a quote from a guy who went for a ride with mase and my S

' Just went for a ride in it...I'm still shaking from fear! I think my spleen came loose.'

then mase posted this

'haha, and to quote robert.... "This is the fastest F'ing thing I've ever been in" and this was after he took a ride in the mid 500 whp turbo nsx. haha

lol. the RHD was running quite well w/ the cooler weather yesterday.

and to those who've been waiting/hoping it was going to pop. It just wont. lol.gif

New motor will be completely assembled in the next few days...'

I thought it would make a few of u smile

I saw that vid in the Florida forum yesterday I think, bloody mentalist.

You planning on putting any traction control on that beast once it's done ?

Any reason why the turbo is positioned sideways ?

no plans on putting t/c on it, i have read many things about it good and bad, so who knows. we are panning on running different boost levels in each gear but at the moment it is not tuned like it

the turbo is positioned like that just because of the design on the manifold

the street clips are running at only 15psi to haha

well speaking with him last nite, about the issues of traction with him, and also his mate robert mailed me a few times to say its freaking quick but its spinning up in almost every gear haha

i said to mase about the idea he said about having different boost settings on each gear and he said that should help, but when i decide to run high boost will need drag radials

i have heard that some of the supra guys have had issuse with the race logic t/c with the more powerfull supras so i dont now if thats the way to go

oh and while he was street tunning it an M5 wanted a play, and well it was dust, more giant killing to come lol

Let me be one of the many to add my admiration to the beast!
Just don't take it out on a wet, muddy road
Oh, and keep a tab on the prices - this could be the best way for any of us to upgrade to a more powerful car...
