BMW 318is with a 1uz, style and balls, I want one. I don't know if this accurate in the real world but it might give you some idea. http://www.timmcamis.com/rear_horse.html 1200kg is 2640lbs

What are your thoughts on the future of Hydrogen fueled engines. http://www.bmwworld.com/hydrogen/h2r_racer.htm http://auto.howstuffworks.com/bmw-h2r2.htm

I heard that the RMM intakes, work like the K&N pods mounted in your engine bay and suck in hot air. Some people have lost power using them. Exhaust mods are always good.

A video beats a photo any day, well done! That's one nice looking motor car. As far as the A\C goes: being cool always costs money.

I'm still waiting, where's my pictures?

Jibby Hi, Are you telling us that American TV shows and Hollywood movies don't give a completely accurate picture of life in the USA. I'm shattered! I thought you had to carry a gun just to buy milk at the local shop. The Simpsons will never be the same again. [I'm joking, so don't go busting...

Saudi Arabia oil is 16 cents a litre. Here's the contents of an email from a family friend. This is from the May 1, 2006 Energy Digest. SAUDI ARABIA CUTS DOMESTIC FUEL PRICES Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter of oil, slashed the domestic retail prices of gasoline and diesel April 30...

Biodiesal here we come. You car exhaust smells like Mcdonalds and of course, "It's diesel". What sought of horsepower can you get out of a deisel engine and how high do you have to drop them from to fit them into a Lexus. http://www.biodiesel.org.au/biodieselfacts.htm#IS

That's a good point. It didn't cross my mind, I must have criminal tendencies. Cheers - doey

On the subject of US oil reserves, oil shale as someone said must have some future if the prices keep rising. Apparently there is about 16,000 square miles of the stuff under Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. There was a story about some cow herder type guy who built his fire place out of oil...

I read the following - White smoke when first started is normal. If white smoke continues you have an internal coolant leak, i.e., cracked head/blown head gasket There is a chance that the white smoke was caused by water splashing up from a puddle onto the exhaust pipe. Keep an eye on the...

Most aircon places put a dye in with gas, which can be seen under ultra-violet light. Using an ultra violet torch the leak stands out like dogs balls.

Well this out come sucks. Climb under the next Jag you see and have a look for brand names on the various parts. Check out its layout as well. I don't suppose there are many Jags in the local wrecking yards. I wonder what Jaguar charges for the parts. [An arm and a leg]

I came across it in a UK Jag forum while researching pulley changes on the Jag M112 supercharger. One bloke did say they were becoming obsolete on the Jags this year. {unverified} Heres an extract I just found on cardomain for a 2005 xkr 2005 Jaguar Stirling Moss Edition. 1 of 5 produced...

I don't know what the specs are but the factory used a borla exhaust system. Check out the borla web site and email them for the set-up. {borla.com} mailto:[email protected] [This is not an add and I don't work for them] If they tell you let us know.

I have a supercharged 1uzfe out of a crown. I've just had air-conditioner compressor rebuilt. New seals etc and was told there were no physical defects, but the bloke said he wouldn't guarantee it, as it might go bang. He could not source a new one or find a place that sold reconditioned units...

That's two, x-pipe, two, mufflers,[3" pipe the rest the rest of the way from muffler] y-pipe, one. Don't know why, after travelling so far with two pipes you'd bring it back to one pipe. The I.R.S maybe or one notch in you bumper bar. It's good to see your exhaust shop gave an honest opinion...

My understanding of the X-pipe is that as the gases cross, they reduce that tumbling effect and also create a venturi effect. Which in turn speeds up the flow. What your saying tho might explain why "people" suggest stepping the pipe diameter up a notch, and then choking it back down at some...

Here's a thought! [I think it's a thought] It looks like you want a twin system. You could, [ I'm thinking again] put an X pipe before the tunnel, then run twin pipes down the tunnel exiting into another x-pipe and out the back. You'd have to put a cat on each pipe before the first x-pipe...
