Default t2te50 vs r32 rb20

My brothers best mate came around last night to show off his wicked 2.0l r32 running 15 psi boost.
Black, dumped on its balls, four spote on the front, big cooler, **** valve and 3 inch exhaust all the way through with the complementry fart cannon.
Anyway ' YO BROW, HOW ABOUT A CRUISE'. We all know what that means. :newangel:

We gave it a squirt off a few sets of lights and it was as if the thing was standing still. Even suprised me for most rb25 will give most cars a drubbing so why shouldn't a rb20 be competitive? It was thought it was driver skill to blame so he passed over the reigns to his mate who was a 'little' more ruthless. They went passed as a few times and I saw flames lighting up the rear of the car (must have been bouncing off limiter).

Anyhow at the next set of lights I hear a tell tale knocking noise coming from the engine as if someones hitting it with a hammer. Get back home find that the engine has about 1 bar oil pressure at idle and no power. I've got an engine coming monday, fingers crossed it goes in as easily as it came out.

Moral: Don't buy ex japanese drift cars at bargain base prices. They were boasting about how it would brake traction in third as it hit boost. I found that both back wheel bearings are about to part company with their hubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
