I drove a Bullet today. It was amazing, coolest car I've ever had the pleasure to drive.

It's a tuned up Lexus LS400 engine built around a space frame with a Mazda MX5 body on it, only the body is mostly Carbon/Kevlar with carbon-fibre goodies and looks shed loads better than an MX5. The suspension is awsome to it feels like a giant Indy car/go kart thing.

Oh, and it sounds like giant God farts or a XR8 on crack! It sounded so good I don't know how to describe it, but it made my nipples very hard :D

It was made on the Gold Coast. I don't know if they still make them though.

Anyone seen one?

The interior looks gay in the pic's but it's all leather and Recaro seats so it's pretty nice.

My Brother and I drove it from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast and the traction was awsome? I heard it's 0-100 in about 4 seconds and it felt like it! It makes you floor it just so you can hear it!

I think an Arial Atom would whip it hands down but it's certinly more practical than the Arial. I thik a Gtr would beat it to as a Gtr sort of makes you into a better driver and helps you out as this would just oversteer you round in circles if you were ham fisted. It was really easy to live with in town or the highway, it's cool when people flip out when they hear it :(

We ended up swapping my 98 Gtt and an old Stagea for it! It's only got 20,000k's.

Nice stuff, but damn they overcharge. I have plans to import a Miata under Race Rally scheme and slap a Soarer V8 in it for track. <$5K for the car, $1K for the engine so I'm thinking it will happen for under $10K doing the conversion myself.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
