Wouldn't it be better to pick somewhere a little less public ?
Also can we choose somwhere that doesn't have big ditches at the entrance/exit ?
Cuz i dont want damage my FMIC or my muffler ?

I'd be up for a bit of a cruise, for obvious reasons... I wouldn't be pulling any burnouts or drifting I'd just be along for the ride in my limo if that was kool with you guys?
- Day or night, either one
- DEC carpark sounds good
For me personally it would probably need to be a week night because of the 95% chance I wouldn't have the time on a weekend.

Yeah its not THAT loud but its certainly far from quiet.
Mookie's car goes hard, I just wish I knew what sort of times it would do in a drag. I don't reckon I will ever ride in another car with so much acceleration. Comparing it to things like a friends Porsche and another friends WRX STi this blows them all out of the water by a long shot. 
"It's interesting" is Mookie's summary of his vehicle.
Go for a ride in it, its a heap of fun!

I can tell you now, the GT4 wouldn't win  I'd get to 3.5RPM and then hit fuel cut...

I'd like to know too? As far as I know the GT-Fours are slow'ish because they have a heavy four-wheel-drive drivetrain? I wouldn't care tho, they are slick as hell and quicker than a NA Celica I guess.

well any turbo car would have a bit of get up and go.. provided its petrol and not to heavy!! i reckon an MA61 with a 7M turbo would beat an SA63 with a 1G. Not only would the supra have more torque, but more HP and a 7M revs harder plus the turbo is bigger! i got a mate with a 1G in his MA61 his is white like mine as well.. and get this it was originally a GT Supra and it was converted.. wat a waste  the only difference in the SA63 and the MA61 in weigh would be around 70-100kg.. Does the SA63 come stock with rear disks, LSD and IRS ?

only IRS.
But my lighter car would be able to keep the engine reving and the car on boost.
I have no idea it's just an assumtion.
I'd give you a run for your money.
If it bogged down off the line or had some wheelspin i would all over it making the most out of your mistake.
so what's this fuel cut thing ?????

Fuel cut is built into the ECU. When the boost reaches a certain PSI (about 12 on the GT4) it will stop delivering fuel to the engine (for protection) and suddenly you find that the car jolts almost to a standstill and then kicks in again. After it happens, it won't let you have any positive boost until you stop the car to reset the ECU.
I think the only reason it's happening is because of the mods that are installed (eg boost controller). As soon as I get a new ECU installed then I will be fuel cut free (and propably have a buggered engine too)

That explains it! When are you getting the new ECU? Can you look after the motor until then?

Yeah, for normal city driving it will never hit fuel cut. It's easy enough to on the highway in 3rd though. I just have to keep and eagle eye on the boost guage.

its the same with 1g-gte 9.9 is the max boost on the stock ecu when they hit 10 the ecu cuts off the fuel supply to prevent the engien from becoming all fucked up... running masses of boost will mean u will eventually have to replace the rings, gaskests etc etc..
How does a drift day up at a race track sound, just put some chesse cutters on the back and take it for a Dorifto!

Well mine can boost up to 15psi with not fuel cut anywhere ???
maybe the fuel cut as been removed.
I've got some cheese cutter wheels off a bluebird i might go and buy more if i can find them.

Same here because I'd need to take a change of clothes to work maybe grab something quick to eat straight after work, but still a goer if people are interested.
Thursday March 3rd - 6:00pm onwards, location [TBA]
Anyone interested, if so, nominate a meeting point.
