[@mattteee2973]

@@D4VE26 Yeah I feel like they've gone well past the price point that made them cool in the first place now. I sold my SR swapped sil80 just before tokyo drift came out, thinking that would be peak hype pricing. How wrong I was!

Love the decent cyclist overtakes, much appreciated! And you should take off the protective plastic off your mic haha

[@thefishbiscuit14]

Yesss, as a cyclist and car enthusiast it's great to see someone in the car world who doesn't see bikes as the "enemy". After all it's really not hard to overtake safely is it, and it could mean the difference between killing a person or not if there's a sudden pothole or something. Loved Danny on the car throttle podcast, especially reading out the anti-cyclist email that some gammon had sent in 😂

[@TheMick26]

Hey Danny.🖐 Really enjoyed this one, mate. We had that body style over here, but didn't get the proper engine, so they didn't get a second glance from me. Gav's car on the other hand, looks good and sounds nice. I saw it bring a smile to your face on several occasions and that's what matters most. Sounds like the turbo is properly sized for the engine as well, stays on boost after gear changes and not laggy. Besides the power, I like the colour combo, RPF1s, big front brakes and 3-piece rear wing. Looks like a fine example of what a Silvia should be.👍 I was expecting it to bottom out on some of those bumps too, but it didn't. Appears to be very well-sorted for being that low. At one point, you mentioned possibly having a rating system a like Doug score, but I like the way you summed this one up. Good car. Keeping it simple is usually best. Either "Good Car" or "Less Than Ideal".😉 BTW, thanks for the humour here and on IG. Amos Moses, lil' layumb, and passed around like the village bike.😂 I was expecting village wench, but you kept it classy. haha. Have a good evening, Dan.

[@dannyDC2]

You’ve hit the nail on the head with the rating system Mick! Let’s KISS then we’ll keep it simple

[@MRJZA75_34]

Drive normally and apply the brake pedal to create load on the engine and drivetrain, once you have built enough boost (depending on peak boost) release brake pedal while pressing the accelerator pedal. (enter wild turbo nosies)= BRAKE BOOSTING FUN

[@MrNurdiboy]

Who doesn’t love a good “choo choo”? 🤙🏻

[@TB.JCE10]

Loved this format mate. The early S14s are my favourite of all the S chassis stuff and this one, although a bit stancey, looks perfect imo (minus the stretch lol). For the rating system, i don't know how essential it is but something simple would work. Rank each section, suspension/chassis, brakes/wheels and tires, engine, interior, exterior etc like 1-3. Maximum score, anything over say 12 gets the official Good Car™ status lol

[@jonathanchevallier7046]

The question of if a car is worth it’s new worth is one I’m constantly asking myself with the way car prices are going! I mean I’d love an 86 but for 15k? Idk

[@Gcheung88]

Does love for the car overweigh the price tag is the question, I would happily pay the price of a ae86 right now as the love for one is strong 💪🏼

[@thedownshiftchannel]

@@Gcheung88 yeah I mean essentially that’s what drives the price up because so many of us desire a certain thing the market is competitive. It’s easier to pick a car you’re less into and say it’s not worth the money people ask for it but once your hearts in it it’s gonna win you over

[@Dranreb865]

[@daedalus_20v]

You've already experienced it, but to clarify the idea behind it, "brake boosting" is (usually) done to maintain a certain speed while spooling up the turbo(s). I've got a ~600bhp B5 S4 fed by two relatively large turbos. Turbo technology has come a long way, and even at this power level, modern turbos would be a different story, but this is an old build, and my GT2860's take some time to wake up. So let's say you want to race your mates on a dual carriageway. You both line up at 80kmh (or whatever) and "1,2,3 go." If you picked the right gear, there's a short wait for the turbo(s) to come online, pressurize the intake, and off you go. But.... By brake boosting instead, you can maintain the 80kmh while using the throttle to bring the turbo(s) online _before_ the "1,2,3 go." And _now_ when you go, you _GO!_ Because you're already making boost and all that power is _right there._ It really only makes a difference on "big turbo" cars that have traded off responsiveness for top end power, like my S4 or this S14. Modern (esp. OEM) turbos spool almost instantly.
