  1. go to Andronicus at 10 for a midnight coffee
  2. Sydneykid et al may be able to answer this... When measuring the pressure drop accross an intercooler how do you determine the drop from restriction vs. drop from thermal efficiency? i.e. as the air is cooled there is a reduction in volume -> less pressure. Is it just a given that on the bench there is only a minor heat loss from radiation so it doesn't factor in? Just wondering....
  3. From my limited experience with R32s I feel the R33 is a more refined car. The 2.5 has plenty of low down torque if you just want to cruise around and be lazy with the gears. As it is a bigger, heavier car the ride is a bit more plush. I've heard the trade off is that the handling isn't as sharp. It's still a very good handling car, just not as light in feel as the 32. Going by ads in the Herald etc. there are lots of private sales for less than $20k. Condition of these cars may vary though. It seems most of the cars have been "clocked" so go on condition of the seats, pedals, trim etc if it has lowish kms. Personally, I think the 3 Year Commercial Warranty offered by most dealers is a rip off. It has too many ways for them to get out of doing the work and not enough inclusions. It is basically an insurance policy for a limited number of mechanical problems. You also have to send in receipts everytime you get work done to keep it active. If they don't like something they can knock it back etc. The Statuatory 3 month Warranty the Dealer must provide has more teeth but it's not perfect either. You are better off getting a qualified inspector to do a thorough Pre Purchase Inspection on the car. I bought a totally stock, unmodified '93 model 2.5 years ago and after a couple of minor fixes (timing, water pump gasket and a speedo problem) it never skips a beat. Whatever you get keep it serviced and run it on 98 octane.
  4. Get a v-twin for your first big bike. Smooth power delivery, low down torque, no crazy black lines when you get on the gas. Japs make some good ones but go straight for a Ducati. It'll save you realising years later that you should have bought one first up.
  5. Give me a ring Brendan. There's a 10% chance I won't be able to make saturday, otherwise no prob. fatz, the Mcgill (sp.) note you posted above says a 50% deposit. This means we need $75 right?
  6. heh can we bring diesel Pete? :uh-huh:
  7. Dan a secondary bonnet tie is just a way of securing the bonnet in addition to the standard latch. The idea is to prevent the bonnet flying up if the latch fails. A piece of sturdy cord is sufficient to do the trick. I use a thin tie down. Other suggestions: * Swage some eyelets into a piece of thin steel cable with a snap shackle. (go to a ship chandlers) * Bonnet pins (road legal???) * Rope Disclaimer: Obviously you don't want a tail flapping around and getting caught in your fan etc. Use common sense and go to a professional to do it for you if you can't figure out a safe way.
  8. L2S is $91. A bit more than the "good old days" when they were $25. Jeez I hope we have it all sorted by then 'cos I'll be wanting to use it! :burnout:
