100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass.

Re: EssDub's Departure from the Norm.
Considering the 1ZZ makes 138 HP, are you going to get 276 HP out of it? Is there a supercharger kit waiting in the wings? 265HP is about 200 KW, or about 160 KW ATW (which is what I have currently). Do tell .

Re: EssDub's Departure from the Norm.
Stop reading of pieces of paper, Jason.
It actually makes 112hp right now... Ideally we'll hit around 200 with the right setup.
Combine that with removing another 30kg of weight and yeah, fun times
Of course, there is always the option of strapping a supercharger to it down the track... But a hard top is next in line...

Done a bit more tweaking during the week, took Lee for a drive since he's here on work.
