, custom downpipe, etc... and the list goes on and on and on. is the car an NA? have you even seen the car? this kid sounds like a guy in know. he got a 2nd gen auto supra turbo and told everyone it was a 5 speed. then said he took it to the dyno and it made 280 at the wheels stock (yet they only have 230 flywheel stock and this car has 150k on original turbo and engine) then to top it off he wrecked it and told everyone that it would be out of service for a while since he was putting a big turbo on it. the car hasnt moved at the body shop in over 6 months because once he started to fix it he started driving it again and blew the head gasket!

hahaha liers crack me up haha!!!

I had a blast today. Thinking i was going to be late, i was actually on time. Staying the entire duration of the meet was neat. I had fun meeting some new faces and hanging out with old ones. I am bummed out about hitting that pothole and bending my rim. oh well, ill just get the GT-R wheels now. lol. But it was definetely fun. Oh, Danny and I rule. point blank... murder she wrote. Lisa and Minda, thanks for the dinner @ your house. It was great and hanging out watching the "drafting" movie was nice on that comfortable *** couch. Later guys, hope you enjoy the pics.

Well I made it back home.
The meet was quite an experience (again)

My brother is going to edit the video that I made of it all.

I got video of me sliding into the guard-rail, and the camera falling back on some corners, but no flames.
The last part of the video was good because I finally got the camera in a locked position. And everyone was in front, so I got better footage of us going through the curves.
I did the quick shots of the cars and scenery cause I wanted to save the battery power for the driving, which did run out anyway.
I need to get one of those 1000hr-of-footage-power battery's.

Columbia meet next.
Maybe ill have my other rx7 running by then, and take that to the meet.
But whatever.

Later.

Yes, Me, my GTU, and the guard rail (on a left hand almost 180 degree curve), have met.

If you've seen me drive in the mtn's, you know that on some curves I like to get the back end of the 7 loose. But on this one occasion I slid into the guard rail.

Dented and scraped the back corner bumper and behind the gas door, and crack the blinker light.

Also It occurred to me today that I might have an under-steer problem.

understeer is when the front end pushes not when the back end swings out, thats oversteer.

No Really! OMG, Thanks for that text book answer. (sarcastic tone)

I'm not really referring to the guard rail incident.
Remembering my drive through the mtn. I've noticed on some turns "the car pushes."
