Got the Beast but...
thats the bit i'm still trying to get my head around,as you said its what i always wanted but now i have it i dont really want it,maybe that will change but i'm not in a position to have a 10k track car(although i wish i was,lol) Paul.

Hi Mark, the clutch really isnt that bad but the plan was still to change to an rps carbon, it will get a dyno tomorrow when the AFR is checked,the quarter mile isnt really what i think this car would be at home doing,more of a time attack car,it'll go through corners at speeds i would never have even thought about in any of my old zeds. i really dont know what to do as i love it,it's my dream zed with everything done... it has the brakes and suspension there to support the power even on the edge it feels very controllable. i just feel it would be a real waste to sit it outside and use it maybe twice a year. Paul.

lol,i'll check back in a week or 2 to see if you guys are nearer the bid ;) the problem isnt so much the drivability(sp) of the car its more the fact i'll honestly end up in jail having it,i've already got used to the clutch or atleast have stopped stalling it,lol i think i must be getting old :( as for price it is owe me around 8k as is once i get it mapped it will have cost me close to 2k more including the price of the AEM. Paul.

i thought i lived on that diet...till i got this thing,even Kirbz who has had a bundle of high powered cars descrided this car as "fooking extreme"lol heres a few pics... i would happily place money on this being the fastest 300zx in the uk,the handling is second to none even traction is great thanks to an aftermarket diff and the fact whoever set it up must have known what they were doing :bow: Paul.

after 4 months of no sleep waiting on the car arriving from japan its now finally road legal, and i'm tempted to sell it already as it really isnt a road car,to do 30mph you have to sit in 2nd or it jumps along the road,the clutch(os giken triple plate) really is an on off switch, i dont care if i sound like a pussy but it really is just too fast :o every gear once you hit 4k the world warps around you and you go deaf as the screamer pipes engage :smash: its just far too extreme to use as a fast road car 100mph+ is instant,theres no playing with scoobs or anything anymore even pulled away from a gallardo without too much effort(which was when it sunk in,what if there was a police car sitting at the side of the road,at the speeds this thing does the ban isnt the worrying thing)tom tom gps seen 198mph(on a private road of course)and still pulling, 4th and 5th gear feel more like 2nd and 3rd in my old zed running 1.2 bar, its evil i tell you,lol :wack: i cant afford to keep a track car like this so what do i do? a very much still shaking Paul.
