O.T

Yes, unfortunately there are a lot of haters needing Cialis prescriptions on vortex. They hate on each other more than anything. Mk4 vs everybody, 1.8t versus everybody, VR6 versus everybody, it's pretty annoying. I try not to mention that I actually own a Japanese car in addition to my european cars when I'm on there.

lol! I suppose that would be akin to the vw kids with "vtec this" stickers on their cars.

Personally, my favorite little snipe is a sticker I had on the upper surface of the wing on my Corrado that said "your suv sucks", only readable by someone in a land behemoth.

My S should be running mid 7s.
I remember you posted about this a while ago. Did you finally turn the boost way up or get nitrous? How much power is the car making now?

My car hasn't made it to the track since going boost yet. With my inlinePRO setup, I made 352rwhp @ 9 psi. Full-Race is guaranteeing me over 400rwhp @ 9 psi with their turbo manifold added to the equation. The parts are being shipping out this week and will be installed during the week of March 25th. I am trying to schedule an appointment to have her re-tuned/dyno'd on March 31st. I have a set of AP1 rear wheels, and will be buying either Nitto 555s or MT Street Radials. If all goes well, I'll be going to the Q sometime in April.

With 400 rwhp and a really, really good 60ft time, you can get into the mid 7's. Like you said, hopefully you can knock out the time before the diff lets go. When you do upgrade it, I assuming you're going to stay with the same gearing?

I know that the my car will be capable of hitting mid 7s in the 1/8th; whether my driving skills are good enough is another story. I will go into each "event" with the expectation that the rear diff will break. When and if it happens I will immediately upgrade to the R200 diff.

When you say same gearing, are you referring to the 4.57-R FD I currently have, or are you talking about the 4.09 FD that will come with the Nissan diff?

I ran into one on the highway, wasn't a race really, but he blew by me and I chased up until around 140. He didn't pull away nor was he walking away.
