  1. Cheaper to build. Allows greater design flexibility. Gets around the inherent problem with cars, in cab noise, because it doesn't act as a conduit for vibration straight to the hot seat. Easier to assemble. Funnily enough, you may laugh, but its probably statistically less likely to fail than the mechanical parts, across a production run of hundreds of thousands of parts. Altezzaclub, the stuck throttle incidents were mechanical failures; nothing to do with the computer.
  2. I put it back for ya while I was reading throught the 4 pages of deleted posts. I has powers.
  3. memories. i reckon i might even have one, but I reckon the little friction drive carked it.
  4. Eh or try download their cam Cat and look through that.
  5. Yeh theyre not really quads either, they're injection units that will fit dhla/decode sided raft carb patterns. I think Jenvey also make triple throat units which I'd very much like to fit on my 911 some day....
  6. Shop around. Wade have a hell of a lot of grinds for hydros. Or ask the crow guy for a hydro grind. The ramp rates are the biggest problem with hydros. Also, what cam are you starting off with? I reckon the base diameter on hydros is much bigger than solids. But as already said: run a hydro setup.
  7. I want one of those adjustable cam gears and the timin cover.
  8. Leaf springs could definitely benefit from a panhardthey are not stiff laterally, especially if you look at the flex through the bushes and shackles.
  9. Ahhh of course, I knew I'd seen them. Starions were a pretty high trim spec. Some kei cars have cool looking seats like this too. I would say 50 bucks was a steal starion gear is hard to find.
  10. Theyre out of a little car like a Sherpa or a city or similar. Can't remember which.
  11. Remember as a kid you could get those little cars with half circle bars on the top, the car would flip and roll back into its wheels? I have seen a niki with a hayabusa motor in it, similarly cool, and maybe street drivable!
  12. Answers to your questions: Is it possible? Yes with minimal effort? No has anyone considered it? Not that I know of. For the work to get a 6 in then you might as well put a decent one in. M series motors often send a shudder down people's spine, there's a reason they are cheap. any one know anything bout trannys? Only what I've accidentally discovered from google searches. I prefer women with womanly bits, I'm certain i saw one walk into the maccas in St Kilda once. if the ke55 will fit on? No. anyone with answers or any kind of help is a mad kent. Don't say "mad kent", it makes you sound like an idiot. 1uz is the Toyota v8. It would be cooler than the Cressida motor but likely a fair bit of effort involved. Pmp020 has experience with ke20s with bot a valiant 6 and an rb30 if I recall.
  13. How is it going to draw water in under positive pressure? Did you use a Venturi setup?
  14. Money morning *facepalm* I came. I read. I composted. Sorry A. Too much hyperbole for my taste.
  15. Off topic but I'd love to see a rides thread on this. I thought S600s ran chain drives to the rear wheels, or were there diff models as well?
  16. They'll run like shit and just consume fuel without fitting a decent cam and a set of extractors. But they will be loud and all your mates will think it sounds fast!
  17. Wow I would have said that is a great price. Mates rates or just a walk in customer?
  18. Brisbane. Pffft. 46.7 and the nation's record heat wave, Adelaide trumps it.
  19. I have a box ready to swap. Trawling the old corollas threads, it looks like its as simple as swapping the pitman arm and drilling the chassis holes out slightly to accept larger bolts.
  20. There is bugger all structural strngth across the radiator support. Don't worry too much about it unless your mounting some kind of enormously heavy radiator.
  21. I managed to snag a ticket to the Lexus unveiling a few months ago, got a load of pics and vids. I'll upload them when I get home in a few weeks.
