Thanks C-town. Do you know what year Honda started using it? Honda have done a lot of good things for Japanese cars, there a great company.

im so suprised no one said this...after intake then exaust throw a 75 shot of nitrous on it, sence the bottem end is the same as the turbo version it should be fine..i have raced a couple nice n/a supras and they seem to be pretty quick, you would be pretty much unstoppable...then after your done having fun..turn that bottle off and just be a sleeper

i agree, its not really the car itself putting down the power, its just like he said temporary, cheap power. any one can put no2 on a car and say its fast

i agree with the nitrous thing lol. i would still use it tho, just not count it as part of my bragging rights. just to beat cocky people.

Me and my friends all had a little street race gathering last night...it was the most fun ive ever had driving a car. i won...needless to say haha jk, but i beat a 2 liter golf, 99 v6 accord, a v6 olds (car was actually a lot faster than i thought) and a 97 maxima. the closest race was me and the accord....neck and neck till top of third gear.

I like the sound of the 98-02 V6 accord.

I've driven those, and I've driven a 2005 V6 accord, and the difference is quite noticeable. Well, from stock 200hp to 240hp, I guess it should be. The 03+ v6 Accord is pretty fast, and the interior is AMAZING, wow, some fucking car that is.

back to the weight thing ( damn honda. i don't drive a whale ), a xr6 turbo falcon weighs 1795kg, r34 skyline weighs 1666kg and has a more similar engine cc-wise. 1500kg aint really that much for a turbo 3L ( -ish ) i-6. who was it first called the supra a pig ?

lifesnotfair · 01-23-2006, 03:58 PM

I think the R34 is heavier because of the 4x4, which helps a lot in the takeoffs. I've always heard that the MK3's problem is the takeoffs...

i believe honda started to experiment with this in the late 70's early 80s but its now used on almost every honda/acura

Bit of a street racer, I guess. I'm told they're fast. Delivering it home with a friend driving the Supra for the first time. I drop gears and make a scream from the twin pipes flowing down this pony's flanks and it takes off like it's tail's on fire. I look back when the Honda gets to its tap-out and the Supra's only two lengths behind. No one I've let ride my bike has told me its slow, they've all loved the thing. That car is a good thing indeed.
