wait...youve asked for peoples opinions and then you tell them to get stuffed?

Wait...you run 110psi of oil through your turbo?

Its gonna be dangerous. We've got a loader with a steering wheel and stick steer. Its really tricky to drive with the stick steer...can be very jerky if youre not used to it. Luckily the loaders top speeds 38kmph (it weighs upwards of 40 tonnes) but at highway speeds :P hope theyve got it sorted out. Stick steer has been around in earthmoving machinery since at least the 80s so its nothing new.

Bah how can you not like this! http://photography.irokin.com/index.php?al...ic=DSC_8344.jpg

http://photography.irokin.com/index.php?al...e+and+Jamboree/ Couple of hundred from the bikini comp still to sort through...bwahaha. I should've taken more photos of cars.

Is it like a harsh cut in power (i.e. no power)? Idles fine? Try taking the vac line off vac advance and see if it stops. I had this problem and after stripping the carby down didnt fix it, I started taking off random vac lines until voila it went away. I suspect its just a short inside the distributor somewhere.

The Puerto Ricans were very very impressive. Out of all of their cars, only one of them had issues on the track (engine misfire). The little KE15 ran an awesome pass every pass (In the 7s). Those guys have such a nice no bullshit approach to building awesome drag cars. When compared to some of our top drag teams its rather embarrasing!! That was an awesome run all round. Him and George from PAC in an MX6 played start line games. The Camry gave in and staged first only to flog george down the quarter (who red lighted anyway) and took his record in the Pro Turbo class (I think). Great to see the pistons under 8cyl can take it up to the rotor boys. Just about to sort through my photos.

don't forget Reese McGregor and his R32 GTR who beat his own world record (set on wednesday at 7.59 beating the HKS record of 7.67). Ran a 7.57 @ over 190mph. I'm sure its got more left in it! Just makes it look so easy...

Lotus Esprit, TVR Cerbera & Tuscan Racer are the ones I can confirm....but pretty much any flat plane V8. I believe ferrari V8s are included in this list. Why do they make so much power and rev so hard when compared to american V8s (cross plane)? Because theyve compromised. btw...not everything you read on the internet is correct (just incase you hadnt already realised). At least wikipedias information is scrutinised as best they can.

Yes (with a but) A KE70 5spd will bolt to a 3K http://www.rollaclub.com/articles/gearbox/

Wikipedia says: A 90 degree V8 is far better balanced than a 60 degree V6 but neither are naturally balanced. Our familys VR commodore (90deg V6) has been through about 4 harmonic balancers.

then youd expect him to know that no 1.2 litre engine will ever increase in capacity by a whole litre.

From a 3K? no...way... 1.4 is as far as you'll get (even then why bother?). Why can't you just use a 5K or 7K??

migrate it to the wiki....

Someone chop some jap rims on there. I recon thats all thats holding it back from being a quality looking car.

temp please ignore

Because like the buick engine...that wasnt their design either. Sooo??? There are 2JZs with less than half that capacity making the same power. 241hp/litre vs 500hp/litre.

;)

How fun would it be to just sit in the drivers seat...getting a face full of burnt avtur. mmmm avtur.

....not as loud as this puppy! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...tor_pulling.jpg FOUR Rolls Royce Gnome turboshaft engines each producing 1535 shaft HP. So that'd be a total of 6140 shaft HP.

Ive cleaned this thread. Please play nice now. Rolla boy you should know better than to go egging people on into an argument. madtoy308 chill. I thought it was stupid too but I didnt feel the need to start a shitfight over it.

Isnt there a new class or something thats going to be RWD and N/A? I remember hearing something about it but I don't remember much. Perhaps hes just doing it to get a bit of hands on experience with something similar?

I wasnt talking about dicky little LED replacement "globes", I'm talking about panels of LEDs like this. http://www.allproducts.com/ee/lastertech/2...truck_light.jpg

HEKTIC this isnt a chat room. Beware, you may find yourself in the postwhore group if this trend continues

My parents have a jazz with vtec that doesnt have one badge on it that so much as hints at the fact. Toyota flanted their fulli sick load of garbage dodgy marketing ploy "Hi-Cam" so why shouldnt honda be able to advertise something thats accually kosher?
