No, i made it to 73mph @29,034rpms. (friends dad has this wierd thing that attaches to your car/truck to tell top speed and rpms he made… mechanical engineer for 35 years… i have no clue how it works. i wish i had pics.)

And on that run it wasnt running all to good, and i was only using 33% fuel. and my clutch was foked. Ima try again when tax season comes… dump another 400 into it like last year haha

As said before, i dont have pics of the new setup on my rs4-2. But heres what it looked like prior. Had a Nitrostar .18 and 1 speed. awd belt broke. so i was burning out EVERYWHERE. shit was redic.

**Orig motor .15 gayness**

.21 W/Tuned pipe

**R34 Skyline body with LEDS**  
  
  
room i do all my rc / other crap in…  
  
  
  
  
  
All paint/decals done by me. Used wrong paint. and it chipping off everytime i use it, so i bought a new body and sparyed 2 coats of clear over it and put it on shelf to preserve it :rofl

When i got them… Work meisters S1 all chrome. +3/+9mm offsets.

Old Skyline body i sold on ebay 😢  
  
  
  
^Wing from The AE86 kit^

350z body i never painted:

Now the imfamous AE86. Behold, shitty black crackle paint! (NOT done on purpose. idk if you guys remeber, but earlier this year(09) a recall on black and white testor paint. WELL i got 3 cans of it. and this is what happened when it dried. ) Also the blue wing was from a AE85 i had a while back.

O hai Custom CF plate :excited

**HPI Rush Nitro Evo**. T.15 pullstart / HPI RS4-3 2spd tranny tuned pipe etc

HUGE parts pile i won on ebay worth over 300. 1 2spd tranny, .15/.18ss/.18OS motor. alot of suspension parts etc. 20 bucks :lol

And heres the last time i drove it before the motor swap:  
  
~35mph into a curb. broke a couple things and litterally cracked the rim in 4 places. took the tire off and it cumbled. :lol

-HPI Tuned Pipe  
-Front suspension  
-Rear suspension springs  
-Alum. Front diff mount
