Still cannot stand NY but came to enjoy HK Same here. I really hated COTA in those slippery GT-R's. Running the MP-X on it almost made me dizzy. It's the only track/car combination that I can honestly say is too fast for me.

I like HK, especially in cars like the RX-3. Off topic. But back in the day (late 80's early 90's) with a Z18 powered(brought for 500bux with nothing done to it bar some clever add-ons) Datsun 1600, we actively sought rotary powered cars(there was a VW powered 'rotary' that smoked so many V8s!) for some giggles. Our nemesis back then was PACMAN(AKA Pac Preformance). RX3's were always looked for to race in "illegal street racing" by us in 'the Datto'. In fact, if it was powered by a rotisserie(what we called them along with "chook cookers"), we HAD to "line em up!"

Frank and Rocco(Pac Performance) and their crew were bad ass racers with the fastest rotors back then(they are still the benchmark in AU!) and we always raced against them in the hope(they had the money but my best mate had the brains with the datto) we'd shame them with factory motors bought from a wrecking yard(shamed pretty much every V8 etc back then) for bragging rights. My best mate's best run back in the day was a 12.2 at Eastern Creek. Which at that time was insanely quick for a factory turbo'd Z18. He quickly earnd a reputation as "street sleeper that will embarrass you rather likely".

So, just this past wednesday he ran his final runs in his 1200 Post powered with a factory SR20. He cut a .000 in his 2nd run out after many months of the  Datto Post sitting and gathering dust. He scooped the pool for best reaction time(yet again!) In fact, he is that good of a driver, that rules for prizes were changed on the basis of his expertise to "get off the line" fastest and he would take prizes every week.

Well, the old 230oddHP SR20 is now being removed in favor for his very first "ground up rebuild" of a probable(at worst) 650HP  SR20(turbo will pump 750max at flywheel and factory crank will handle 900). Old scabby motor(factory with an intercooler tacked on and some injected metho into intake with an AM ECU) was hitting mid 10.9. Slide rule shows the new motor will be grabbing mid to high 8's straight off. Whilst it wont be the fastest, it'll be spectaclur to watch(street registered Skyline here runs sub 8 EASY). Sorry about the derail. But when it comes to 'dfrag racing', I am NUTS.
