What’s going on Soho and Admin?

Admin's video almost only focuses on blaming the copper gasket but the reasoning is half truths and skips over many issues. They show how the forged and heat treated piston head shows no heat damage completely skipping over the pitted oem valves.

Anyway I was most shocked by Admin's IAT timing adjustment, or lack thereof. There is no timing change from intake temp from -20C (-4F) to 70C (158F). That just seems so lazy or careless.

The owner got money, but all wrong decisions, why he bought SOHO engine and unknown turbo kit and let admin tune it? I would just let SOHO freestyle everything. All what the care is not about car at all, they don’t worth to tune out or drive a monster machine like this. All of them are not faithful at all, no respect to car

I have been driving Z for like 4 years now. I am a crazy guy, yes, not normal, psycho. I want a monster machine built by me, the unique car only belong to me, and it must be fast. I like to race on street, but what more important is to race with myself. I want the top speed, like WANGAN, I can do 160 cruise now but I want to hit 300. Right now I believe it is a very high standard NA 370, but I need more power. I have been putting a lot of dollars on her but I don’t feel it is enough. I really get addicted with her. For the haters who don’t have a better car, or driving experience like me just saying bad or “he gonna crash” they really don’t understand. If that really happens after, that’s ok, I accept the fate, and I will just rebuild her if I don’t die. Here is the thing, my car gonna be one of the best, fastest Z in the world, and I am the driver. For the guys who has a single exhaust shooting fire with NA, I don’t care what they think. They are just lower level how could they understand me? At least I don’t shot fire and I have a cat back exhaust with muffler, my neighbor don’t smash my window to warn I’m too loud.

I was asking because Akio here has previously mentioned Wangan Midnight as his inspiration, and I find it quite interesting, because Wangan Midnight is one of the worst car-animes out there. It's predictable, has a stupid plot, stupid story and even stupider deus-ex-machina solutions when there's a problem. In comparison, Initial D is one incredibly well made anime that also tells a similar story - connection of driver with his machine - but it's completely realistic, it sets realistic boundaries and it tells a good story, still interesting if you're above the age of 12.
