lmao... i was the one that developed that translation software... it takes japanese letters, then gets the syllables that it creates and then compares it to an english dictionary, if it dosen't exist then it prints it as syllables in capitals.

Took me 1 month to make the software break up words and then figure out the various syllables based on the proximity of characters. But yeah, its a tad ghey with its translations sometimes, hehe.

Gayarudo is how the japs pronounce gallardo.

Right now I'm on hols, but when I get back I'll be making a system that works with the live auctions so that it retrieves sale prices, so when our members look thru cars, they can see past auction data and see average prices and other stats that will help them budget n put realistic bids on cars that will hopefully win them cars.

The system we had previously would scan the japanese text from the auction data for preset words like "Skyline GTSt" and then only list that. With the new syllable based word recognition system the entire description is translated, so as a user you get more info.

      Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.

      Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true

      Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
