Galois

^Jusy wondering, when you say manual do you mean it can't be controlled from the driver's seat?

Sweet mate, let us know how it goes. Got a long trip home to test it out?

Great night for aussies in europe!! Hopefully alonso muscles vettel off the track in turn 1

Lol and don't forget to subscribe to mighty car mods haha

Double post with some random error

Look forward to hearing about it birds. Just have to save up and buy a car worth putting it in haha

I want to do a similar thing mate, ie learn a lot of this mechanic-craft stuff. Have always figured I'd just wait till I have the garage room to strip a car down, buy something with a head gasket issue or big end fail and spend a ridiculously long amount of time slowly rebuilding it haha.

bahahahahahahahaha

Spark plug rule: run the biggest gap you can without misfiring

Saw a kingswood race on sbs once... they all came round a corner bunched up, one went wide and went off road, rejoined the track having gone slightly further than the cars in the race and managed not to lose a position hahaha.

Should have mentioned i'd be looking at pre-1997 anyways. Will see what a test drive shows in 6 months when i actually have some cash, probably going to find it too heavy though (that's the resounding memory I have of the twin turbo 1jz soarer I drove, slow, heavy and a world of lag).

The vvti 1uz came out in 1997 and had 290hp with 407Nm, the 2jz fitted has 225hp and 285Nm, based on wiki lol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_SC#1991.E2.80.932000 I knew they were heavy but 1750 kg, that's pretty huge. Though for $4-5k, if they're reliable and not too slow it's not a bad buy for the money. Don't suppose someone sell's easy aftermarket supercharger kits?

Yes please do!! Keen on single or twin turbo?

Good points, for the law to do what it was intended to do it certainly shouldn't be allowing big aussie 6 cylinder engines. There probably isn't a car slow enough yet equipped and safe enough for the law to make much of a difference. Though 2.2L '98 camry's might be close . But with how a mere 3.5 L magna gets up to speed, it's more than enough to hurt yourself easily if you're driving like a fool.

The problem in this country is largely cultural, people are obsessed that speed kills, whereas someone doing 120 km/h in a skyline on the more open parts of the f3, leaving safe gaps and just cruising, is being far safer than someone tailgaiting a green p-plater at 100 km/h. But it would be hugely unpopular to force learners to take "hoon" driving courses or to let them be taught by qualified instructors, esp when the government can just lower speed limits, say speeding kills then claim they're doing all they can to make the roads safer.

Unrelated to the above pic, was just saying,hoping for webber to do well means constant disappointment. And one hd uses every gp as just random ad time, placed at interesting parts of the race. Every weekend we just hope for better-than-awful coverage and we're usually disappointed

I drove a manual one, and it had a whole heap of power (225rwkw) up top, but was so laggy and torqueless it had nothing with 4 people in the car. Whereas my r34 gtt at the time had a whole lot of guts regardless of how many people were in the car and what rpm it was at, it just seemed to do the job. There's >70hp and 100 Nm between the 2jz and vvti 1uz too, is the v8 really not much quicker?

I'm thinking of a soarer next, have only ever driven a laggy tt 1jz and was fairly turned off, but thinking the v8 might be a bit of a nice "muscly" cruiser, certainly freaking cheap, insanely well equipped and sound (or can sound) amazing!!

Most people, especially p-platers, forget that p-platers are still learner drivers. I don't mean that in an offensive way, but I know a fair few and having been driving for 6 years longer than them I notice how quick they are to abandon simple, safe rules. Like usually drive at 10 and 2, or at least when maneuvering the car; and braking harder earlier, rather than cutting it close when emergency braking. I've taken a few L-platers I've had to teach to a quiet, un-used abandoned street and told them to slam on the brakes, there's nothing more important than having some sense of how quick your car will stop, and knowing what abs does and how it helps. Plenty of drivers fail at even that. It's not just that, it's that the road is not a race track. It has kids running out and drivers falling asleep. The road a surprisingly dangerous place.

Man it's hard being a webber fan. Hope network 10 gets a sh!tload of hatemail for AGAIN just trying to ruin a gp

How do you know the spare set wasn't in just as bad a condition?

Super drager, what one earth did your mate say to get off all those times?! That's insane!!

Unless things have changed over the last 12-18 months?

Not true sorry mate, they're a different plug. Aftermarket sensors are made sold cheaper for r33's but not for r34's.

wow lol cracked.com, that site can use up so much time hahaha
