  1. I think he means he wants to see like circuit racing cars. Not dirt rally cars.
  2. Why rally don't count? Rally cars are cool.
  3. More info about this sort of car I still want one.
  4. ... and I don't care how well or not well they go, or whether they handle or not. I want one.
  5. Bugger, that sucks! Hope the insurance covered it, maybe now you can get even better stuff :)
  6. Oh yeah, it's 10 slices, and 2 crusts. The crusts are really good to just munch on, when you don't feel like having "proper" raisin toast :) Wow, looking up the nutritional information on the back of my big loaf of bread, 2 slices of SUPER RAISIN TOAST, not including the butter, equates to: Average weight: 150g Energy: 1756kJ, 420Cal Protein: 11.2g Fat - Total: 6.4g Fat - Saturated: 1g Carbohydrate - Total: 76g Carbohydrate - Sugars: 19.6g Total Dietary Fibre: 5g Sodium: 390mg I like raisin toast.
  7. Let's dig up an old topic. Recently I've found the bestest most amazing and satisfying (and probably unhealthiest) breakky ever: RAISIN TOAST Now every Monday morning I go to Coles, and pick up a loaf of 1" INCH RESTAURANT SULTANA 900g, by the Gold Coast Bakery. That's right, folks, it's a loaf of bread that weighs a good 900g. And in it, are 10 slices of 1" thick raisin toast goodness. The expiry dates on the toast work well too, as they last for 5 days, which equates to 2 slices of raisin toast with butter every morning. Mmm. That, and a big mug of tea with honey, keep me going all the way to lunchtime and beyond. For the first time ever, I've found a breakfast that almost always keeps me up and going till lunchtime :) I fully endorse this :D Although I'm almost certain I should try not to have it with butter, cause that's like, unhealthy and stuff. :D
  8. Shegel: No no, not the width, but the profile. Looks bigger than standard. I'm guessing they're like, 195/60R14's or something.
  9. That's cool. 2 door coupes aren't too common anymore, and yours looks to be in pretty good shape. What size are the tyres? They look too big for the car, but oh well :)
  10. Very hard to engineer a bike engine in a car, due to emissons problems (bikes are complianced differently to cars). I have no doubt that a Hyabusa engine would probably be better than a K engine in terms of emissions, but unfortunately what I think isn't enough to convince "them people who govern the ADRs", so you'll have to go through the whole process of emissions testing, which costs a lot of money.
  11. Does this count? :) WAGZ-O-DEATH!!!
  12. Are you sure that lip isn't the leftovers of the old seal? I don't remember having any problems when I replaced the seals in my diff (which should be the same, if not very similar, as yours)
  13. I gave up after about 30 seconds :P
  14. I'm still using the same tyres as I was before :P Except now they're kinda balder than they were before...
  15. If I'm not mistaken that's for the cold air idle. Normally you plumb coolant lines into there. I've got mine plated as well, cause I'm not running those lines.
  16. Nothing else has changed apart from gearbox and diff. Same wheels and tyres.
  17. You could change the font and put like, big block text, that would be pretty funky. Or you could add a "0" after all the numbers so it looks like you're going really fast. Or, you could just have on your speedo: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc... and then at the bottom, in true tacho style, have "x10" :P I should stop having ideas.
  18. Maybe you can take the odometer apart and make little "ring" stickers to go over the numbers so that those can be white and pretty too! And might as well reset it all to 000000 while you're at it :P
  19. I'm trying to work out my speedo calibration at the moment, and I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if I haven't been to school for too long, or maybe I'm right and my original speedo is very off. Basically, I'm assuming my speedo is calibrated for a 4.11 diff. I'm now running a 4.77. I have a terratrip, so have speed readings from that, and basically I know that in comparison to my current speedo, it reads a bit like: real speed - speedo 60 - 80 70 - 90 85 - 110 100 - 130 110 - 140 Or something like that anyway. Now, ignoring that information, I tried to work it out from a mathematical point of view. So I'm guessing it would be: (speedo reading) = ((real speed) x 4.77) / 4.11 Is that right? I tried to match it up against the graph that my in-gear-calculator-excel-file-thing makes, and it seems right. But this formula brings up: real speed - speedo 60 - 69 70 - 81 85 - 99 100 - 116 110 - 128 These readings are quite different to what I'm getting at the moment, unless my current speedo (assuming I was running a "stock" 4.11 diff) is about 10km/h out? When I was running the stock 4.11 diff I did remember comparing it to the Terratrip and thinking it was pretty much on the money... And if my speedo readings are right, then the speedo would be calibrated for a 3.67 diff... Unless... The T50 gearboxes I've been using have had different speedo gears in them? Maybe that's it. Cause I've changed gearboxes since too...
  20. Or a Teletubby. Better yet, you can have one that goes: Speedo: Stop Slow Cruisin Fast Very fast OMG fast! And then for your tacho you could have: Engine off Idle Power start here Power end here Red line BOOM! Or something silly like that. Or, you could take away ALL the lines and just have 0, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110. And that's it. :D Or you could have: Stopped School Zone Residential area Most roads Rural stuff Big roads Slow highway Normal highway Fast highway :P I'm silly.
  21. Hey wow, that's pretty cool. Maybe if you printed them on photo paper... Hey then you can like put a photo of your face in the background :P
  22. BEST ENGINE FOR A KE COROLLA Sort of a rotary, but even more fun: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...4556094542&rd=1
  23. Nick: Your stickers are actually layered aren't they (as opposed to printed)?
  24. YLD_Toy: That is SO COOL :P
