looks like a hks snail. Looks like t04r
460 at 10psi must be obviously a flywheel figure. Nvertheless sounds impressive no teasing please we want specs
Rotorstock is becoming more interesting day by day.

Looks quality...Where did you get it from?
Rotorstock is goin to be (hoprfully) the best Jap show this year as it based around rotary engine motors(hence the name). Also lookin like bein one hell of a drag shootout between the big boys.

Hi SI, no my rx is not silver, it gonna be Deep purple dude!!

I do have a a side pic of the rx but wont post as the alloys are being changed as we speak for 18" impreza golds multi spokes.
Just the colours gold not actual impreza alloys - just to clarify.

Tell you what i\'ll post a pic of the rear of the rx just remember the cars bit dirty at time of pic :rolleyes:

See you soon Si

Hello People,

Slight bit of a delay i\'m afraid, the rx isn\'t ready just yet so gonna have to wait till next weekend!!

Just minor work remaining , tell you what anybody got hints on driving a twin plated clutch rx? i was struggling like @&^%!!

Kept stalling the thing!! feels very quick though, more pics when i get hold of it chaps, should be still on for the bubble meet though, hopefully.

The cars from "Dragonperformance"

Post by: scooby_si on January 19, 2004, 05:46:59 PM
i think the clutch will be a case of getting used to it as with all machines takes a bit of practice to get the better of it lol, not sumin i\'ve had much experiance of other than a play in a R33 GTR with a triple now that was hard work (http://smilies.crowd9.com/contrib/blackeye/boring.gif) as i say sure you\'ll get the measure of it soon enough thou & hope you, & i for that matter, get sorted by Sunday (http://cmw.dailymoviereviews.com/cwm/cwm/updown.gif)

Yeah mate, I was the same when I picked mine up 18 months ago. Looked like a right **** driving it home 150 miles. Petrol station after about 3 minutes of driving it was particularly amusing (for on-lookers!) :rolleyes:

You\'ll get used to it and then you\'ll love it. They grip hard :D

Post by: gsb876 on January 19, 2004, 08:20:01 PM
