Don't know if this the right forum to post this in, but I was checking out Spike TV saw a preview for Bull Run. Noticed a s14 so I went to the website and this is what I found

http://www.spiketv.com/shows/bullrun/galleries/teams/t12-1.html

they have a walk through video, the guy seems a little retarded. i dont think he did any of the work and had someone else do it (just got that kinda vibe, maybe im wrong)

anyways it looks pretty sweet inside and out nonetheless...

check it out!
 
I noticed this too, I just didn't make a thread at the time.

When you look at his mod list, it says single turbo conversion using some sort of T4, but two mods later says "custom downpipe routed around the power steering (IIRC) to allow for twin turbo setup". There were other things I noticed, but can't remember now.

I'm watching the show tonight, I think it'll be interesting at least.

they could of put a bigger turbo on it, but it doesnt look all that bad. Ill actually watch the whole series of this show. The Challenges seem pretty interesting. Go check out Goldbergs car collection. that man has too much money.

erm... i'd rather have a mediocre turbo thats meant for the power range.... its not a car looking for peak power but usable power.
 
The only females on the show just got eliminated...awesome. At least the flag girls are still hot.

The RB sounds good...I guess it's hard not to have an RB sound good though.

Take a look at the modlist on spike though...pretty funny to read. I don't know if it was a misunderstanding on spike's part, or if the guy just doesn't know what he's talking about. Apparently I can't connect to the bullrun website, so I can't get a link.
 
Watching it right now. The S14 made that hot chick fall on her ass. What an asshole! haha I guess they got their hands on the uber-rare JDM RB26 V6.
That was the other thing I saw but forgot about haha

spike tv doesnt do anything with tuners, wait they had a honda on horsepower like in 04 and all they did to that thing was intake, rims, body kit, nitrous! etc etc. i think its a mixture of both, the guys paid someone to do the work.
make an rb sound good? all rbs sound awesome! IMO and many others...

I was sorta surprised to see a TC in there and a 4door civic. i was thinking someone would of used a EVO or STI. If I were to of done the show or thought about it. I do a car that gets great gas mileage. (built in navigation) but also with good power.
 
Probably part of the rules that you can't "cheat" with a gps or a radar detector unit to make things more interesting if you can call it that.

the only rule i heard that was spoken out loud was that of the course selection, if you took the highway you had to adhere to the highway and if you took my way then you had to avoid the highway at all times.
the show got to me at some points, just makes me wanna go do it and piss them off with how careless i would be about it.
 
I cant stand this show. This is what its like to me..

"Hey guys, lets participate in a road rally where individual time is the most important factor. And while we do it, instead of focusing on driving lets make stupid jokes into the camera and talk about how boring Montana is or chat with the Scion chicks on our radios!"

The S14 team is still my favoritest damn team of all. Know why?

They didint have even 1/4 of the camera time of the other teams, and they came in first for the first leg. which means they focus on HAULING ASS! and not performing for the camera.
