ok basically.. they where confused by the whole 'import' thing and that it didnt need SVA test, so they didnt test the exhaust emissions i don't think lol as i said no CAT so they said they won't bother ?!

Anyway the trick i was told was to leave the air con on on full blast and that would help it through emissions if they did test it.. but i didnt see them!

R32 GTR would be better IMO

and most things if not beeeeeeefed up will feel a bit slow compared to suzie


how powerfull was suzie? 350bhp werent she? hmm u'd be suprised what a 300bhp rx7 would do to that 350bhp suzie... the rx would tear her apart. the RX7 ways 1250kg, supra? around 1500kg!!!!!

How did that shut me up? i got what power he had wrong.. that still doesnt mean a 300bhp rx won't rip a 350bhp supra apart.. same as a 400 bhp rx7 will prob do suzie at 480bhp! It's all power/weight.

yea wow haha he really shut me up!
