yea it'll be trav. Its not uncommon to see him out there :)

I started an engine reconditioning apprenticeship and left it very quickly. I guess youve got to decide if its really what you want to do...because 3 years on a shit house wage doing the shithouse tasks is a high price in reality. If you do end up deciding you want to do it, make sure you get a good employer. The big "group training australia" and "biga" or whatever they are sound like a good way to go but you'd really have to research it more.

Just watch your not confusing 1JZ-GTEs with 1G-GTEs....

i heard someone got a new paintjob? it was like egg yolk yellow or something? or was it egg white...i forget...

yes it does :)

Definetly off a formula somethingorother... being center locking and small diameter. Ive got a pair of 13" slicks under the house that are something like 10" wide...not quite the same width but you get the idea.

SR20 OWNS the 1G (I'm not biased...am I??)

Meh... youd be better off getting a CA18DET or RB20DET... 3T-GTE...old technology, hard to find parts for... unless your a complete die hard fanatical old school modder...forget it.

dates teddy ffs!

nothing wrong with a charade engine. I know of one that was making over 200hp per litre...

my god its Teddy mark II

why? its mounted transverse... And after all that work...it'll still be a corolla :thumbsup: And at 1210kg my bet is the GTiR will come out lighter....

they put the weight too far over the front axel in the S13s...I dread to think what it does for weight distribution in a corolla... Just another quick note on CA18DETs. Theyre nothing to sneeze at. They might not produce as much power modded as an SR20DET but they still pack quite a punch. don't write them off that quick.

well that WOULD be a good place for it...considering it wont work properly after the cat

I resent comments like that. What did you expect? Theyre a performance motor. They last just as long as any other performance motor. Youve also got to look after them different to piston engines. i.e. you will kill them if you don't give them shit! (carbon builds up and kills the seals)

CA18DETs a nice cheap turbo motor. RB20s a nice cheap turbo motor. SR20 is an all alloy over engineered motor...it is not cheap. You get what you pay for.

An here-in lies the problem with trying to organise things TOO far ahead of time.

I don't recon its an ambiguous question. You should always look at it from the cars perspective. Unwritten rule really...

spot the phonephile.

Trundles on down for a 10.8 assuming 1102lb full weight and 170 wheel hp (doesnt say if its 170 flywheel or wheel...so I'm assuming flywheel.)

MY GOD THAT IS COOL Time to calculate 1/4 mile times...

The only instruction that should be needed.... for the rest of you.... GET FIREFOX DOT COM!!!!orban

Is it just me or are there some real cockheads on PF? Its a freaking race car...its there for a f@#king reason you cock smoker...

Mum bought what you might be able to call a "awd" bike. Its basically got an electric motor in the front wheel hub to give you a bit of a boost when you need it. Apparently it goes really well (but I'm too heavy to try it...*grumble* don't ever work in a pizza store...being 6"4 doesnt help either...)
