Just taking it all in.
Milky be like: Can i drift it?
XD
This is what I love to see on here. Keep up the good work man. Your car is awesome 👍
That is so incredibly clean, great build!
Thanks guys. The car is due for another tune in the very near future. Just waiting for a semi cool day before we put it on the dyno because its really hot in Australia atm. But ill keep updating as time goes on. Thank again for liking my pride and joy :)
This is one of the best, if not the best Type X out there man. It looks soooo damm good
Thank you. That means a lot.
But the camber :(
Believe me it upsets me too. I don’t want to flare guards though. I have since fixed this by adjusting lower control arms and bringing the wheels in a bit. These photos are just old. But in saying that this cars main purpose was a good weekend drive thats able to drift. It handles incredibly well because of those camber settings.
Nice!
Very nice! What kind of spool time do you have on the 20g? Not many people run them with the TD06 hotside, usually TD05.
Well at the moment it’s not as responsive as I’d like it to be. Boost kicks in at about 4000rpm. But with the new intake manifold and intercooler setup i should see that drop a bit lower.
Awesome dude!
Dat a*s
