So...it's been a while

by nikp » Sat May 08, 2010 9:21 am

Well, i don't have calibra, and haven't for several years. I still lurk from time to time, and felt it's time I said 'hello'. Not for any real reason really!

For anyone that doesn't know I had a cally several years ago, then an RX-7 that got modded quite heavily with a single turbo (Garrett GT35R ball bearing turbo - v. cool) and was producing roughly 400bhp.

Now have an Evo 8 that will be modded to a similar level of power (Have a pair of HKS camshafts to go on and soon a decent turbo).

There - that's it. Not sure what the point of this post is! :P

Not really a family car though :wink:

You going to Japfest next weekend? Glad to see the Evo still looking nice, 400bhp shouldnt be too difficult to achieve with a nice turbo

No, not really a family car. Love the Evo too, don't get me wrong. Just doesn't have the looks of the '7. If i do get 400bhp, it will be more usable power than the rex too. It has better low down torque.

Not sure about Japfest yet. Got the inlaws down so undecided at the moment.

You going to Japfest Bodge? I can't decide - wondering why you ask? I need a reason to go!
