6G Celicas Forums

I got emailed for thread update... *drool*

Please OReO and others keep updating

Yeah I'd just like to dig this post up from the grave and point out that aggressive 'I am better than all of you so I'm always right' posts like the ones kwanz made are what have made me stop visiting the site. Dude I have raced bikes, cars and carts since I was 12 - actually let me complete that list for you.

50 & 100cc carts
125 & 250cc motocross
4 wheel 250cc bikes (banshees)
VL/VK commodores (v8 rwd)
Speed cars, Sprint cars (shared a seat for 1 season)

I don't by any means think this is a big list... but it is a lot bigger than some people here, and I do have real race experience, I'm not some wannabe ricer like you automatically label everyone. Admittedly theres no FWD vehicles on that list... all I've done is take my celi around the local track and watched lots of road and rally races on TV.

I never once said you could drift a FWD. If you look over my earlier posts you will see I was bashing those who said ya could, and said that 'feint-drifting' if that's what you want to call it was the closest to drifting you can get in a FWD - which it is. You need to take your oily little finger out your arse and listen to what others have to say once in a while - you never know it might make you a better person.

So in summary, **** YOU.

I was thinking the same thing (I got nuthin ) but when you think that most of the people here are under 20 years old and have celis... well I guess it's fair to say most of them still live at home and with rich families.

You can get maybe 25-50k more miles out of a good aftermarket clutch setup, depending on how you drive. I dunno if you're doing the swap yourself or how long you're keeping the car but considering the labour for clutch work it might be worth upgrading.

The links broken now, but I can't believe they used a NSX! Finding a totalled one would be pretty difficult and those things cost a fortune... not to mention it's probably the best, or at least the most balanced road registerable race car of all time ...

For the love of god, why?

I'm at least half-geek I'm sure, but I do not comprehend why!

Is that....

....Samwise Gamgee???

I voted **** off, but only cos I'm bored

LOL Was just lurkin reading this, best answer ever

Unbalancing the car to swing the rear end out on a FWD car is a proven technique and has been used by FWD rally drivers for decades, end of story. I didn't say it was drifting (hell no), I just said it's the closest to drifting you are going to get with a FWD.

I don't have any video handy, but Tiff Needell (that british chump) did a very good demonstration of this move on Top Gear.

I could for sure be wrong, but I'm almost 100% sure that people have run their 3s' with the stock hood temporarily with no problems. If you look closely, you will see that it is not flush, the IC is still a bit below the hood.

Edit.. So has anyone actually identified what engine it "is"?

lol dude sometimes you are so funny you actually make me laugh But yeah I hear ya.

I haven't zoomed the pic but you can get a good cut like that by duct/gaffa taping top and bottom and doing a slow wet cut.

Looks kinda ... ok. I dunno what do you guys think?

It's not even a powerslide it's pulling a handbrakey on gravel and spinning your car.


The only way you can "drift" in a FWD is to unbalance the car by quickly turning the wrong direction to the turn to swing the back out. Real race drivers use this move for hairpins and tight chicanes

Yeah it will also depend on the car.... if it is obviously modded it will be a target.

I really don't mean to freak you out buddy just a heads up

It's just you

Something I've wanted to do for a long time is cut and bend a fullbody aluminium undertray for downforce.

Don't see that too much.


btw I still like the painted wheels

Coustoe just a warning... if you get cheap shipping your car will most likely be COMPLETELY STRIPPED... even with expensive shipping containers they usually get stuff stolen, I have friends who import to Australia and there is always something missing like wheels, BOV, shifter, momo wheels etc.

Most of the ****s who work on the docks will tear through that stuff


Edit:

Gotta love it from a supposedly multicultural country huh.

M5 POWER!

Are you sure u hit 220k's in a unmodded GT that sounds like an exaggeration to me?

Dog would you recallibrate the guage or just extend it?

Yea buy the TRD shifter it's nice!

Probably. Leaving it on might give 5% more drag than taking it off, and that means you would need more power to hit the same top speed.

Heads up.

Submitted a 'VS2 Style' Sideskirt the other day still hasn't been added guys

tufy you can get a REALLY nice looking JDM 300km gauge. Edit... erm... like the one in your avatar

260 is pretty nice. Actually that is awesome I have not been that fast in a 4cyl before.

Dude that is the most obvious list I have ever read in my whole life (except for the cops being 'crocked' if you're black or white)

Dude that is ****ing awesome... mad props.

Hey go easy those are ok welds... there are just a lot of them


How are you gonna do the CF piping? Lay it around a mock pipe or something?
