Get some Micket Thompson ET Streets do an 8k launch, your car will hook and like russel peters says "Beee a Maaan"

love russell peters.

but seriously don't do that, drive shafts will fail.

You are correct, either that or you will spin your hubs.

Maybe not 8k but you can launch it in the powerband and not bog down

Check this guy out, car has done 11.999 on an internally stock mx with stock 5 speed and a torsen quite impressive

Evos, WRXs, FD RX7's, GTRs, all whupped by "a hairdresser's car", how will they ever live that down

Congratulations Charlie - you've heard it before, and I'll say it again, you've built a great car there and this is further unbiased recognition.

Its cool when this sort of stuff happens.. Like there are a lot of cool cars especially the Evo and Gtr but yet they still got beaten by a little homo mobile :p

"It’s not based on anything else, and it’s not modified with thousands of off the shelf parts." was the biggest factor IMO. It's easy to just add off-the-shelf-ready-made parts but pioneering your own build because existing kits don't exist is definitely an added level of difficulty (and awesome when you pull it off).

Update time

Sooo saturday i went out to a meet to chill for a bit and advertise that my car is for sale etc. Was good fun. Drove there and back no issues which is always nice. Got a couple of cool pics too.

Scrapping splitter like a boss.. Dont mind the tires. There just worn down nt01's

Monday came and it was time for the first track day of the year

. Was good fun. Ended the day with a pb of 59.7 which i didnt think i would do on these tires but stoked that i did. No issues as well and drove awesome all day.

This is a cool pic of the car parked next to me. Was so clean and stock. Like beauty and the beast haha :p

Only pic i got on track for now.

Will post the video when its uploaded soon
