Pics of assembled s13 adapters - review before panicking!

You yourself said it needs a ton of other stuff to work. I'm soooo sorry the way I suggested you do this would then work without needing roll center adjusters and a ton of other crap.

shit how many 700hp VG30Et's have there been in the life of the vg existing? 1 maybe 2 with WWR. laughable at best.

350hp miata vs 350hp z31 mod for mod you get more out of the miata, the z31 will win in the straights but thats about it.

my time slip from time attack. compare times to the miatas and other cars that day. I'm under flat black z…


Please tell me how a miata can be better than my 400 dollar turd on home built coils. Go on.

But back on topic. In to see what happens

a 350hp miata vs a 350hp z31 turbo both set up with the same mods will eat the z31 alive. even then the miata only has 118hp dont feel so proud because a 140hp miata will rape you like no tomorrow no matter what you do the Z31 is a longer car and will not be as nimble as the miata.

Careless;338777 wrote: so can i say that's a typical "z31 is the best car evar" mikep comment?
i admire your passion for the z31's, but it's not the end all and be all of cars.

given a choice of comparably priced/capable bases to use for a car that would actually be competitive amongst other similarly modified vehicles, the z31 would not be near the top of the list, but not the bottom either.
i won't reserve my judgement either, because other than the slow RB26 powered Z31, I have not seen anything race-ready compete at tsukuba or any other notable track (80's nissan race program not included. I'm talking privateer builds here), so I'd have to default to something I know is capable of more than what's been shown thus far.
when someone shows me a track prepped z31 that can hold its own, i will change my mind.

And no, Russ' car doesn't count. it's so far back in the pack of cars I'm thinking of, that I figured I'd make that point before someone starts saying "zomg russ will drive circles round'joo!" like i'm supposed to give a shit.

i still like z31's. but im not afraid to admit that other cars "can" and "are" "better".
