Bring a truck and a trailer.

What is the reasoning behind modding a vehicle in such a manner that causes the owner not to trust it to transport oneself from point A to point B?

Man, OV1 goes away, S12 Drifter replaces him and KingTalon goes straight Bizarro.

Only on the forums will people fap over a big dollar setup that goes 2000 miles a year.

Screw that. I see that on track a year.

I can promise you nor I am smarter then the people who engineered these engines on a piece of paper and brought them to life.

you port the shit out of your SR throw on the BIGGEST throttle body on the market, what 90mm? throw on a bigger exhaust manifold and go with a freddy intake manifold? hey your a home made engineer!!! props!!! for fucking up a design that worked prior to you touching it.

YEA some wicked drivablity your going to have, have fun with not making torque under 4,600.

no better then supra owners, they throw on the biggest turbo they can find, exhaust, intake ect ect expect to have the WIDE powerband and only end up having a powerband from 6,500-8k LMAO dyno queens.

DAFUQ did i just read there ?

I am going to write it down again. We dont care about EXACT piston speed, we are not building F1 engines. All we need is MAXIMUM piston speed, and this is given by a freaking simple formulae.

As far as the other stuff you wrote, i highly suggest you first learn who people are and what they do before making any comment. I am one of the few posters on zilvia that keeps repeating the damn same thing you wrote, so dont ever write that BS to me ...

Fuck. You people are relentless, just stop with the bickering. Im sure OP is long gone but ive seen this thread and it went sour from the get go when i read it a few days ago. Either way, to the OP - if its not too late yet - driving a car at a constant speed for long periods of time is much better than driving it in stop and go traffic. I say go for it, ive taken my rb s14 for some long drives and never had a problem.

Its not necessarily the mods. 240s are old cars, shits going to break.
