N12 Turbo Forums

Hi I m matt and this is our car named the panda have been working on it for 5+ years and it hasnt seen teh road in a year hopefully soon this will change


This is what we started with


then decided to make room for the planned cooler


meh that looked gay so we had more work to do


a nice set of 15s off my little brother ET and what i always wanted a black Bonnet and PANDA was born...the car was well known around launceston.

Then a nice set of 17s to set it off was in order


It still wasnt enough and after a run in with a Audi TT(and then OWNING IT!!!!)
the piston rings said 'MEH NO MORE ASSHOLE LEAVE ME THE F*&K ALONE'

next step FULL rebuild engine, interior, suspension(again) brakes Respray etc etc

15 sec... Dude... i got a 14.6 with almost none of the mods you have! You should be aiming for 13's. You should get it easily.

lol actually i dont think ill even take it to the strip not interested in drag racing im building it for symmons plains i wanna go fast round corners i only said 15 cos i dont think it wil have any traction for the strip anyay and plus it seems people only measure how Fast ur car is by drag times when u own a N12 lol

the reason people build there car for drag is cause its a lot eayser to race at a drag strip for 13-14 sec then 20-30 min around a track. and drag is mostley about motor ( thats weat most people htink any way) and its cheaper form of racing. but u better take it to the track u stooge cause i wanna c wat it does lol

geez if its not u pressuring me its dave lol

nice car dude! if you were to take it to the strip you should get into the late 12's, anyway, you'll have more fun at a track, as long as you can make it handle and brake half decent. i live 20minutes from winton raceway, and i wouldn't take my car there coz it handles like a sponge and brakes like truck. later

yeh i forgot to mention i have all new poly bushes and whiteline gear so hopefully it wont handle like a sponge....hopefuly lol

*cough* coilovers *cough*

yes for sure when i get more cash and make sure the thing even runs lol
