roll center adjusters spacers between strut base and steering arm, used to return steering geometry back to normal after other modification of suspension, to prevent bump steer. does not change camber

wtf does an integra spin the rear wheels?
-
haha i swear i had a whole registered ke25 around here somewhere :S consider getting your engine machining done somewhere, but built it yourself. you'll save heaps on labour. if i did it, anyone can always good to hear another corolla project see the light of day :wootjump:

no retort means i win, yay i'm the biggest internet retard :S
-
that was heaps of fun. we definately have to do that at least 4 times a year :S

definately different tailshaft, both in spline and length. see if you can get the auto tailshaft for your car. if you ask on oldcorollas yahoo group, some of the guys might even have old auto ke55 bits to sell you?

4agte Engine Into A St141 Corona
Super Jamie replied to Cooled Corona's topic in Automotive Discussion
here's a site you will find infintely useful to discipher what all these mean http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Pit/9975/tm_index.html -
now if you go to sell it, you can get like 50 bucks more for it :S
-
very pretty :S blue goes well
-
i'd race it
-
haha pwnd :S

STUDY SHMUDY TIME TO HANG OUT IN THE SUN AND LOOK AT CHICKS :wootjump: righto, the plan is to meet in front of hungry jacks on cavill mall at about 12. i'm just gonna park in the $10 undercover paid parking next to mcdonalds, hope there's spots left :S seeyas tomorrow!

haha. trust me, a naturally aspirated 4k makes plenty of crankcase vapours. especially when you rev them hard (over 6500) and the rings start to float and you get more blowby than under normal conditions

winding off the tacho is cool yo :S

GM had alot of problems with their LS1 when it came out as well. and it's not like they were trying anything new and dynamic either (like mazda were in the 70s) it's a f@$king pushrod V8! does this mean LS1s are crap and a waste of time? despite the fact that the problems have now been worked out and the engines have a well publicised reputation for making big reliable power? tellya what, when you can convince the world that the Gen III V8 is a waste of time, i'll concede that rotors are a waste of time as well you can start with all the guys who are running 9s in street driven Holden utes, and all the performance manufacturers (who know alot more about engines and business than you or i do) who are making bolt on performance kits for them

i know you're talking but all i hear is "blah blah blah" :S nobody's disputing rotaries use more fuel (especially ported ones). i can legally put a 12a in my car, i can also get my hands on a 12a cheaply, and have been offered sideplates from one of australia's most powerful bridgeports of the 90s (rainbow rotaries' pink motor if anyone knows it). but i'm not going to. because i don't want to spend 80 bucks a week just driving around doing stuff which costs me 20 bucks now i will agree that earlier rotaries were unreliable pieces of shit. the only good thing about a 10a is that you can put one in a ke10. you'll recall that in their early days, piston motors had such great features as leather combuston rings, no exhaust springs, sidevalve heads, and ran massive compressions such as 3:1! 25 years into their development, you could coax a massive 100hp out of 350 cubes of v8 - feel the power. in their early days, piston motors were pieces of shit too by the time the late 80s rolled around, rotary technology had improved to a level where you could get just as much life and reliability out of a rotor than a piston engine. with all the knowledge and parts and machining processes available these days, you can build a rotor which not only makes heaps of power, but will hold together against all odds. when they first came out, they did have problems, and this created alot of public sentiment that rotaries were crap. this isn't the case today, but all the old guys who saw rx2s with f@$ked seals after a few tens of thousands of km still go around saying rotaries are shit i can show you a worked 4k which has done a little over 140,000km and is about ready to retire. i can show you a bridgeport 12a which is almost about to tick over 130,000km and showing no signs of slowing down. both engines would have been built about the same time. which is better now? ps: try lifting a 4ag with your bare hands. f@$k that.

when you get up to professional japanese D1 levels, drifting is very interesting. it's insane how much they punish those cars, how they hold them on the limit pretty much all the time, and the massive driver skill level involved. seriously, watch hpi9. i thouht "oh. 90 minutes of drifting. yay. not." and at the end of it i was amazed tangent. a drift setup greatly depends on driving style. some people use braking and engine torque to start a drift and hold it, some are better at flicking in at higher rpm and holding the car in a narrow powerband

4 subwoofers in a ke30 is gay because it goes against the theme of the car. it's not a new car, it shouldn't have things like stereos and electronic boost controllers and big bling chromie wheels. it has bumpers, not "bars", and everything is metal like it should be. it should be a car that is about handling and engine power in a small lightweight package, not stupid modern rice like subwoofers and neons, that belongs in crappy wrong-wheel-drive hatchbacks with milo tin exhausts

what a deadset heap of shit
-
there's nothing like having an engine that revs well high, it's amazing to see. i still can't believe my little 4k can wind off the tacho. it must be crazily fun having an 11k rpm 20v :wootjump: almost makes me want to build one, just for the fact that i'll need a cool smiths tacho :S

oh dear god there are tears in my eyes :wootjump: <blazemore> omg i love this song <blazemore> Now playing: Unknown Artist - Track 2 @ 128 Kbps. (0:47/3:24) <Javi> blazemore: yeah, that's a bad ass song <Paradox> So, guys, I have some news. <Paradox> I know I usually don't talk much about stuff unless it's solid, but this is interesting, and I think you should know. <Paradox> I just got an E-mail about an interesting proposition. * volsung_ perks up. <Paradox> Apparently, there are lesbians that want my 'hard cock.' * volsung_ flips Paradox the bird. <volsung_> :S <Paradox> They want it 'now,' apparently, so the timetable is somewhat limited. <volsung_> Are you going to just take their offer as presented, or is there an opportunity for negotiation? <Paradox> I'm not sure. <volsung_> I'm sure your hard cock is in great demand. An exclusive deal might not be in your best interest. <Paradox> Last time I got an offer like this, there were some catches. <EyesofPrisms> and ou are an uytter newb <KC48348751> dude <KC48348751> how did that y move over like 12 characters
