    Aren’t most of those cars FF? Because I thought that Touge was like drifting where it only applied to Rear wheel drive cars.

    no david. Touge is like a mountain runs. drifting is an art. u don’t apply art when u want to attack the touge at ur best time ayte? :wink: FRs, FFs, MRs and 4WDs have their own advantages and disadvantages on the touge….FFs kinda have a slow entry speed into an apex but fast on the exit…. :wink: it would be a pleasure to explain more to u…

    Hey, what’s up people. Alex Tang here, a Malaysian Chinese student and touge enthusiast. Currently I’m just a Quantity Surveying student studying at Taylor’s College, so I can’t really afford to buy my own car, just have a Hyundai Accent RXS-5 that my Dad bought for me. But I’m studying really hard and saving up my money as one day, I would really love to get a Honda AP1 S2000 and tune it up to match the C-West Time Attack Prototype, with a full carbon fiber body, but adapted for touge racing. I LOVE high performance cars of all types, and the S2000 offers the best balance between speed and fuel economy/practicality. I’m also a serious touge enthusiast and would like to join your team one day when I have my S2000 and learn from all your great experiences. For now, I partly satisfy my huge thirst for touge racing by playing Initial D in the arcades, LOL. Nice, but nothing like the real thing, I know. Oh yeah, is that a Japanese Proton Satria there? It’s wearing a Japanese license plate. All right people, take care now and have fun. Keep the throttle pinned and those revs screaming for redline! GAMBATE NE!

    Best regards from Alex Tang,
    Fellow Malaysian Touge Enthusiast

    huhuhu, its a satria with mitsubishi mirage bodykit :wink: i love touge as other enthusiast do….urm, it’s okay to have ur current car. just u need some suspension tuning and some ultra racing bars to have a better handling….oh yes. a proper sports rims with a good tyres come into account as well :wink: proper exhaust systems and some minor engine tuning will make ur car more responsive….so….get on the mods and hit the touges….yeehaa!!!!

    LOL, I only get RM60 a week from my parents, how to pay for all that? Hmmm, perhaps I’ll mod my Hyundai a bit after I graduate and start working a few months. Or maybe I should just start saving up and go all the way to that S2000.

  8. Comment by shalie on October 2, 2007 12:40 pm

    hmm, need to keep money laa bro…. :sad: RM60 a week is killing u man….is like RM240 a month….u drive from home to college izzit? if stay far from home sure got enuff bucks to mod… :wink: S2000 is not an easy car to tame with….note tsuchiya struggling to tame the J’s Racing S2000 on touge max battle…. :smile:

    Hey all, I’m from South Africa, 20 years old and am studying graphic design here.

    Unfortunately touge racing isn’t really big here yet - in fact it doesn’t exist here yet - at least not that I’ve seen. What we do have is the usual track based circuit racing, drag racing, and the usual illegal street drag races, and of course rallys. All our motorsport is influence by either europe or america, and drifting is starting to take off here.

    But it flooded by wannabees, so the quality of it is pathetic, with only like 5 people who have decent skill. And there is present only one show dedicated to the car culture on public TV, and they often get the facts wrong, and feature the before mentioned wannabees and fanboys, they once called a porche GT3 a mazda rx7!

    The only thing that we do have that is close to touge here is the annual hill climb - which is always a highlight, and it happens once every year, its an official event where the entire pass is closed off and there are a huge range of cars present taking part. Its called “King of the Hill” and last year it featured one of 5 skylines GTR’s that exist in south africa.

    Unfortunately i do not own a car at the moment, most of my money is going towards my studies - and when I do get a car, it will probly be pretty old and cheap. But it will be tuned. And I will be doing something to get touge larger here

    I’ve got quite a bit of driving experience - been driving since I was 6, and was racing formula K gokarts when I was thirteen.

    If I may ask, is they last car a Proton Gen2 perhaps?

    Hi all. I’m from poland and here touge is not very popular, people like driftig and drag races they don’t understand me and few other (very few) touge fans. So I just need to talk which someone who understand what I love in touge.

    I love your cars, maybe when you will have time, write something more about them, is there an EG6 which b16b engine and EK which b18?

    Now I’m driveing 89′ Honda Prelude BA4 which B20A5 engine it produces 137hp and 172Nm of torque, i would like to put a 4WS (four wheel steering like it was in oryginal car, which it will be a touge monster :P, 100% better handling) and next year a H22A 200hp engine from newer JDM Prelude, and offcourse I need a beeter breaks and suspension.

    Cheers, It’s realy nice to meet ya guys :)

    hi Lukas! nice too meet you :wink: urm, here people also like to drift and drag :sad: only i managed to meet some touge enthusiasts here :smile: about the EG6, it is equipped with B16A :smile EK9 is with B16B and EK4 is with B16A2 :wink: the B18CR is from the DC2 integra type-R :wink: hope my brief explanation help u :wink: huhuhu….

  12. Comment by Lukas on December 26, 2007 9:06 pm

    I think people are scared of touge :P

    Yours car rocks! EG6 and CTR rulezz the world, but levin is good too, probably 4AGE I think :P

    Have you done something which suspension, what kind of tyres do you use, rims etc.

    Why you don’t have a forum? It would be easier to ask questions, and would help people to understand touges.

  13. Comment by shalie on December 27, 2007 1:44 am

    My tyres are yokohama A520 :wink: suspension is just a local made sports shocks with gas & air filled :smile: my rims are Buddy Club P1 Racing SF :smile: we don’t have a forum because we are only a small group :smile: and most of us are a bit shy…. :lol:

  14. Comment by Lukas on December 27, 2007 9:15 pm

    Not too small to have forum :P
    Shy? :P But you can write answers here, why not on the forum?
    It’s your choice, so I just need to ask questions here in comments :P

    About yours EG, I think is good setup, advans are best tyres ever.
    What about springs and sway bars? Do you have stock springs or shorter, if shorter then how much? What which sway bars, I’ve heard that eg6 is understeer, or maybe a little bit more neutral, i think it will be better have neutral characteristics or a little over but not under. How is your EG?

    My prelude is too much understeer so I just need to install bigger rear sway bar and 4WS on it, and then it will be more oversteer then under.

  15. Comment by shalie on December 28, 2007 3:05 am

    I am using a mitsubshi colt :smile: or another name is mitsubishi mirage cyborg-R. It may looks like an EG to you :wink: only my friend uses a honda EK sedan. But i do know some about hondas. i got an extra upper rear bars other than 3-point swaybars :smile:
