Sport Truck - Syclone - Other randomness...

[tyndago]

I may be building my Syclone up for the Hotchkis media challenge -with Joe Pettit from Sport Truck magazine.

After all a Syclone is a real Sport Truck....

I will probably need some help getting it all together... still need a cam , turbo , maybe some suspension stuff.

Should get coverage in Sport Truck magazine .

Was supposed to do a cover shoot with the F150 today - but weather was no good - so its pushed back to March 24th...

Also the $4000 challenge turned into a $5500 challenge. Contest was my sisters ideas , and I came up with the outline for the rules.... should be coming up in the coming months..

Got a new drag car - 1999 R34 GT-R ---- http://www.rbmotoring.com/raceteam/raceteam.html

Running the car stock up in Palmdale - ran a 13.1 best pass ..... parts are coming in today and next week... turbo kit , clutch , etc....

Should be making 600 ish hp to the wheels by the first NHRA race... I expect 10 second time slips... I have been 11.1 @ 131 on real street tires in an R32 and 10.7@137 on drag radials and nitrous...

this may be a dumb question, but what's it like driving a right hand drive car? was it hard to get used to, shifting with your left hand and all? I've always been impressed with skylines, and thought about owning one at some point. anyway, sounds cool. gonna get some vids of the new skyline in action?

Good luck Sean!!! Wish I could get out there and lend you a hand Thanks for getting us more ink. I'm sure you'll do a good job :wink: Gotta love AWD 6cyl turbo autos = skyline = fun.

Like I said maybe...

As far as right hand drive - for the last 3 years I have been driving cars - and I really dont even notice at all any more.

Its like driving a stick shift and then an auto car.... if you have to think about it maybe you are doing something wrong...

Brian Green has driven Skyline - Brian Fischer.... they had no problems....

BDubb has been around for all kinds of testing and racing in Skylines...
