  1. Top end is for track cars and dyno queens On the street the low and mid range is where it's at Besides, I'd have no less top end than this RB26, which doesn't appear to be lacking Just a much more linear and torquey low/mid; borderline naturally aspirated. Wouldn't please Grant. Yes you can whack a huge turbo on an RB30, but to me that defeats the point of a displacement upgrade which usually done for a better low and mid range, especially when your enormous power exceed usability on the street - you end up sacrificing the extra response for power you never see touch the ground.
  2. GT-SS They'll be fine; it'll be a response monster a responster
  3. BGCH Sounds like a new party / rape drug But congratulations
  4. Eggs fgt
  5. After he comes along to a meet And shows us his girlfriend
  6. Leaning towards a standard one for half the price. 600hp is a fair whack of power, but I assume that's at the engine, in which case the turbos and current tune are already putting that out on 98...and I'd like to go ethanol. Revving that other one to over 9000 would be ridiculous There's just something so spastically awesome sounding about a 3 litre twin turbo all wheel drive on ethanol, before I've even heard the exhaust note This may have just gone from a possibility into a must do
  7. How much we reckon it would cost to ship a RIPS here?
  8. Only if your throttle is an on/off button
  9. This company interests me, particularly as they can come already adapted for 4WD
  10. For that money I'd want receipts from a reputable workshop and compression tests etc.
  11. In qld? If so it's on eBay too Not a fan of the gear he's used in it, $350 forged pistons etc.
  12. Sounds like the perfect candidate for your next spontaneous combustion
  13. Are you really fighting people off with a stick though? You dug your own thread up lol
  14. People over complicate this stuff way too much. Special nuts and eating during a solar eclipse, concoctions of synthesised drug lab fat and protein mixes void of carbs (which actually help you lift weights). Calories in and calories out; pretty much what rev said. There are no magic calories that appear on the body without you eating. The body also cannot move without consuming calories. These laws of biology are non negotiable. There are other factors that affect how this process works, the 1%ers rev talks about, but the process itself is static. And people who say they can't lose weight are ALWAYS doing one of two things: 1. Eating crap food or too much food, or 2. Shit exercise or not enough of it. The rest of the little tricks like timing of meals and quantities and all that are just excuses and mind tricks trying to get past the stuff that actually makes a difference - good food and good exercise. Take shit food out of your diet. You know what this food is, your mother taught you when you were 5. It doesn't taste as good as the bad food. If you're not losing weight after that, then eat less food or lift more and heavier weights. People think just because they're at the gym doing exercise means they're making up for the bad food they've eaten? Cardio burns fat, but nothing like an intense weights session that puts the body into a catabolic state, using calories long after you stop exercise. People find it hard to believe that I complete on average only 2 x 40 minute sessions of intense weight lifting a week and eat what I eat. Fast metabolism usually gets the credit for it, because I guess it's easier for them to blame fat ass genetics than it is to get off that fat ass and make changes.
  15. This is the same mentality as people entering lotto when it's a big prize draw lol All it says to me is bigger chance of cops
  16. Simon caught a virus from coxsucking? Wha?
  17. When I can take it for a spin myself lol
  18. Alvin may like to correct me, but I don't think e85 goes off / loses it's octane in tanks as fast as say 98 would. They would be sealed to prevent water build up, and alcohol/ethanol doesn't really go off over time? (in some cases improves!)
  19. Must be the aftermarket using it - that or united are seriously committed to marketing it, because they keep popping up new servos with E85 / installing tanks.
  20. I disagree on the LPG, it may be proportional but back a few years ago during the LPG boom when every man and his dog were doing conversions for $500, the price of the stuff jumped up with little to no change to petrol prices. I was filling up at 40 cents a litre or less and out of nowhere the shit skyrocketed...I put it down to demand.
  21. Same thing that happened with LPG I imagine. More people use, more demand = can afford to push up the price. They would have made it cheap as shit to get people using it and now they have a decent customer base, someone has to pay for all the new pumps. But 98 used to be 10 cents a litre more than 91, and the difference keeps going up. So as long as E85 stays lower than 98, proportionate to the extra fuel usage, I'm happy. Even if a little more expensive to run it's worth it. United recently took over a servo 2km down the road from my house and put an E85 pump in - so handy! Used to have to fill up 3km away from my work.
  22. I has it
  23. So close
  24. I'd like to thank Wormald fire extinguishers for their ongoing support with the build
