That was your 86? |
That WAS my old GT-S. I sold it about four months ago. It was my old track car. We tightened up the rear shocks (Tokico HTS) dialed in extra camber in the front and it became a drift car. =)
It originally had a small turbo set-up for street. Here's my homepage, it hasn't been updated in a while, but this is what is was, when I used to use it as a daily driver:

Then about a year ago, everything was revamped to make it a dedicated track car, rollbar, bigger turbo, stronger motor, new suspension, etc., etc., etc. I sold it to Alex of BattleVersion, who was also the guy that helped me do the revamp and he wanted a shop car. At that same time, I was getting bored of having just a track car because it's such a waste. I couldn't drive the car on the street without worrying about getting pulled over, I had to tow it to the tracks, etc. etc.
So, I sold it to Alex at a discount and he's been using it at various drifting events. It was a great car for track and we dyno'd it at 230hp at the wheels in a 120 degree heatwave (yeah, that was dumb), so it more likely made a tad over 240 at the wheels in regular weather.
For street, I actually preferred the smaller turbo, which was more responsive and faster to spool. Although the power was less.
I got it when I was still in high school in 1989, so I had the car before the whole import craze started. Here I am, getting all nostalgic about my old car...hahah. :roll:
Now I drive an M5...arrr arrr arr!
