Only to those that treat them with no respect...

That sucks :P Hope you get it back... Moved to general discussion.

lol... Can be bored to 2L....but you end up with rather thin bore walls and you have to throw the block away if you need to bore again for a rebuild

In Queensland its illegal. Just go to an exhaust shop and get them to weld on a straight bit of pipe. I'll cost maybe $20...

Has your pinion angle been set correctly? I suspect this is the root of your problems if the car hasn't be lowered excessively.

lol well... thats kinda like saying "Ive bleached my hair with water...but if you want to get technical it was actually hydrogen peroxide". H2O and H2O2 are very different molecules, just like H2O and H2 thus you can't call hydrogen, water...

Tone down the anti-political sentiment please. I've told you previously it isn't welcome here and it isn't the aim of this forum.

Hows this for proof that speed doesn't kill. Germany, per capita, has a LOWER road toll than Australia. You'd think if what the police are telling us, that every K over is a killer, and the germans are doing speeds 150kmph faster than us then they should all be dead. But its simply not the case. How do they manage this? TRAINING!

Any police bashing posts will be deleted immediately without warning. Speed cameras as a whole are a bandaid solution at best. Its been shown that they are ineffective. In reality the only thing that IS effective is driver education...but it would appear the government would rather cater for peoples stupidity rather than educate them...or simply forbid idiots from driving.

LOL yea its TINY. Just a big burnout pad basically. Maybe try Carnell raceway down near stanthorpe. Cam have you actually spoken to John Tetley in a serious and professional manner? Hes pretty relaxed about who uses his track for what. Just be prepared to make him feel comfortable liability wise.

LOL you'd think they'd include the high speed camera shot... but no, instead we see 0.05 seconds of approach, 0.01 seconds of impact and ~3 seconds of the car rolling backwards.

Actually I think you'll find I went the other way. I WAS into drift. Then I found circuit racing and haven't looked back.

Furthermore...why is it that every drifter seems to act as though they're gods gift to motorsport.......................

If you saw the damage it does to the track and the amount it costs to fix you'd change your tune. The rubbish they leave on the track is horrible... not to mention the massive trenches they dig around the track with their retarded dirt turbos..... ugh!

The no peddling rule seems to have slipped a few peoples minds. Posts edited and deleted....

Another thing to consider is the speed of the airflow through the ports and valves. Once the air flow goes sonic the flow increase in relation to a given pressure increase goes from exponential to linear. In other words you need more pressure to get the same gain you did before the airflow went sonic. And now because you need more pressure for the same gain you increase the amount of heat generated so you lose even more efficiency with less dense air and so begins the downward spiral.

Expect to pay $1200-1500 for a clutch pack LSD and then the housing, conversion and installation of the LSD center on top of that. Soo....maybe budget around $3k unless you can do the majority of the work yourself.

Is it school holidays already? OK OK I know you finished in 2003... 30psi.....just let me say LOL. You really need to do some SERIOUS reading before you get flamed far worse than this. I highly doubt you could run even 20psi with a J pipe...and even 20psi would be bordering on too much for all but the most serious 5K. p.s. what happened to the skyline?

All of your forward gears should have syncros. If its crunching the syncros probably worn out. For $250 its probably a psuedo LSD. Not nearly as good as a true clutch pack LSD but...better than nothing? maybe?

*Moved* - Please post mechanical related questions in the mechanical forums in future. Thanks.

God that things hot :). I almost wish I had gotten a GT4 as I was originally intending to. Only an ST185 but the weight was the thing that put me off them. Is it noticeable?? Maybe they just look heavy on paper... I imagine the 185 would be horrifically under braked for the track. 205 brake specs look far better!

You'd probably get flamed anywhere. Really need to ask specific questions to get good quality answers and info. What are your goals with the car? What are you going to use it for mostly, i.e. daily driving, weekend warrior?

C'mon slackers, join me!!

You've got to ask the question, what do you enjoy more? Driving a car on the track or building a car (to drive on the track). I get great satisfaction from building my own car, testing it and then figuring out where I can improve. I knew from the word GO that it was going to be more expensive than buying a ready-prepped car. Just make sure you go in with your eyes wide open and consider the costs of both. Building seems like an attractive and cheap option when starting out but believe me its not!
