wouldnt it be the other way? shorter stroke, slower piston speed...thats why the F1 guys use ridiculously small strokes... I thought he'd just bored it out to get it to 1300cc...

well...the thing is its registered to my grandmother...and shes notorious for not telling me when my rego arrives...

Ok i posted this on the old corollas mailing list....so here it is again...rollaclub style (15 minutes ago at 11:00) Well coming home about 15 minutes ago I got flashed by a speed camera. I had been driving slow because I knew the local police station had control over one at the present time (had heard reports on the radio station about it in about 3 different locations all day). So I'm cruising home on the speed limit (70kmph) and I dropped my speed at known radar locations (because my speedo isnt exactly reliable...) I drove past the speed camera setup in a Bus station (CSIRO stop on moggil road) touched the brakes (automatic reaction) and realised I was going pretty slow already so let them off and cruised thru the radar not changing my speed at all. I get about 30m past the camera and it flashes at me...no other cars on the road at all... Now...I take pride in the fact that I have never had any speeding offences (ok one warning for drifting in the wet) and wish to keep it this way. After a quick "WHAT THE f@$k!?" and look in my rear vision mirror I checked my RPM and read them at 2200rpm in 4th gear. Now...as we all know 4th gear on K40s is 1:1 and I'm running a 4.3:1 diff. My tyres are 13" 175/70. After some quick calculations after I got home I figure out that I couldnt have been going any more than 65kmph (if I read the tacho wrong or such) in a 70 zone... my speed was more like 50kmph...after touching the brakes... So...my question is "WHAT THE f@$k!?" I have heard that they are required to do 3 (or so) test shots before they can start booking people...Was I a test shot?? or was i speeding?? Could it have been my muffler (5" can into 2.75" tip) resonating that it picked up on (not the noise waves...picking up the vibrations on the exhaust). As much as Id love to (if a fine does accually come) take it to court and stick it up their asses I really don't have the time. So I HOPE it was a test or...the camera operator was f@$king with me... GAH...</rant> Thanks for reading :), Ben

AHHH MAFIA COROLLAS!!!!! Oh and its on the 1st page guys :)

also gotta make sure you keep air flow velocity up. If the valves are too big the speed of the air will slow down and wont be optimal...

yea...apparently. Then you have Redwarf...flogged to 9,000rpm I think it may be just a myth...and hell...its not like the blocks are expensive

yes most definetly unleaded! I have absolutly no doubt

how about does anyone need a NAV??

verry nice!!

lol it kinda is now...kinda all the oil is now spewing into a bottle... cams nav ehy...anyone feel like experiencing bodyroll++??

Cams licence?? I should pull my finger (and wallet) out and get one...but meh

Well...I WAS WRONG!! don't get used to hearing that...I don't plan on saying it often..

Just on another note...if you have been running leaded fuel in the AE100 CHANGE YOUR EGO sensor!! (exhaust gas oxygen). Lead will be built up around the sensor and it wont be able to sense the oxygen content in the exhaust which will result in bad fuel economy and power. I am unsure what Lead replacement fuel does to EGO sensors...But I wouldnt think it would be good...

accually I don't think this info would be that easy to come by...not quickly

I believe the fuel you run and how well it runs is all related to tuning. Changing to 98RON from 91RON and you will need to re-tune to reap the benifits. I found running 91RON yealded more power than 98RON without tuning for the change...

well I'm sure the bad publicity didnt help.... the two police drag cars were shut down by the media due to bad reporting. They reported that they were using police funds when infact the guys who were running it were paying for it out of their own pockets... never mind me...i just hate today tonight et al...

ph34r the AWD.... toyota? where did YOUR AWD go?? huh? huh?

*shudders* I HATE CAR ELECTRONICS!!

Why does that not surprise me?? Just like everything else on the gold coast (AKA Operation drag...*edit - Gimwolge */edit*!)

Read: Bogan fest :) :dry:

Never doubt me :D hehehe

All toyotas from Mid 1973 on can run unleaded petrol without modification. I have a 1973 KE20 and I run unleaded all day every day...

cross flow is nice too...keep all that yikky heat away from the fuel

yea?? they were flexable for the drift guys...they needed a venue and they we're willing to keep the place open at night time... expensive...yes...agreed...

agreed....but you have to think of all the other businesses that benifit from the hype of the 3rd game...
