Paul - cool. man, this 180 seconds think sure puts a damper on whoring..... ..bummer. Anyone coming tonight??

anyone still around?

yeah, this 180 seconds thing is bullshit!

aaargh! 180 seconds, what the **** is with that!@?

arvo bichis, paul - email me at [email protected] so I can send you the map for "review and consideration"

dan - welshpool next to sst. yummy car stuff happens there. unfortunately not very often involving my car.

shit eh!? I didnt think Joe or Niz would be so high!

haha. niz - the ephemoral trev adjudicator.

is it home time yet?

defi :drooling: bam - good Jerry hurt the baby Jesus

NOOOOOooooo!!! doont sell dem me meta, boss!

so, its got a small turbo, producing reasonable power - but a long throw and a poor RPM ceiling as a result. But, to it's credit it makes full boost at low revs because of it's high engine capacity. I disagree with this statement - and not because it's a ford, although I do think that's why it's happenned. When commodore moved to a turbocharged engine for the VL - they did so through a negotiative bargaining agreement with nissan - because Nissan were familiar with the engineering behind turbocharged engines. they made a n/a 6, a turbocharged smallish six, and a V8 holden for the clan who are committed to their big block pushrods. however, ford recognised that in order to sell cars to the modern australian market, any performance vehicle larger than a 200sx has to have big cubes. this is both what will make the car a sales success and a performance failure. big stroke = big buckling forces = bent rods. so it doesnt make much more power than a semi-stock GTR? which will do high 12s? I just dont think people realise how much faster a car has to be to do tens.....so they make up some horseshit about 10 seconds.... I can't see it happening. I beleive that the ford turbo is a ceramic wheel - so I doubt it.

nobel go bye bye?

that would be a very exceptional XR6T. Like VERY exceptional. I think he is probably yanking your chain. the xr6t is not a particularly easy car to make really fast - because it has such a large displacement. to produce that sort of time, you're looking at 800+ ps, which would require a big turbo and some serious internal work. the catch is, that because he throw is so long for each cylinder, he'd struggle to find rods that would put up with the sort of hammering that a high outpurt turbo would put an engine under at very high boost. so, I call b/s on the 10 second XR6T.

volunteer? paul - my girlfriend didnt want to make you feel insecure. she figured that you already exhibit enough small-man syndrome behaviour.

:roar: :flex: *ties nob like belt*

hehe. there we go!

bugger. that didnt work either!

I think Liz is nice. I was sad to make her sad.

which way did they go? which way did they go?

yay to 4.95 half chicken and chips. boo to this greasy salt-hangover!

Yay! Liz is coming on the cruise on friday!

brett - if you havent done the dump pipe yet then you should also call wayno. Unless of coars you mean that you need a new different dump with the a/m/ turbs.
