was looking at EVO 5-6 and Skyline R33 GTR

it costs a fortune up uprate anyhting on those cars..

but the power increase isnt huge untill you uprate the pistons/rods and Turbo/Turbos

bloody crazy.. you could spunk 3k before you know it..

but i really want one, it would just have to be standard for a long long time

they dont go fo flashy max style cars.

lol in the first issue they featured a hachi roku which hadnt been washed the wheels were rusty and had body filler covering rust holes.

but was featured coz its fast and wat the jap schene is about.

I have resisted modding mine! Still feels fast when i take it out!!

Actually the best mod............get a 1.4 escort "Cabaret" like I have. use that for work/shopping/tip runs etc etc and just use your jap metal for weekends and thrashing! Should feel how fast it feels after driving the Cabaret all week!!!

R32 is bassically RWD with an electronically controlled clutch mounted on the prop shaft that could feed more power to the front wheels when nessacery

its advertised as 4wd but is like a scooby which is a permanent 4wd

I wouldn't go mad modding a big jap car i'd follow st's advice personally when and where are you gonna need 650bhp i'd rather have a car i love driving not just to boast about the figures.
