Q: What does “TurboAWD” mean?
It means “Turbocharged All Wheel Drive”. It best describes the cars I like and actually describes all the cars that I have right now. All of them are turbocharged and all wheel drive.
Q: Why are the horsepower and torque figures listed “at the wheel”?
Because I have access to a Dynojet 4 wheel dyno at AutoPlus Sportzentrium. And besides, to me the power that is at the wheel is more important than engine horsepower.
Q: Why did you convert a perfectly good GTR to left hand drive?
I live in a country where right hand drives are illegal to be driven in the roads. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and do the conversion.
Q: Then why do a custom conversion when you can buy a converted LHD GTR from UAE?
I wanted the conversion to be perfect. I don’t want to be driving a GTR around and staring at a Maxima or Bluebird dashboard. I don’t want to activate the turn signals with my right hand and operate the wiper with my left.
Q: What possessed you to do such things to the cars?
Well, I can’t seem to get satisfied with a stock car. I think you feel the same if you are visiting my site. I always want to get more out of the car. Whether power, handling or cosmetics. Although the cosmetics part is hard because some like it and some don’t. But the bottom line is, if I like it, then it’s ok.
Q: Why don’t you just buy a European exotic car and just enjoy it?
You think I will be satisfied with enjoying a stock exotic? The fact that the way I answered the previous question should be reason enough for me to not even think about buying an exotic. Who knows what I would do.
Q: How much did you spend on each car?
Truthfully, I don’t remember and I don’t want to remember. It kind of takes the enjoyment out of it.
Q: I am doing a project somewhat similar to yours. Can I email you for some information?
By all means. That is what this website is for. My email is manuel@turboawd.com.ph.
