Taz_Rx Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Went out to simmons yesterday to watch a work mate race in his 2jztte XU1 torana....if you haven't seen the vid I put up of it befor, here it is..... http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b396/taz_rx/torana/ >Steves rana He went out with another guy he knew in an R33 GTR, and they wanted to see which was faster. After 4 laps the 'rana pulled maybe 15-20 seconds clear front the GTR!!!!!! Although in the skylines defence, the tyres on it were shagged - were Continental sportscompacts2 which are only available in Japan, hence car was imported 5+ years ago with these tyres on it! Steve's best for the day was a 1:06! Now some of you would have seen this corona befor, he regularly goes to the drags and track days. If you haven't seen it befor it has a 1ggtte which ran low 14's on the twins. Last time I saw it at the drags he had this big single on and dropped to high 12's!!! :jamie: anyway, he's continued to mod it, now has custom plates, front splitter, same wheels - WIDENED (3 piece), and a decent amout of flaring!!! Looks very tough now IMHO. something very different for a corona anyway! Rear wheels now look to be at least 8"s! And one more pic of it sitting next to a very neat little ke10 which had a twin weber fed 4age. Although the corona runs 12 second quarters, the little rolla never left his arse around the track!!!
