i was hoping he would see this.

i remember him saying it was 30kg's heavier than a CA18det.

so i've removed my aircon, and if i remove my ABS i will get another 15kg's at least.

so if i removed about 50kg's from the engine bay, and i replace it with 30kg's, i then have a net weight loss of 20kg's.

and i also have 200rwkw's without a turbo, and loads of torque, and a sexy v8 sound in a little, although heavy, sportscar!

schweet!

it can be nissayota!!!!

You sold your S14 for what was it R63k and now you are going to send half of that money on cressida. Rather wait on buy a cheap S13 for R35-R40, its at least a far better car to drift with.

dude

if you get a cressida, then you HAVE to do either one of the following:

1. drift taxi - paint it black and yellow, and put a taxi sign on the roof.

2. drift police - paint it black and white, and put red and blue police lights on the roof!!!

with either one you will need lots of signage.

it will be legendary!!!!

exactly!

i've been wanting to do this for ages.

now you have the opportunity. and if you make it a taxi, then you can use the car off the track, and after hours, to earn you bucks for mods!!!!

Do a taxi Do a taxi Do a taxi. problem is you need to paint it yellow for it to really look like a taxi and that costs $$$.

I think a cop car will be so super cool.
