Missed it to. A friend SMS'd me AFTER the fact. Grrr.

I'd be very suprised if a 2nd series of TG Oz was commissioned. They're all try hard of the original, however I don't blame the hosts, but the franchise.

I'm standing by to get flamed here but...

Am I the only person on the planet that thinks TopGear is a bit too campy ??, I mean it's like 'queer eye for the straight guy' motoring show

Poofy little guy with lots of make up, and two queer old guys going on gay little adventures ???

Not that there is anything wrong with that if that's your kind of thing but, as a car show...

I better go put on my flameproof pink jumpsuit now

Camp, yes. Gay, no. They're English. That makes them fruits to begin with. Doesn't mean they're not highly entertaining.

I bought my TGLIVE tickets the morning they came out. Can't wait.

If you havent already, download season 11 ep 4 and 5... Jeremy vs the other 2... race from one side of japan to the other, GTR v Bullet train and other forms of transport and then Clarkson takes the GTR to Fuji speedway to review it properly...

Gotta love the cars it beats around the test track too.

I think the aussie show aint too bad. If you have ever watched the first season of the UK "New" Top gear it was crap too. They had Clarkson, Hammond and this fat guy named Jason Daw or something like that and he was terrible! The first season of the NEW format was struggling to get the numbers of people in the first couple of episodes and you could see it in the hangar. Once the second season came and they ditched the fat dude for captain slow it started to get better.

You have to remember they are now 12 seasons strong and have worked together for a few years now. The Aussies are only a season in and they have season 2 coming (already filmed most of it) so it can only get better. They need to ditch Warren the cartoonist though, he is sooo far from being a good car reviewer. Give them time they will get it together.

We are not the only ones to have taken the reigns of the show either. The US and Russia have also got 'local' versions of the show.

UK is still the best though and the new episodes were on tonight

Yeah but the Aussie guys have the wit and screen presence of a rotten carrot thats been in a dogs anal cavity for 3 weeks.

I think they should have gotten the dog to host it :)

a bluey, staffy and a labrador would have been funnier.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
