Out Test Driving

Out Test Driving the custom Front Tower Strut & Rear Strut made by VIPCLK320 and the EVOSPORT Pulley Kit. Will test again in a few weeks after installing the Front and Rear H&R Sway Bar.

The best way I can describe the feeling is to say each curve made me say Ohhhh as if I was having a big @$$ orgasm from a bj. The whole car from front to back came into the curve ever so smoothly, it was really a new and wonderful experience. Some of the pictures may be a little unclear and tilted as my girlfriend was being thrown around in my car while she was trying to take pictures. I could go into the curves hard and maintain what ever line I chose to come in and out of. Did not have to worry about waiting to adjust from any body roll or flex.

Thanks man

It is called Izu Skyline..you should be able to find many bike racing videos.
Many people die on this mountain, both cars and bikes from running off the side of the mountain.

My next test when I get the Front and Rear Sway bars installed will be on Mt. Okutama where Tokyo Drift mountain scene was filmed.

Nothing at all, you're the same cool cat that you have always been, but that doesn't make up for holding out on the mad picture taking skills you possess...

Hi Williams.

You've GOT to post pictures from your next test. Not just for the famous location, but because you live in such a beautiful place (as you can tell I'm all about the outdoors)!

Oh, and please can you include external shots of your car. she's a Beauty!
