heh, the advertisement is a little wrong then. twin rotors are 1.3L, triples are 2.0L.

id confirm the kays of both the engine and chassis. the dash cluster bolts are surrounded with black foam when its installed, so check that to confirm that the chassis k's are accurate. (foam has to be removed to properly remove the cluster). ask for receipts for the engine, and try to confirm mileage again, 20B into any rx isnt a huge job, but it isnt particularly regency friendly, look to see if the brakes and suspension have been upgraded to suit the weight and additional power of the 20B. (remember, a 20B is more than 50% heavier than the original 13B). if the engine is getting close to 100,000km, prepare for a rebuild (approx $5-7k). oil consumption and rotors go hand in hand, so dont worry too much, but as usual, if its blowing oil smoke, avoid it. also never use semi/full synthetic oil in it, only use mineral oils and mazda rotory oil. pivot balls in the s5 boxes tend to be the weak point when youre using a heavy duty clutch (which you would be with a 20B-TT conversion), but replace those with a billet item and the box will last forever. also keep in mind that a rotor will never pass an emissions test. and if he does pick it up, tell him to be very particular with his startup and warm down procedures, start it up, let it idle in the drive way for a minute, and when driving, dont rev it any higher than 2,000rpm until youre up to operating temps, when youre finished driving, let it idle for a minute or 2 or 5 depending how hard youve been driving before shutting it down. try not to drive it short distances, always allow it to get up to operating temps before shutting it down, starting it and shutting it down in small time frame and you run the risk of flooding the engine which can be a huge pain in the ass to clear. also, take it to a reputable rotary workshop before purchase (eg, REVS or Mildrens) and have them look over the car with a fine tooth comb and throw it on the dyno. happy motoring.

i just drove out to nuri to pick up a 40 year old bottle of wine. rather a nice drive.

do want... and continuing on with my recent fascination with dubs...

ive been tested about 7 times now (the joys of working night shifts in town...), not a single one has been accurate.

ill be there after work.

to hell with your skylines, those black rx7's are win.

spotted a silver 33 on main north heading towards gawler about 10 minutes wearing [THEACE] plates... ehm, nice plates?

its not gonna happen. the constant smear campaigns, the constant negative and exaggerated media attention, and the parallels being drawn between us and killers is going to stall any progress into actually finding a solution and an outlet for hooning. its funny, junkies have shooting galleries, people who want to drag dont have anything.

ive posted a couple comments in that article. neither of which are yet to be posted. probably because im not mindlessly repeating 'crush their cars and throw them in jail' like the majority of commentators.

cheers people.

but if they dont include their 99% of sensationalist bullshit, people like ethel and george wont vote for certain media crazed pollies next election. by the way, i turn 21 today, so ill probably be in town on the piss tonight, if anyone wants to join in, lemme know. (yes, i am aware its a monday, yes, i am aware town is usually rather quiet on a monday, no i dont really care)

i was thinking it was that or the vandals anarchy burger dialogue.

know the movie, but dont know the next line.

thanks, i do know everything. yup, agreed on that one, but this bit... ... not so much. thats a bit creepy actually.

i attend as many events as i can. even signed up for this, but wasnt permitted to enter with you guys. same with smasa. so i worked instead. /pot stir.

was thinking 8th of april, but now thats too short notice, and caras having her going away thing on, so ill probably put this off til the end of april or can it completely. havent decided yet.

you know whats awesome? demotivational posters.

yeah, my dailys f**ked. tyres are always worn second handies, brakes are a meh, suspension is looser than a $2 you-know-what, got more oil leaks than the exxon valdez, and drops coolant like its going out of style, it even looks like a death trap, but itll get waved through every defect/rbt. without fail. ive been given a formal warning for it once, and that was when the front tyres were down to canvas.

17 X ?? offset? can you get some pics?

its a shame about the direction this thread went; were not meant to be debating media mikes kneejerks, the lack of a race track, or the 'heat of the moment' stupidity and emotions that caused minhs death. RIP minh, deepest sympathies to your family and friends.

f**k yeah.

yes, ill trade it for the te's. ok, just cause im awesome.

already have. petes place.

yup, watched that this morning. many roflwaffles.
