...gry???


Recommended Posts

aggry -- a glass bead found buried in the earth in Ghana.

puggry -- a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect. the head from the sun.

meagry -- of meager appearance.

puggry -- an Indian turban; a scarf worn around a sun helmet.

mawgry -- from Old French: being regarded with displeasure.

aggry -- colored glass beads worn by Africans.

anhungry -- an obsolete word for hungry that is allowed to stay in the dictionary because it shows up in Shakespeare.

Apparently the origin of this riddle was a simple trick of word play. It was meant to be spoken, not written, as the secret to the riddle was in mis-hearing the clue. The riddle went like this:

There are three words in the English language that end in g or y (sounds like "gry"). Angry and hungry are two. What is the third word in the English language. Everyone knows what it is and uses it everyday. The answer (another trick) to "What is the third word in "the English language," to noone's great surprise, is "language."

The riddle, as posted here, represents a real life example of the old "broken telephone" game almost everyone has played in school.

There's a crap load of stuff about the "gry" words on the net! Some people have way too much time on their hands :( :lol:

hrmm.. I was really looking at getting the GT25 Internals in the Std Housing for around 2k but Tilbrooks/JMS have said they arn't that good.

Bill (who does the turbo's) said that he was unsure why it only made 196rwkw with a fully tuned ecu on a RB20DET, he said for some reason it just died in the arse end up top, it should have been good for 210rwkw running 17 psi approx.

He said to me that for the same price he could do it in the RB25DET Housing which hopefully should fix the problem, he also said that different cars make different power hence some not good.

It would have to run around 17-18psi to make over 200rwkw.

Tilbrooks did say that ATS's turbo's had to run to much boost to make decent power.

They also said go a HKS 2530 if you can find it as they are heaps better quicker spooling just a better turbo all over.

Or go a HKS2510 and you will make pretty much just on 200rwkw max.

HKS Turbo's new are around $3500-4000 apparently. :eek:

hrmm.. ppls?? Any Idea's?

    • Yea my question was really relating to having a big stall converter and it's interaction with that. Why would BMW not just put a 5500 stall converter in there stock then? Then the OEM car could just launch control hard.
    • If you fully flushed and filled it's probably good for 5 years. I would not push it any further than that. Generally speaking coolant is more by time than by mileage. Rust wants to happen whether you're driving it 50,000 km or 80,000 km.
    • Modern transmissions like the 8HP lock up as low as ~12 km/h. And they will stay locked even with full throttle in gear. Far, far cry from the days of 3/4/5 speed automatics when they only locked up on overdrive gears and even then only if you didn't put too much torque through it. Manual transmissions are pointless unless you personally enjoy shifting gears. 
    • I read on YouTube that the neo has 2 bleeder valves? Can't see anything in the manual though
    • The only other time I changed it is when I noticed it had become discoloured after a few track days (it was .. yellowish). So I drained and refilled the rad.  I think most people are in this situation. It's not like the car ran any cooler after I changed the coolant either. I'm gonna go with "If it makes you feel better, change it!"
