[REVLIMIT]

Finally I see some footage of Ross drifting in that RP FD

[Wayne]

haha no worries, right now FD's are hard to find. When you find em, the avg price is $10k. Not many newbie drifters are going to put that much into a stock car.

ahahah i did, got the fd 3 years before my license, bought it with my christmas money. 500 bucks for a rolling chassis. built it up for 3 years and got it all done up finally, i was actually getting a body kit and rims recently, but fire took the car from me, damn you fire damn you to hell. hopefully ill be able to get another one, but for now its all about 240s. dont mean to be joining the "bandwagon" but i need something i can build up on and ive driven in a few sr20 240s and it was true luv, plus theyve got mafs so you can actually raise the boost, lets give boost a cheer you guys. starting dec, coming to a forum near you. rated pg-13, some naked car panels and other suggestive thems will be shown, no one under 13 permitted wihtout a parent

but ya again i give props to ross, maybe i can show him how to do it right one of these days if you guys need a driver shout me a holla ahahha peace. p.s. you got any specs im intrested in what its got get back at me peaceee

about the grip video thing, send them an email. Before they were doing a search for video features, they were asking for footage of drifting skills. their email is gripvideo@gripvideo.com

as for parts...i know it's pretty much a stock motor. It's putting out almost 300hp. Nothing really trick, just careful tuning, and careful attention to cooling. Turbo i believe is a t6. It's running off a Haltech computer. Kei Office coil overs, tanabe sway, strut bars. Kaaz LSD, Veilside kit, guages, and exhaust. Everything is bolt on. Reliability was the key factor in building this car. Which it has been. Everyone knocks the reliability of the rx7's...but i've seen a lot more of the 240sx breaking parts this season. The only issue we've had was losing a gear, but why you need reverse anyway???

You mean you want a stock 240 coupe, unless you live in japan or aussie land or wherever the hell they sell silvias


Anyway, leave the FC alone, bitches......its a horrible car,so slow, can't handle for *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*, the rotary is a POS that can't handle more than 7 psi of boost and it always breaks down ......Instead, buy my '91 240 hatch(its not a coupe but BUY IT *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* )..............(so i can go buy a t2 )

Lookn Good!! I'm still trippn that Ross was able to transition from his 240 to that FD that fast and still kick it out that nice. Good stuff Ross!! I heard that someone is addicted to rotaries now ..... hehehehe

I believe the turbo is a GT35R. There is no such thing as a T6, unless you mean a T60-1 or 60-2. I was told they are using a .82 A/R turbine housing which is only offered with the new Garrett GT style turbo's (T4's came with .81 A/R collected and .84 A/R divided turbine housings)... that is, if anyone was curious about the turbo... lol

[swifty949]

The Garett has yet to go onto the car. I know it's a small turbo though. I'm terrible with turbo sizing.
