And no it was not a terribly fast car... my dad's convertable 911 NA had it no problem... the cost wasn't very high (1000 at most) and my buddy had money pouring out of his ears at the time. I never got to see what it did once he put a turbo on his na block I was told it was disquisting fast but I never got to ride in it.


AJ1978TA:
I wasn't talking about a 3g which wasn't even the car being discussed... or a 2g... a friend of mine had a 1st gen awd turbo talon and he raced a friend with a 9? camaro ss. and they hit 150 and let off... he said he could of hit 160 easy. yes his car was chipped and turbo. I'd imagine that somewhere in the mentioned $70k budget put into the 2g eclipse in FnF there was a turbo..

The reason you CAN do a wheelie while spinning the tires is because if you have enough EXCESS torque you can have enough traction to hold the car in position and go forward all the while spinning the tires.... Like ford dude said...

"anything can be done with bleach on the track for SHOWS, name 1 ****ing car that can do that off the starting line with slicks without help from the wet box."

If you can do it with the aid of bleach then how is it impossible without? you still have traction loss right???? and it's still doing a wheelie...and spinning the tires.. that sounds like its possible to me. Also the car I'm refering to was on slicks that's the whole point.

My car can loose traction but maintain forward movement. Anyone who's ever done a burnout realizes that yes there is traction lose but you still lurch forward. Multiply the excess power and the degree of traction able to be produced even under spin conditions and there you have it enough force to keep the car in position and moving down the track even though the wheels are spinning.

Oh ya and I'm a ricer like your mom's not a street whore.


yea, well if it wasnt a terrible fast car i dont see a point in doing such a custom job (so custom ive never heard of it), plus the fact you made it seem like, he just ADDED IT ON, and im calling bullshit on the fact that its the same transmission and not a different one. heres the facts:

from what i can take of what your saying, he would need to completely disassemble the tranny and take the cluster shaft out, then what would be needed then would be a COMPLETELY NEW cluster shaft seeing as how you SHOULDNT just up and add new clusters on, and if you did your and idiot for working with worn parts, like putting NEW lifters and using the old pushrods..... then you would need a new shifter rail for both reverse and forward gears ( i think), and a new CASE because since the cluster shaft has been elongated unless you have a NEW output shaft to go along with it its not gonna fit in the case.... its a very lenghty process (THAT I HAVE NEVER EVEN 1 TIME HEARD OF ANYONE DOING CEPT IN OLD CARS). let alone in a old z that wasnt even anything special.

thats why i call bullshit, let alone when you make a STUPID ASS STATEMENT, like he could add ANOTHER ONE IN, now its time for a custom tranny case, and custom driveshaft, and custom clutch fork housing, with elongated clutch cable. im basing this off the fact the 300z is rwd, if it isnt then disregard this but its still bullshit. big floppy bullshit

oh and BLEACH MAKES IT POSSIBLE I SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT IT stop putting words in my mouth and listen. On regular slicks, without the aid of some sort, you arent gonna see smoke, when i put slicks om my mustang and took it down my sidestreet, i sidestepped it at like 4K, and blew tire until 2nd gear, but not a hint of smoke came up, and it DIDNT lift the front tires because i was all over the road. when i went to the track and did a 5 k launch and had NO SPIN the wheels came up like 3 inches but there wasnt a hint of smoke because I CAUGHT TRACTION


WITHOUT A WETBOX OR BLEACH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, and therefore thats what we poke at cause the CHARGER IN THIS CASE WAS ON THE ****ING STREET. i doubt after he hit johnny tran's brother he ran home and put bleach on his tires... its impossible without aid and thats that.
