did a similar thing to an old bloke at work in our partitioned office. He was on the other side, we plugged a second mouse in and over the course of a few weeks we'd randomly start moving it or clicking. Short bursts, intermittently. The game was up when he heard 6 of us hiding behind the partition trying to stifle laughs as he swore at his broken computer.... Hiro you must just work for a boring engineering company... Superglung phone receivers to the phone, swapping keys on the old 2 finger typers keyboard, screwing peoples desk drawers shut, hiding peoples gear while they're on leave and leaving treasure hunt clues around, painting the inside of their safety glasses, all sorts of Dye marker shenanigans.... that's interesting, working in manufacturing in the past I'm going to say shopfloor guys are so full of shit and have such stupid chips on their shoulder it's not funny.

sweet Missus is getting an Ipad soon, looking forward to hitting up some E Books, I was a skeptic until I saw them on my mates iPad.

sweet, nice Galant! i used to have a GA galant and it was wicked, I always wanted a 4g63 or something in it.... SOld it to my cousin and he wiped it out. Good times.

boat tails are cool but the best riv is the '65 with the concealed headlights http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Buick-Riviera-1965-...=item2a0968ff1d

it will be warped or bent. Budget for a head skimming.

15 will probably be high still, on 98 I'd run more like 10. running 15, you will may have too much advance at high revs. Rough running, give it a set of plugs and leads as well. Carb clean, probably won't do much but worth a shot.

Ouch, that's pretty funny though, I always was skeptical about using zippies.

Before Trev beats me to it: flamingheads, did you even bother to look yourself to see if the info that Zoidburg is after is even in the FAQ? Clearly not, I now propose that you receive a good flaming. I use BP6EY's in my 5K. I've also run BP5EY, no real issues with either, I think I changed to a slightly cooler plug. As for timing, for a stock motor running 91, probably about 7 degrees should do.

oh I saw it! high contrast LCD FTW!

I'm predicting some 17 year old will crack a tanty because he doesn't like the forum rules a few more R31's will pop up for sale because now they're on holidays and they've got time to cut laps around westfield carparks they'll find out how much fuel their POS uses and will like to downgrade to a more economical but equally full sik drift ke70

Lynx, redline same shit isn't it?

real men shave their doors and climb through the open window.

The 911 is the quickest on acceleration and top speed although I've not pushed past 160.... not sure why I never drove it on many straight roads haha. It got there quick though. My ca18 turbo bluebird was also devilishly quick too. My ke is punchy but also feels twice as fast than it really is. Cue Trev with entertaining commentary on K motors!

There's a common misconception that doubles = high spring pressures. I did the calcs for my Crow 4220's; starting with the same seat pressure as stock, the nose pressure is less. Duals have a lower spring rate, so by the time you increase lift you can still end up with less nose pressure! My concern was that I might have to low a seat pressure given my large cam! Again - this is not a "rule of thumb". I calculated all my pressures myself and I checked and rechecked. Honestly, anyone building their own motor should be doing the same, as each application will differ. My biggest problem was spring bind because of my lift, and Duals were the only option without doing machining.

Spend some money and get the Redline kit, it's nowhere near as expensive as the dellorto kit. Take a look at my setup on my KE16. It also allows you to tweak the adjustment and the ratio's, which you will find invaluable. If you don't have the linkages in between the two carbs though, you'll probably need Dellorto gear because this is where the balance screw is.

Simpsons (and MAD Magazines) have allowed me to know the storyline for so many movies, without actually having seen them!

Keep that steering box on ice for me Mick!!

My lift was about .480" and the stock springs did 12 months before failure. I would suggest that the .400" is conservative. I honestly wouldn't bother with either the SR20 or the 202 springs, especially if they need machining. Performance CB4A's wouldn't fit in my head, the spring diameter was just slightly too large for the pocket in the head. I suspect that people install them regardless without realising this is an issue, I've seen thrashed out spring pockets in other heads. I ended up using Crow Cams 4220 dual springs. They were about 120 for a set and were a much better fit in the spring pocket and also on the valve retainer. Stock ones retainers took the duals. They were a breeze to fit. I checked and rechecked the rates, diameters, preload and free and compressed lengths before I settled on them, and Crow have them listed as suited for 3k/4k. The only thing I don't know is the recommended seat pressure for the cam I'm running. I've givven it plenty of hard revs and I've not noticed any valve bounce.

I fell asleep on your mum once and a sore throat was the least of my troubles.

That's wicked. I dig seeing what stuff they can break records with. The 100 year old Steam world record was broken recently too. http://www.steamcar.co.uk/ and might get broken again soon....

what a dude. "I live in a hilly area"... hahah so do I and know I realise where I went wrong without NOS. Car looks a lot like the MG metro or the old renault clio mid engine.

mmmm cancer.

Nice Andrew Golden.

you guys realise you can buy these things? Theres ones you can get that hook off the steering wheel to the clutch pedal and I reckon I've seen em for gear levers.

Yes and Yes. C is for the Emissions that some later model 4K's had, but basically the same engine.
