I finally got around to posting a picture of air scoop on my car. Not the best picture but you can see the air scoop. Maybe its psychological, but i definitely feel a difference in power especially going over speed of 160 kph. Anyone else feels it?

Nice car, there's something about the wing and the hips that makes this car absolutely gorgeous......Hummm!!

Where did you pick that scoop up?

john, where in hell do you drive the GT3 in taipei?
last time i was there visiting relatives, i can only do 60kph from the airport all the way into "won hua" (translated the chinese charactores TEN THOUSAND HUA).

TEN THOUSAND HUA???

Wow that must be one BIG family picture

Change "power" to "downforce" and you're talking about my RS wing!

...must be psychological.

mooty

oops, i was asking for it.

but that is the district in taipei i grew up. i must be one of those HUA's

John,

Who installed those air scoop for you? Did you know they also offer them in carbon fiber? You must take your GT3 to Young Ming Mountain a lot. It's a blast to drive there.

mooty

young ming mountain (damn, we sure translate these things!!!)

i was there last year, what time were you doing the "blasting"? i can only do 30-40kph. too much traffic, too many motorcycles, too many drainage ditch at the side of the road.

though no cops ;-)... erh... i mean they were all OK, when i bribed them after getting pulled over. the fun never ends in asia.

I don't even want to know how much your GT3 costs in Taiwan with the insane import duty.

And then there's the cost for a parking spot in Taipei, which I am sure is insane.

Years ago when my dad was stopped going 220km/h on the highway by the Taiwanese Highway Patrol dudes with their MP5's, I thought we were in big trouble, and the dude simply said that the speed limit is 90km/h, not 220km/h, and wrote a ticket.

It is way better in Thailand. They have smooth, nicely paved toll roads that are basically empty late at night and early on weekend mornings.

And if you get pulled over, it's only 500 baht or some Marlboros.

Too bad a GT3 there costs 300K U.S.

The last time I was in Yang Ming San, I was still eating guai guai, and it cost 5 NT for a pack.

mooty

"guai guai", man took me a while to figure it out.
i had way too much of those, while watching cartoon.

ok, back to GT3 contents.

john0719

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I also think that the rear of the GT3 is just so so sexy and mean all at the same time

Mooty, you would be surprised of all the places you could drive the GT3 in and around Taipei. I usually take it to the mountian road in Pin Shi, just outside of Taipei. 25 km of twisties each way up and down the mountain which amazingly I can get up to speed of 140~150km on the short straights. Though there are lots of bikers (not talking about the little sheeps, the 50cc type scooters, but over 1000cc race bikes) on these road nowadays. But I give these bikers a run for their money

Btw, I live in Tien Mu section of Taipei, which would translate as "Heavenly Mother"
