theres no way i'm changing that 1337 steering wheel!

and the wheels weren't my choice and they aren't standard so someone CHOSE those gay wheels

the wheelnut spacing is 4 X 140mm, an evil size

and the GT-R badge is a joke :P

yaeh more than a few times i've gone to grab a spoke to flick the wheel around and grabbed nothing but air :P but it is quiote a comfortable wheel for stock

STILL getting used to gearstick but if you hold it all pistol grip like it's quite funky

heheheh, yeah but nothign beats dumhed's quote which made it as my sig


it was supposed to be the sports car to end all sports cars :S

but with 85kw i think they were dreaming a bit,

but they did do trials using an XT6 body and crammed an EG33 in it! but never made it out

it's FWD but there were $WD turbo XT's (vortexes)

yeah people keep saying put an EJ20 in it, but i'm cheap

i WOULD like an EG33 in it, 255hp or turbo goodness, but you have to do heaps fo body modifying to make ti fit and the cost would be horrendous

24th eh....have to see if i'm free

I are at Quakers Hill in sydney

hehehe, I used to have a Vortex - before the Silvia.
It was a hell of a lot of fun, especially the reactions you get from other people. It's about 50:50 that people either love it cos it's so weird, or hate it and want to kill you :lol:

BOVing quite well, sounds kinda wussy though, DumHed thought of plugging the hole and drilling lots of tiny holes to try and make it like the ricy ones,

i got the other EGR one which sounds damn cool but it leaks boost at 3000rpm and you got none left at 4000 :(
