How to get 1 1/2 tone of steel moving at 250kph+

**Zapf** · 28th July 2005, 23:25

I know this is a bike forum, but I am selling off my cage... so I have more $$$ for bike.... hence... if anyone feel like the urge to move at great speed wraped in glass and steel then here is your best beat.

holy fuk..
I'll give ya 15 bucks for it, since it's not a bike..

how much have you done to it (what was on it when you bought it)?
And how much money are you gonna loose on that? Tis a nice machine.. bet my bike would keep up with it tho

Nice ride dude but my 2080kg 1955 F100 already does that speed - ok 147mph which is a fartskin slower.

Discount for KBers?

wow, very very nice... if I ever brought a cage it would be either Skyline, a Mustang or a Capri... I doubt you'll have any problems selling it, it looks mint and seems you've put a LOT of effort, time and money into it...

Nah, its a skyline, we can still go past it on a bike

**Two Smoker** · 29th July 2005, 18:46

**unhingedlizard** · 29th July 2005, 19:46

Nice.
I did eacatly the same, sold me Ute, brought a nice red car and now am saving for a TL.

Very nice, not my thing though... maybe a TVR (pity I have to fix them) or a Lotus. Cant lean them tho...

You work on TVR's and Lotus's?? Wow man......

Are the TVR really the R18 violent fantasies they are reputed to be?? (mad crazy power that needs expert control)

yep... its a skyline.... abit not a normal skyline... normal ones are slow I agree...

with this one u won't have much luck with the CBR250

the turbine will suck u up and spit u out the back

Its got stuff all traction for that kind of power... 2WD...

but once it gets going its a flat torque curve for the upper half of the rev range... it pulls like a train... and its know to over take while going up hill at national park all the cars in open road passing lanes in one go...

There fun little toys, at $60k, second hand they should be!
BUT, its still a British car, with all that that implies!
Who would buy a car named after a dog? (Rover v8)
The new TVR's don’t use rover engines any more tho, they now make there own straight 6, V8 or if you’re a sick, power hungry madman you can get a V12!
If you get one, change the shocks, re-do the wiring loom and give it to the guys at Gizmo to do the computer!
Fucken lethal in the wet... or dry! But make the most beautiful sound I have ever heard from a car!
The Lotus is a road going go-kart! Not that fast (in comparison with others in the same league) But will go around corners as fast as we can! Well, nearly anyway...
Stick with bikes, more bang for your buck!
