Ok First of I would like to say thanx for all the info guys, u have a lot of knowldge.
I'v found aout a lot by just reading this thred. Its nice to know things about other racing sports, I say this b/c I have not goten in to drift or raley racing, yet, I'm more of a drag racer I have a 94 300ZX Twin Turbo. putting out about 1200 hp and i put down mid to low 10's and once got a 9.967 i was stoked to see a 9 lol.
JC:
Those Tomahawk bikes look nice, but honestly scare me a lot... I'm not a fan of motorbikes, guy that was on a car cruise a while ago works as a nurse in a hospital emergency department... Motorcycle riders are nicknamed "Organ Donors" :/
A 300ZX would be okay at drifting, provided you had a little more clearance, and probably more rubber on those wheels (They look like 21" rims to me, great for drags, but they lose their tread quickly)... 1200hp is impressive to say the least, but I wonder how much of that is actually useable in something other than a straight line?
Also, just out of curiousity, how heavy is that 300ZX? :P

That's why the car gods invented the Wastegate. If the turbo is being overdriven, and the wastegate is cracking as it should, he needs to invest in an external wastegate, or port out the flow sections for his existing internal wastegate.

Isnt that a bypass valve? Afaik a wastegate evacuates the turbo when you step off the gas to remove the resistance of the compressed air and makes this lovely sound *g*
Maybe Takumi makes progess, but to me its not that impressive, no revolution. If he keeps developing in that way, there should be a better driver or at least a better car very soon.
Oh and dont make me watch ep 11 +12 even more!! Havent touched it so far, so please stop spoiling!
