  1. Im thinking about doing a track day this year, maybe ill tag along in this one. Anyone know about what/where the requirements to ride on the track are?
  2. Alright im bored, so to start some conversation i figured i ask whats your favorite beer/wine/liqor? Ill start, when im relaxing a Corona is my favorite. However it sucks when you want to get slammed, so during toilet bonding time i drink several things. Things i like are coors, busch, and nattie in terms of beer, but southern comfort, everclear, and moonshine are nice too.
  3. I snow board so its still fun. Plus im thinking about buying a dirtbike this winter to play on.
  4. nah i just worded it wrong, often times i type things and dont read what i put.
  5. The only thing that i dislike about nissans, which they are my favorite car maker, is that they are a pain to work on. I am only basing this off a maxima that my uncle had, you had to tear half the motor apart just to change spark plugs. Currently though i want a 90+ 300zx
  6. meh, i usally just use the forums themselves. Havent even really used anything else.
  7. hutch if i tried to turbo my katana, it would probably blow up.I have seen a 600cc bike turbo'd but i dont think the katana is a contender.
  8. They did? Never hear about that, i knew mercedes and volkswagen made small diesels. Yea i told him to get an RX7, but he uses his RX8 as a daily driver and put an ugly pburg steelers emblem on the back window. He likes it though so guess thats what matters.
  9. Nice bike indeed, used to do bike trips but now im too lazy... GLWS
  10. Well it sounds right, most the people that i talked to werent talking about stock turbos. I have a friend with an RX8 who wants more power, but said he refuses to turbo it for this reason.
  11. Very true, many people dont want a nicely painted bike for one it could be their first bike or they could want to do something custom or unique.
  12. i totally agree about diesels, they're damn long lasting and built motors. They outlast most trucks, they so should make a diesel ranger, colorado, and dakota. People would buy the crap out of them.
  13. A turbo forces air from the exhaust back into the motor, a supercharger uses the crank shaft to turn the compressor. Forcing air into something leads to faster wear. You are correct that how you drive, maintain, and cool is a factor, but as far is it being the same wear as an n/a ive always heard different. not saying your wrong, its just thats what ive always heard and the theory that forcing air into something wears it down faster made sense to me.
  14. Jporter you drive alot of cars... you test drive alot or work for a dealer?
  15. Yea the GS is sweet as hell, but as far as the turbo 4cyl goes forced induction is harder on a motor. Still might be fast, but if i were wanting power id go get the new lacrosse super its suppose to be the "new grand national" to a sense, think they said 0-60 was like 5.6 or so... If i were gonna get forced induction, id get the supercharged V6 GS over the new 4cyl turbo. just my preference.
  16. Yes the japanese motors can make more horsepower in terms of supra's 2jz, but they are expensive to work on, hard to work on if you do it yourself, and just arent as reliable. Thats why i always loved the 3.8. Dont get me wrong im a person who enjoys JDM, but im refering to daily drivers. In terms of a track yea the 3.8 n/a vs JDM n/a doesnt compare.
  17. +1 You can also see about other riders on here, i know a few people do it themselves.
