Title: Super Fogged
Post by: grog on Wednesday, 01 September 2021, 06:36 PM
Nothing really exciting but this morn rode to work in biggest fog ive seen in 40 years. Totally soaked, glasses wet inside and out. Bike runs so well with extra humidity. Chamois bike over, cleaned visor and glasses, all good. Toyota in pic, justt on 700 bhp, were about equal, only on closed tracks.  :grin: Was a great little ride. Find me a better bike, ill buy it.

What clutch cover have you got Grog, looks trick.

That supra in the background is cool, they're rare now, saw one for sale all original  70K plus.

Awesome engines in those

Eric, stock clutch cover, just photo playing tricks. Supra far from stock, turbo is huge. 700 at wheels.

That sounds like pretty intense fog by Aussie standards mate.

Supra's don't float my boat. But that power is impressive !

Very respectable power from a straight 6 2JZ-GTE with forced induction, vvti and bullet proof bottom end these make power so easily and without the weight of a bent eight.

Shame they don't make them anymore, even the new ones have a 2l 4cyl option  but with more tech twin scroll turbo chargers.  Still have the 3.0l In line 6 but only an auto trans.

I had a 4 cyl sportivo hatch, 144kW dohc, vvti-l in a car that was 1100kg. 6sp manual, just a real driving pleasure. Redline 8500rpm, the fun started at 6250rpm.
