FTO AUSTRALIA

hey Guys, continuing on the "bagging fto's" post i thought we could start by bagging other cars you have beaten in a drag, driven by rice boys who thought there car was fast.
There is a nissan "fully sick nismo, bling bling rice machine" nx coupe who a have passed a few times in epping melb with the biggest spoiler i have seen, gotta weight over 50kg at least and about 2 kgs of stickers promoting nissan (not knocking skylines , which rock). But this guy took of like a mad man at on set of lights, and i eventually caught up with him by driving normally. this happened twice on high st. I finally though enough of the games, "let's dance". At the next set of lights i let him get a head start by a second or to and then let it rip. Bout five seconds latter he was in my rear view mirror not looking too happy and the rest is history. I managed to see a few gauge's on his dash when i was pulling away.
I wonder what they were for.......boost.....nah.........revs.....nah.....bullshit............yeah!!!!

you may add countless riced up Lancers/Mirages/Civics/Astras/Barinas and Gemis into my list, but IMO they're not worthy of being humiliated on this thread LOL...

some worthy opponents worth mentioning are:

1. Celica VVTi
2. Honda Prelude VTiR
3. Integra DC5R
4. CA18 180SX's
5. 300ZX (NA)
6. JZA80 Supra (NA)
7. R32 Skyline GTS

i don't really go looking for trouble these days... i tend to drive my car in a more relaxed state now so i can enjoy my doof-doof tunes with my new ICE... but on some occassions i do give it some stick if they insist on gee-ing me up.

Can't wait for my clutch to be sorted next week - plenty of fun times ahead when it goes in, haha..

R32 would've be a nive achievement.
What your new ICE setup, i'm saving up to spend about $1000 over the next few months that speakers and and amp, already got Pioneer 3550mp or something like that

i meant nice , not nive too

it was a stock R32 but i think the guy couldn't launch it well coz he was bogging down everytime, plus i think it was stock except a fukd gearbox (i think) a/m exhaust and BoV... sounded bloody loud too, but it was hilarious to hear his gears crunching during shifts... ouch!

my ICE consists of a Panasonic MP3 deck, Cadence Q4000 amp powering the front stage (soon to be replaced with Hertz or Boston splits) and a single 12" Phoenix Gold tantrum sub in a sealed box (firing into the cabin)

due to the added weight at the rear, i will not be pushing the car as hard anymore but this will be offset soon with the new turbo motor going in next year, haha...

sounds sweet, i'm getting the q4000 also, hwo much did you get it for and where from, i have a price for $380 fron highpoint jbhifi. Is it a good amp, where is it located in your car. I am planning on sticking it on the back of the rear seats in the boot, but the rear seat wall is very flimsy so i will need to make up another wall for the amp
I am going for the JL audio VR600 csi front splits , ticket price about $380 but i got a quote for $300 from JB also. The JL's blew me away and sound so natural.
I've currently got some decent pioneer 80rms 6x9s in the back , but i will be getting a sub to but budge is no more than $200 inc box. Boot space is an issue for me cause i cart around stuff for work sometimes so i think i will just velcro it down
