Super Fast: Hondata Breaks Records - Intel December 2008
News, Rumors 11 Stuff We Made Up
Classic Super Street
We'll always remember this issue as the grand debut of a Mr. Kelvin Tohar, a long-time favorite of the industry and current marketing rep for Toyo Tires. His del Sol pretty much nailed all of the hot trends: loud graphics, aero styling so loud you could see it coming from a mile away and a turbocharged B16A. We took a spin in what would ultimately be the last generation of the Toyota Supra Turbo and gave insider knowledge on how to purchase used JDM engines from engine importers.
Tetsu's Tales
NISMO sells "NISMO club sport package" - tuning parts set for R35 GT-R. It has suspension, wheels/tires, carbon seat brackets, titanium exhaust system and NISMO emblem. The price of tuning parts set for R35 GT-R is 5460000yen (including installation fee); don't forget - R35 GT-R is 7770000 yen. If I bought GT-R and Nismo parts, I need to pay over $100000US. I drove GT-R and that was a very nice car. I understand the high price of the NISMO parts set or GT-R because Nissan and NISMO's engineers developed the parts and NISMO chose top quality materials for making good quality parts. All Japanese tuners and tuning companies say it is difficult for develop tuning parts for GT-R. That means GT-R denies fake parts. If you put fake parts on R35 GT-R you will lose power. I know GT-R is very good car but I can't say "buy GT-R" for Super Street readers because that is too expensive. Toyota and Nissan will sell compact FR coupe in 2010 or 2011. Toyota and Subaru develop compact FR coupe jointly now. Engine will be Subaru's EJ20 NA motor. Nissan's new FR coupe will have 2000cc NA motor or 1600cc turbo motor. Both of these car's power will be between 200ps and 250ps and priced around $20000 US. I can't get any information for Nissan's new FR coupe yet, but Toyota and Subaru customized a Subaru Legacy (which looks like a short body and coupe style Legacy) as a concept and are testing now. Toyota's executive vice president, Mr. Akio Toyota likes cars very much. He took part in Nuerburgring 24 hours enduro race with Lexus IS 250. Rumor says Mr.Toyota said Toyota needs new AE86 that's why Toyota started to develop new compact sport FR car. Japanese car magazines say Toyota's new compact FR coupe will be next generation of AE86 and the owners will be able to enjoy modifying new AE86. New AE86 and Nissan FR coupe (new SILVIA?), I expect two cars now - but 2010 or 2011? That is too long. Please sell them by end of this year!www.myspace.com/oted15
