your download speed eats mine, but i have a faster upload speed and i am only on 512kbps

there was a fella in gympie that had an origianl monaro that he sold for 6 figures. he sent it down to auction in brissy or sydney with a reserve of something stupid like 75k just for shits and giggles and it ended up going for well over 100k. he had owned it from new and still had the original receipt from holden for it. but that is because they can turn them into replicas of the phase 2. but if you go and buy a dirty old torana you won't get that much for it unless it is 1 of the classic ones.

bahahahahahahahaha

what do you mean? and was midfield done on gt3 or gt4?

in the dry wider tyres will grip better. in the wet if they are too wide they are more likely to aquaplane as they have to pump out more water. more grip isn't always a good thing though. the trade off with grip is resistance. a wider tyre has more resistance, so at higher speed wider tyres can reduce acceleration and top speed. for the drags you want as grippy (not necessarilly the widest) tyre you can get as the launch is all about grip. a supper tacky 225 will grip better than a rock hard 305. but then once you are up and going and have no problems with wheelspin you want a skinny tyre again to reduce resistance. and on the front you would want as skinny as possible to reduce rolling resistance. for track work you want grip all round so you even up the tyre sizes since the front needs grip to stop the brakes locking (a gbetter tyre will let you brake latter than bigger breaks (unless you are unable to lock a wheel with your current brakes), as bigger brakes will make it easier to lock a brake, but better grip means the road will keep forcing the tyre to keep rotating under a higher breaking force) and give you turn in without understeer. if you got 2 tyres of the same compound, 1 a 225 and the other a 245 then the 245 would have more grip as they are the same compound, but if you get a 235 semi slick and a 265 cheap chinese tyre the semi slick will be much better.

the launch control is in the EMU itself. and you use the software to control it

yes you will need the loom to plug it into the stock ecu.

it would still be less work (and money) then fitting a hybrid style cooler, and less money than a cooler kit that uses the stock piping. i don't think it perform that differently to some of the apexi coolers that i have seen on 33's.

not if you just spin in 180 degrees, not actually turn it over.

i'd probably say emanage. it is extremely easy to tune, and will be more than capable of getting 250kw.

yeah, not having limiters makes it heaps easier to tune.

since you still use your stock ecu, it doesn't need a base map. when you first hook it up it has no base map you just continue to run off the stock ecu settings. then when you start tuning all you are doing is altering the stock signals.

don't give me answers on topic! but if you go back to the origins of it it goes back to roman times when they drove their charriots on the left so the the wip wasn't on the street side (since most people were right handed and carried their wip in their right hand). then when napolean came along he just made it however he wanted but he never got as far as england so they stayed the way they were.

and what is it with you guys over there driving on the right hand side of the road? is america just like a big kid? they thought "england drives on the left, and even though we are a colony of england i don't listen to anyone so i am going to drive on the right!"

another site for doing speed tests is http://www.ozspeedtest.com/ (thanks tones)

yeah trying to touch an exhaust that has had hot gas throuh it is rather silly. unburnt fuel will actually cool the exhaust not heat it up. if it is unburnt then it means that it didn't reach a high enough temp to ignite so it will be cooler than the gas from the fuel that did ignite. is the sound of it cooling down a ting ting noise? if it is, that is just the metal contracting as it cools. yuo will hear a tin roof on a house doing the same thing on a hot day. it is normal.

with the speed that my broadband is going dial-up i think would be an improvement

and i am back to dial-up speed again. this is pissing me right off!!!

more than likely

i wanted to, but the missus wouldn't let me

well i reset my modem and i have speed now

well i am now on my 512, but not happy jan!

just did a test before i change to 512kb. pretty consistent.

yeah i knew it was something like that. and james, you're just jealous

i'm pretty sure that the silvia and sil80 were factory imports in america (hence the steering wheel being on the wrong side, LOL). hey dude, welcome to the forums. don't take anything ctjet or myself say too seriously. we are the resident bully's of wasteland.
