i thought that the gtr700 car was slower than the two kiwi gtrs (reece mcgregor and croydons)?? i might have to check this out...

hi i had the hydraulic release bearing locater piece modified so that it cannot overtravel and break the seal again. havnt had much time to work on the car, but am mid way through re-doing the engine bay, and am doing a false firewall to get the smooth look to the engine bay. i hope to get the...

that combi will be doing wheelies! i love it.

iv found an m90 for sale so am just looking into whether to get it or hold out for a vortech. looking over that pulley size and expected power chart, an m90 with the smallest pulley only pushes 270rwhp? thats around 200rwkw? at the moment with my internally standard engine iv got over 180rwkw...

found this on trademe a while ago. 4wd lex. pity the shot isnt lower so the sump could be seen.

iv got a normal link. does the job fine.

1) probably, but i wouldnt 2) if you take out structure, you should replace it with something, like a half or full roll cage. 3) see above. one flat sheet will be weaker and not much lighter than the original structure. 4) removing front inner fenders would require a tube front end to be...

how bout a nsx engine and box. big hp, no stuffing around mating gearboxes, engine work, cams or any of that stuff. i amagine it would be cheaper than a destroked, cammed and headworked 1uz. if you can find one that is. id probably go either a bored out camry motor or maybe a 300zx engine, as...

sounds a bit cheap. makes you wonder if its just the exhaust that needs doing. also, is that a realistic fuel economy? what are most people getting with their soarers?

i got rid of it on mine. theyre just to heat the throttle body.

doey, uzz30-quebec got it right. plants basically live on carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen, so as long as theres more plants to grow, the co2 produced by burning ethanol will be absorbed by the plants growing to make ethanol. the problem with ethanol as a fuel is it is impossible to...

the production plant/farm that produces a gallon of ethanol using 1.29 gallons of fossil fuel has to be the most inefficient plant in the world. this is a rediculous claim. another interesting claim is that ethanol 'breaks down' into peroxyacetylnitrates (C2H3NO5 etc). how a molecule consisting...

id love to hear a hydrogen powered car. i remember back in school when we burned hydrogen from test tubes and it went 'pop'. i found the starrotor site interesting, every one of the benefits listed has a ..should... in it.

hi all i was a bit harsh in my previous post. possiby just due to hearing people with cheaper petrol than us complain about how expensive it is. i didnt mean to suggest you should actually move to mexico, that was just an example of the relative ease of saving petrol, over more extreme...

wow this is an interesting thread, all about 'truths' and 'facts' about oil supply, demand, control, and consumption. it amuses me how ignorant some americans can be to the world, such as with international petrol prices, yet still moan about the costs like someones gonna feel sorry for them...

hey thats a very nice ae86 you've built yourself. i particularly like the blending of the carbon panels to the paint job. it would be wicked with a manual and aftermarket engine management tho. nice wheels too. do they scrub the guards?

i discussed this with someone once and they thaught the air from the air conditioner would create condensation in the intake system and this would not be good for the motor. maybe if you had it hooked up to cool an intercooler on a forced induction setup some gains could be had. you'd also...

what about the doorslammer(?) celica in the states? 2uz? twin turbo. i think its turbonetics sponsored.

is a lexus v8 with a custom made block still a lexus v8 really? i mean, with aftermarket forged internals and intake setup, the only original parts are probably the crank and the heads.

heres one more post for me.
