I like Audi's... aren't almost all of them AWD?

 

That really is an excellent tip that I've never heard or even entertained the idea of.

 

But... for Azert, he'd have to turn right... right?

 

 

I wonder what the dyno numbers match up to be between a stock 4G63T and an SR20DET... they're both 2.0L turbo engines.

I've always been a fan of the 300zx as well... this guy told me the other day that you can take any

rear wheel drive nissan engine and put it in any other rear wheel drive nissan car....

 

Werd. This is the future of car modification. Look at the sr20det above, almost direct swap. Along with all the other kids puting the 80's datsun l28et and 90's twin turbos in their z's. Although almost anything can fit in a z.

The kids doing sr20 and rb swaps into their 240sx's have it... The vq engine is in both the z and the infinity g35, also I believe it is in their maxima and the new nissan quest(although not rwd).

Its all about engine swapping, its not really practical to make huge modifications to a small 4 banger when you can easily fit in a 3.5 Litre in there for less and have the option to modify your car even more.

I get excited about shit like this. Its just like old hot rodders who did some crazy engine swaps...evolution.

 

Who used to post those sweet ass bikes up on here, was it TTBoy, or boogie? I remember they used to pull up some sweet as fuck bikes on this site.

those older 240's apparently are capable of fitting a corvette V8 into them. seems the motor mounts match somehow and the drivetrain is easy to fit into the 240 chasis. i had vids of a superchg'd 240 ripping shit up but i can't locate any of them on my HD.

Gahh these are everywhere on base. I'm sick of people who have a stock fairlady think they're fast just because it's a nissan. But there are a couple really nice ones. And I've found that it is usually true to say that fairlady owners have nice taste in rims. The new fairladys or 300z are ideal for drifiting. But I've only seen a couple nice personally owned new ones.

That's pretty crazy... I dunno if I'd want that much power in a little car though.

Maybe that's why I'm such an AWD fanatic, because awd can put most all of the HP to the ground....

without squirrelin out everywhere. Now I realise that, yes, in some applications there is so much

HP that you can do awd burnouts, but for the most part it's easy to just launch on people.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love a fast car no matter how it got that way.

Red Smoke Drift Vid.

 

KUMHO debuts red smoke tire for drifting competition

 

FONTANA, CA … May 6, 2005… In the last few years, KUMHO Tire has achieved a number of firsts: the first company to make a 26-inch light truck tire; the first company to produce a 28-inch light truck tire; a class win in the company’s first race in the American Le Mans Series. And now, KUMHO has another first: a tire that produces red smoke. This special version of KUMHO’s ECSTA MX ultra high performance street tire--dubbed the ECSTA MX-C--will make its public debut with Enjuku Racing at the Formula Drift event at Road Atlanta on May 6 and 7.

 

Enjuku tested the MX-C for the first time the week of April 18, and it literally left the team’s members speechless. “When we saw the red smoke boiling off the rear tires, we just stood there and stared in awe,” said Enjuku lead driver and team captain Matt Vassallo. “I think people will be blown away when they see this.”

 

The ECSTA MX-C was developed at the KUMHO Technical Center in Akron, OH. “At a product meeting here late last summer, several people were talking about the sport of drifting,” said Guy Edington, manager of the Technical Center. “While watching a drifting video, someone opined that it would be cool if the tire smoke coming off the cars was colored.”

 

From there the idea blossomed, and Jim Palombo, KUMHO’s senior product chemist, and Gary Bradnick, lead lab technologist, set about looking for a way to make colored smoke. They developed the right mix of chemicals and now have a patent pending for their colorful compound (they’ve also developed a compound that produces blue tire smoke). Following successful testing, KUMHO produced a limited number of the tires.

 

“We don’t intend to sell the ECSTA MX-C to the general public,” said KUMHO brand director Rick Brennan. “We built them to demonstrate our forward thinking, technical capabilities and ability to respond quickly to the market. Like our race-winning ALMS tire, the MX-C was developed in a very short time—about six months. And like our 26-inch and 28-inch light truck tires, the MX-C gets attention by charting new territory that no other tire company even thought about entering.”

 

Enjuku’s Vassallo agrees. “ With the car show market and drifting scene ever-expanding in the U.S., the constant effort to make your vehicle stand out in the crowd is the ultimate goal,” he said. “KUMHO has upped the ante with the ECSTA MX-C.”
