    big brake upgrade

    I'm doing a brake upgrade on my car atm also. Bolt spacing and caliper position will be taken care of by the custom caliper adaptor brackets i'll be using. The custom rotor hat will take care of the rotor positioning (you get hats to suit your specific car, and in this case, the soarer can use...

    IS200 6-speed an option?

    IS200 = povo Lexus Altezza (rs200). To answer your question, the Aisin 6spd is pretty weak. They came in a whole range of cars, including the s15 200sx, the is200, and mazda mx6... off the top of my head. There's a reason that drifters in japan swap the 6spd for an s14 5 speed, it's stronger...

    1UZ to Tremec TKO600

    Bango, actually i know of 2 members here that use the tko600. Myself (though car still unfinished) and JustenGT8. I dont know where you got the brand new price of $1600 for it from, but in Aus. it's more like $4500 brand new. Maybe in USD it would be 1600, but that still sounds a little cheap...

    injected LPG (again)

    John, i thought the same thing at first.... but after quizing this lady a little further, i found out that it was actually injected vapour going into the cylinder directly...... she didn't care to explain too much though..... i actually suggested that it was manifold fed, but she quickly...

    New Autronic released next week!!!

    I took a drive out to my local autronic dealer to have a chat about some things... first thing he said was that the SM4 was being released next week... and is cheaper than the sm2 also... might be the thing to get if you're going stand alone. edit: it also supports VVti and i was told an...

    2UZ fits in Supra, sort of

    just from memory, that looks very similar to the 1uz vvti that you had in it in your post awhile ago.... or was that the same engine???? as for my mk4, i've got everything ready.... except with a soarer 1uz instead... only thing stopping me from finishing is still the gearbox-engine issue...

    Supliers of twin screw blowers in Australia

    Aussies and 1UZ

    i got over the nissan thing awhile ago.... regardless of how good or powerful the engine seems from the factory, as soon as you do anything to it, it start's to fall apart (have had experience with sr20's an my brother's rb26dett GTR) ... so i made the switch to toyota and haven't looked back.
