Re: R888 or R1R tyre choice opinions
R888r I just them on big improvement over the r888. R888r noise is much better it's like a normal road tyre unlike the r888. Dry grip is unbelievable you will know as soon as you use the brakes Wet grip is as good as any budget tyre... I havnt tried any other semi slick tyre so can't comment on the ...

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35
Got to say the Stage 4 GTR is the fastest accelerating car I've ever seen on track. Got to ask C35Rob, what would you want to see in this thread? Just a bit of a pointless comparison isn't it... Like the old Saab adverts "faster than a Porsche 911!!"* *In 4th gear, between 4250 and 4500rp...

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35
I know the gtr is really bad in the rain on tight corners but i thought the mr2 would be worse... you make it look so easy.

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35
Thought i'd add another video. Here's how fast a stage 4 gtr is!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxMXQuPUO7s I can see what you mean brakes and handling make the real difference and your killing him in the corners but gtr power kills you in the straights away... nice driving you look like a pro...

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35
You can see the gtr driver was a novice... vs tune Mr2 with semi slick and a good driver there only so much a car can do.
gtr is like a bicycle with stabilisers wheels
And
A mr2 turbo tuned is like a bicycle with a helmet

Re: Best carbon fibre bonnet
In the rain the Mr2 having a light front will make it more prone to even more oversteer Adjusting suspension will help but isn't really gonna solve the issue. For a race car a big front spoiler or lip would solve it just like in f1 but for a road car that not really legal and only works properly at ...

Dry carbon panels (painted to match the car) = performance mod Carbon skinned glass fibre panels = for show :eye: Carbon can save weight but how much do you have to buy before you lose 50kg in total on the car which only equals 0.1 of a second off your 1/4mile... it will defo make a difference if t...

Re: Best carbon fibre bonnet
I wouldn't bother with Carbon parts... they never last even if they fit well which they never do. Unless you Are getting 50kg off the car from this there's no point. I got alot on my evo x and it's just cracks peels fades etc... if u bump it ur in a world of pain. Even the evo x oem carbon part suff...

Re: Best clutch for bigger power
Os giken seem to be the best overall... I have a carbonetic clutch maybe abit OTT considering the power it can holdt its quite noisey and exspensive but I love it...

Re: Rev 4 caldina swap q?
Very hard to believe a turbo that spools at 2700rpm and goes all the way to 6500rpm. Not saying your lying, just seems to me like a fat ballerina :lol: Having your cake and eating it. I thought the whole point of a big power turbo was that it spooled later. Yours some could argue spools better than...

Re: Rev 4 caldina swap q?
Im sure you can crack the block but its the strongest out of all the 3sgte engines and has the best head.
The question is what other choices do you have... thats cheap with all the advantages of the rev 4 engine...?
