Trueno Drift

[pergatory]

I use the Driving Force as well, unfortunately. I didn't know the difference between the two when I bought it, otherwise I would've gotten the GT Force. Oh well, it only needs to hold me off until GT4 comes out =) I got the wheel for $40 anyway.

Congrats on the purchase 86, I think you'll really enjoy the wheel, even if it is the crappy one. The Driving Force often won't let you shift while the wheel is turned more than a little bit. That gets REALLY annoying sometimes, but you do get used to it. Actually once you get in the habit, you can do all your shifting before the corner, or during transfers and you can usually shift up during corner exits too luckily. You'll see what I mean.

Azn, is the one for sale down the street an SR5 or GT-S? If it's a GT-S for that price, and in decent shape, you could definetely make some money off it (or keep it). You can still find people who don't know what they have and will sell it for dirt cheap. If you're not interested in it, you should post it on Club4AG, someone there will surely appreciate it (even if it's an SR5).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3055796814&category=21188&rd=1 (WWOOO!!!!!) lol. I just bought that, thats my moms ebay, I make her use her credit card since I refuse to carry one, lol. Now all I gotta do is wait for it to get here darnit

I can't download your first one, did you remove it? Anyway, the second one looks pretty good. Nice and steady. Sounds like the car isn't tuned very responsively though, you might want to work on that as you can pull much more aggressive stuff with a responsive car. =) Just a tip. The style looks good though.

And yes, the 20v is a very good engine. 160hp stock. Need I say more? It's the engine that Formula Atlantic uses, along with TRD for their Group A (the engine Takumi uses) and Keiichi in his personal 86.

i have no clue, there's no tags or nething, but i always suspected it was a trueno. I asked my dad to purchase it but he thinks it's a POS and won't waste his money

 

[pergatory]

Tell him to take it for a drive. My dad felt the same way about mine until he rode in it. Unless it's in bad condition...

 

[azndrifter318]

i'll convince him 2day now that i know it's a trueno, tnx peeps.

hmmm, I paid 1,200 for mine, and its pretty much mint Ugh, I had the most aweful nightmare last night, I dreamt we moved back into the aweful neighborhood where I used to live and it got stolen and stripped, STRIPPED, how could you ever strip such a rare car as mine, you'd have to be ignorant! I died at the end too, muahaha, anywho.. I have wierd dreams...

Hey dude, 800 bucks, especially for a GT, I'd snatch that right up man, go for it if its in any kind of decent condition (at least runs and u can drive it home without anymore than maybe a little spot or 2 of rust)

K_mac why haven't you removed your intake snorkle even though you've upgraded to an open-air filter?

 

[AE86ProjectT1]

cuz he's not smart like you, he's dumb like me.

 

[XzifT]

Be as smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than to be smart.

 

[AE86ProjectT1]

because it works better because it keeps the filkter away from engine heat and removing it would mean $$$$ because i would have to modify the mafs so there

 

[pergatory]

It doesn't keep the filter away from engine heat, I don't know where you got that idea. In fact, I'd say if anything it obstructs cold air that would otherwise come in between the hood and grill. It obviously isn't even hooked up anymore, in other words it's just taking up space. The only thing holding it there are those two screws on top. You don't have to modify the AFM either. There is an adaptor that's needed for a cold-air filter but you obviously already have that. (It's the piece that bolts to the AFM and that your filter bolts onto.) The only reason I can see for keeping it there is so you can display your various stickers. I'm not hounding you, or I wasn't originally, just pointing out that I'm confused why you would leave it there. It's the first piece I removed when I got my 86, even before I upgraded the filter.

[K_mac501]

i think im confused at what your saying, plz explain what you mean by snorkel

 

[pergatory]

It's the plastic tube above your fan that has the HKS sticker on it. Used to be connected to the air filter box, but now both ends are open.

 

[K_mac501]

o lol yeah it still brings air to the air filter, but yeah it looks dumb if i ripped it off, its got my hp stickers on it, i was thinking of the other part the intake
