ive just dropped my car off to backdraft for more work. hopefully lookin at 450 bhp.i know too much power = too much wheel spin. need to get more pics up as ive done a bit more mods before i dropped the car off such as polished water cap,washer cap, oil cap, power steering cap, strut caps and polished oil dipstick cap. everything cap cap cap lol.oh and i removed the leon badge on the boot and put BDM 400 instead it looks rather good.

450bhp would be too much power when pulling away, but when you're cruising I would imagine it would be pretty awesome.

What was the torque-steer like beforehand? I recall you said you fitted an LSD but I also recall seeing Clarkson test the new Focus RS which has (supposedly) a very good LSD and only 300hp and it still suffers bad torque-steer. Personally I kinda like fighting the torque-steer in my LCR, and it's going to have half of the power of yours at this rate :D

Have you ever seen the video of the Top Secret Skyline GTR that they tested in a tunnel in Tokyo? It had too much power to put down off of the line, but when it was moving he could floor it and it took off. Awesome car!

when pulling away it spins alot but it feels amazing like you said i love fightin it aswell lol.only first gear span alot second gear onwards im flying. when im spinning on first im side to side with an 08 plate s3 and he aint spinning at all lol.and im spinning all through first gear.the other night my car did 160 and it was scary as hell so much power still there it was going side to side a bit.didnt even do full revs it was definitely going off the clock but would have definitely ended my life lol

I'd love to have a go in that! I love the fact that the camera car is doing 90mph and the Skyline just roars past him and knocks him a metre to the side with the air coming off of the car!

Yeah, and Bugatti spent a fortune researching how tyres would cope on a 1000hp car when they could've just asked the Skyline tuning community :D Catch up Bugatti!

Most probably not, no. My LCR is completely standard so there's not much point. I'd like to know what it is actually putting out, but I don't have the pennies at the moment to find out (or the spare time). Lincs meet this Sunday and Derbys meet next Weds and that's it for me for now
