    Moto2 is brilliant. Moto3 is going to be pure mayhem next year. Can't wait. Stoner is going to brain them this year and next. Rossi will be on a satellite Honda next year, with full factory backing. Stoner will own him.

    You're not comparing apples and apples. Hire say an R32 Golf or Evo and you're probably looking at a couple hundred euro a day which makes it a very, very different prospect. Even at 300 euro a day, that makes 3k for 10 days. You'd be lucky to get your car there, through customs, on the road and then back again for under $20k and in less than 3 months.

    Will it fit a Stagea? Can I buy some off you? If you're going to part out your car I call dibs on your boost.

    Mmm....i don't think there's anything you can do. There are some electronic rust preventing devices around. In theory the make sense, but i don't think they've been proven to work in practice.
  5. Cowboy1600
    You need something to provide the electrons to the oxygen instead of them coming from the iron that your car is made out of. Rust happens when impure water steals electrons from impure iron (there are other reactions which can happen, but this is what's happening to your car). So a sacrificial anode will supply those electrons to the oxygen instead of them coming from your chassis rails
  6. Cowboy1600
    You're kinda right. Fishoil coats the rust and surrounding metal which stops oxygen (in water) getting to it which is what causes rust. It won't stop it completely, but will significantly slow it down. You need something to act as a sacrificial anode to stop it completely.
  7. Cowboy1600
    Nah, shouldn't matter. I would take a stab and say you're only seeing a bit of surface rust, unlikely to be very deep. That said, get some fish oil on it and it will stop it from getting any worse.
  8. Cowboy1600
    Grab a can of Fish oil. http://www.whiteknightpaints.com.au/product/view/fish-oil Then once you have the engine out you can treat it properly.

    That's what people need to realise. You are limited by valve surface area. I'd say 1400hp out of 1.5L is about the limit. Although one big advance over the past 15 years has been in metallurgy which has allowed bigger bores and smaller strokes. Look at slipper pistons, especially as now used in motorbikes. That said, I'd say efficiency rather than outright power is where the big advances have lead us.

    Pics or it didn't happen.
  11. Cowboy1600
    Oops, I forgot it's a rotary. That certainly changes the equation, but I think any 5.2L motor is always going to struggle to put out nearly 3000hp for a decent length of time.
  12. Cowboy1600
    350hp out of a 650cc single cylinder? Yeah, I don't think so. No amount of forced induction and weird and wonderful fuel is going to hit that. Not to mention 440nm of twist. You would need the equivalent valve area of a small block V8 in each cylinder to achieve that kind of power.

    Anyone able to take a punt and tell me why I cannot get the hub out? I've removed the four bolts at the back and cannot find ANYTHING this is holding it on. I hit it with the puller, it was very hard but I gave it a turn and something went bang and a tiny bit of broken metal fell out. It's easier to turn now but the WHOLE assembly is coming off the CV shaft. It's got me buggered.
  14. Cowboy1600
    30hp out of 50cc? That's a big call. A 125 GP bike makes 50hp. The 250s used to make just over 100hp.
  15. Cowboy1600
    Jeez, talk about humour fail.
  16. Cowboy1600
    No LAMS in WA till next year, so that means 260cc max.
  17. Cowboy1600
    Another Laughable Foray into Automobiles.
  18. Cowboy1600
    I LOLed. This is what happened the last time someone tried to run 1000nm of twist through a WRX box.
  19. Cowboy1600
    Just go and get your license proper. Then get a scooter. Then, once you're on you full license get anything the heck you want.
  20. Cowboy1600
    ....really? You'd buy a car made by the France? Wow. Next you be suggesting an Alfa.
  21. Cowboy1600
    I find that very hard to believe. Maybe for a complete brake set, ie. discs, calipers, pads, lines, booster, pedal, ABS unit and so on. And even then I'd be surprised if all that was $36k.
  22. Cowboy1600
    I saw coppers writing up a ticket for a GTST parked in a loading zone outside Coles in Diamond Creek one night. It was after hours and a place where everyone parks, so I thought it was a bit tough. Then I saw it had a GTR badge on it so I told them to book him twice.
  23. Cowboy1600
    Most scooters should comfortably get along at 100-110. The Yamaha Aerox 100 is a good one. I like 2 strokes. Although they tend to top out at about 100. That said, there are tons of aftermarket bit available to get them cranking harder like pipes, clutches, carbies, barrels and the like.

    They do 0-100mph in around 0.7 seconds. They are 30ft long and by the time the back wheels get to where the front wheels started from they are doing 100kph. It's kinda like trying to comprehend the size of the universe. My poor brain can't compute the awesomeness.

    In desperate need or left hand rear wheel bearing for the following: VIN: WGNC34 127902 Model: TGKPREFC34UDA--A-- Prod: 9903 It's a 99 Stagea RS Four S (Factory Manual)
