Back to the car talk...

You guys like to watch Top Gear?

No, they don't like the new MINI. :usuck:




:hehe:

^ Hey, you mentioned torque steer... How bad is it?

I'm guessing it couldn't be that bad, since you bought the car regardless.

My butt is the butt of all jokes. God knows I have enough to go around.

On Topic: I just found out that my dad has a connection with Nissan as well. :nut: Let's see if I can get a deal.

the runflats, i think, is keeping me from feeling the full extent. But right now, it's not really bad. I think if swapped out same sized regular tires it might get a little hoppy. I've heard that lowering a bit does help though... but i'm not sure which direction to go on suspension, so we'll see about that.

I did light up the tires the other day though on wide left turn as i was leaving my friends place. :hehe: :hehe: man, when that boost finally kicks in full power... sheesh...

Like that but dual-cab and with a tray instead of a pickup back.

That doesn't take much, considering the torque peak is at 1500rpm. :sweat:

The turbo spools up pretty quick. :victory:

if i can ever figure out how to record it, i'll tape me getting on the highway at full throttle.. it's a beautiful chorus air being moved about. It's no 998 Turbo, but it's as close as i'll get in the far near future.

Eeek, looks like the rear shocks are shot as well... Having those replaced while they're at it.

Cha-ching. :sweat:

It hurts the wallet now, but it's best to get all that suspension stuff done at once. Otherwise it's kind of like changing the oil but not the filter. [/list:u]
