yeah they can be nippy. You should try a genuine ( engine dyno) 690bhp. That was just mental.

Was it Wez's one Charlie?

I had a go in a 455bhp (Flywheel) 6spd it was bloody fast but felt very inert IYKWIM? No drama. (mind you I wouldn't want a lot at those speeds)

If you want a laugh, try driving a similarly powerful single turbo Skyline GTR in the snow when the cable happens to pop out of the 4wd controller. (Think super laggy turbo and all power to the rear.)

Nearly span on the M25 in a straight line. yikes

I've a 1JZ with 440bhp at the wheels - its quite quick hehe They make an awesome noise especially with external wastegate biggrin


Also have a 2JZ in my Aristo, stock standard but by god is it a fast car for something so uber stealth/boring looking. If it does'nt sell it'll be a getting a GT40r conversion some time soon.

Weren't you converting the Aristo to a 5-speed manual?

What's up with your mates?

I can't say the box bothers me, I've just never gelled with the car like I did with the MR2.
ah god knows mate.
its a fine car, just he said the same as you. never 'gelled' with it.
just spent a load on it respraying the bumpers as well.
funny enough he regrets selling the Rev 3
