stouty Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 Why doesnt anyone do anything with the 3tc in Australia??? Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 Why doesnt anyone do anything with the 3tc in Australia??? North America does a lot more with the 3T because they got it in a lot more cars, thus parts are plentiful and cheap (and that's how they get so much power out of the 3Ts over in Puerto Rico, they boost the crap out of it until it breaks then just drop a new engine in for $50) Quote
stouty Posted November 3, 2010 Report Posted November 3, 2010 yeah sucks that there isnt any parts or info on how to build them over here. BRD racing has some awsome stuff just nothing in Australia but Quote
carbonboy Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 So the rear strut brace & the roll cage I spotted are included in stock chassis/suspension? :P Other than that, freaking aewsome! :yes: Quote
YLD 10S Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Was I the only one that pissed myself laughing at the Integra at the start? But then I felt really bad because it beat the KP :( But the starlet is still a sick automobile! love the sound! Quote

But then I felt really bad because it beat the KP :( But the starlet is still a sick automobile! love the sound! Not the only one! FWD cars at the drags are a joke. That is an awesome little Starlet, nice job. Quote
carbonboy Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 Not the only one! FWD cars at the drags are a joke. Backyarder anyone? If you've seen the work & the results, no joke. :no2: Okay, so FWD cars don't have the laws of physics on their side at the drags, but not everyone wants to rip skids or be bonsai dooriftu :P P.S Yeah, I laughed at the Integra too :laff: Quote

Doogs Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 I didn't say it can't be done, I just don't think it's worth the effort. There are some pretty quick FWD lancers going around, but I think they had to stuff around a fair bit with the suspension to get the thing to handle. It's pretty counter-intuituive having a car that throws all the load off the driving and steering wheels when it launches. Quote

Fair call :y: Also a fair call, also true, but also a great challenge to tackle for some :yes: Quote
