Ja it would look nice,as long as that other S13 is going sideways through a corner at 160km/h lighting up some brand new 18" tyres.

The car is only coming back on Saturday, i havent ever driven it, and it definantly aint going to the drags... Its purpose built for drifting and thats it... the power figures talk for themselves...As i said, power is one thing, but only running it at 1.2 is another... I dont have to prove its quick, at 1 ton and about 500kw on the fly...you guys can work it out... Bottom line its like anything though...there is always someone thats got something to say....blah blah blah...you spent this, you did this, it took this long...... This to me is my ultimate sx... i believe it has everything i ever wanted in and out of one.... i think most of you guys would agree its pretty tight....wait till you see the other stuff i have for it.... Bottom line, its a full car, not just a high boost run of the mill.... i recon its just nice to have something in SA thats half as good as them crazy japs...What you recon???? :D

He he, you dont want to see me sideways, its a scary scary thing! granted ive been spending a few hours practicing every month, but I still suck at it :)

Besides its bad enough in a car with 250wkw, imagine 350wkw :( no thanks

dont stress dude - it took me months of practicing once a week!!! and what made it worse was that everyone else picked it up quickly!!! but now i'm alright at it!!! not confident enough to go tandem yet though, or anywhere near the big oval concrete wall either!!!

anything more than my meazly puny 90rwkw's (butt dyno) must make it much easier!!!

bruno - with his 199rwkw's makes it look like a piece of piss - so 350kw's must be easy!!!

i think easy is not the word... maybe once the driver knows what he's doing, rather then to use entry speed to compesate for power in the turn, there would now be more than enough to in theory, "make a mistake" and be able to correct it continue the angle or create more of one.... The possiblity of doing longer turns and so is mor4e possible, but the action is still in an under powered car, to try keep angle because of high entry speed... gonna be at wesbank tomorrow night just to check the car out...aint driven with the suspension and so on....cant wait

Hey guys... Heres a pic of a dyno reading i thought i should put up... As you know, or i think you know, i damaged teh head i got with the motor... The original head had had work done on it.. sergio worked further, but because of the way it was previously flowed, he was restricted... With the new stock head, thsi gave him the opportunity to make it perfect in his eyes and get the full potential out of the head....

Image

The above pic shows the different heads and the power they both made at the same boost - 0.8.... as you can see, "its all about the flow" hey hennie?
Anyway... this just shows you that theres power in the head for sure.... all the same parts, sizes, everythng...just headwork...and this was on an already worked head....stock is only gonna be worse....

Do you think the CA head has the same amount of power in it as the SR does?? What exactly did he do to the head??
