FF+R's gone the way of the Dodo, =7] I used to buy that religously too back in the mid 90's when I had every issue of "Wheels" from May '1990'. It was the mag that showed me that you could get a old car, do a few mods and make it quicker than new cars costing $50k+ for next to nothing. I c...

To wrap it up a little better, think of it this way. If you have one of those 'whirly bird' roof ventilators, the thing turns because there is a flow of air passing through it. The reason there is a flow of air is because there is a pressure difference between the air in the roof and the air outside...

Well I'll be!

I always thought it was from an acco the car had been in before I owned it. The bloody thing vibrates in and out so much at speed that you can put the fingers of your right hand between the door frame and shell.



Nice one!

With turbo cars, if you are going to do a fuel cut (unless you don't have an option) always due "hard fuel cut", or as you most already know, this will cause dramas.
Ignition cut isn't an issue wether hard or soft.

Don't worry E, I know exactly where Glenn's head space is. When he was down last all I could get out of him was "Beer me. Boy thats a nice beer. Gee did you check out the beers on her! And, I wish this Canberra water tasted a little more like.................beer. =7] No worries Shane, I figure...

Hmmmmmm........ Seems like a awful amount of data searching and exact product replication time wasting to me!! Just grab a tube of silicone sealant, and fill the holes in the standard side mounts. Come on guys, we are dealing with 20+ year old rubber here. The chances that they are even close to &qu...

The 'flutter' that you get when you back of will sound different due to lots of variables: Distance of filter to turbo (volume) Wether there is an AFM and which style (volume) Length of inlet piping between turbo + T/B (pitch) Volume of piping between turbo + T/B (pitch) I/C and its volume (pitch) M...

Thanks fellas. =7] Yeah E, the little girl is not so little anymore, 3 1/2 going on 13! I was just converting some mini DV to DVD last night and was shocked to see how much she has grown in the past 12mths. Little cute thing bumbling through her words (then), to now tell me to "Be quite!" ...

[message for the old farts from the original forum] Hey Glen, E, Dave, (is T still around?) I'm finaly back online, so you will now be able to bask in my old school whit on a regular basis. I was given a brillinat book reicently called "Forced Induction Performance Tuning" by Graham Bell. ...

Why doesn't someone with some cash in the states (or here) get hold of a US Serina transfer case and do it for real!

Is there anyone with a contact in the US who can ship one across?
I would even think about it on the shitta in the olds garage.

I found after I had the box out a loooonnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago, I no longer had reverse (easily), did the 1st to reverse slam for 18mths or so. Even after busting a box and replacing it gave no joy. It turned out that I had installed the slector rod (from the box to the gear stick) upside-down. The ...

Supposedly the quickest FWD in Tassy only runs juuussttt into the 13's. So that title is up for grabs in the meantime.

I think the Top Ten may benifit from a little make-over. How about 'we' introduce a few more catagories to entice people to participate. Something along the lines of: Outright TT Pump fuel TT Street's TT and posibly state by state Top 5 (pretty much anything to get my time back under lights =7] ). T...

Both the E15T and the E16 rods are both 137mm centre to centre, so they are basicly the same deal. Wether you use the Unleaded or leaded slugs will be a determining factor. The leaded slugs give around 2mm clearence from crown to deck height at 5deg TDC (which is by the way the point at which the pi...

Howdy Evan, Merry Xmas and so on. Back in the ol' days, my litttle temp probe in the plumbing with the TO2 would hit the 110c limit within 5 seconds at 13-14psi climbing a hill in 4th. There is some compressor efficiency calculations you can do to find 'just how far' out of its range the little bugg...
