yarly ;)

I'm thinking it's time for semi's on the street, t1r's are struggling, i'm guessing the ku36's are so cheap because there shit?

i use them. i love them. great tyre, havent let me down yet. sure theyre not in the same league as r888's, but for a 3rd of the price, what have you got to lose?

To all concerned,

Haven't been on here much for good reason ... I've been knocked off my feet for the last week with a nasty flu. I've got a few PMs to attend to, I am aware of. I'm improving and hope to get to your enquiries tonight. Thanks for your patience.

Dale, thanks for your PM reply. I'll call you today ... now I have my voice back!

The life of Dan (a blatant stolen method of posting from ruby)

Home builders took over 6months to put a slab down, government are not going to pay the full grant. Im standing to lose 10k, bomestead domes are claiming they are not liable for the shortfall and it is up to me to pay this difference, along with interest for the amount of time it has not been paid.

They also trying to get me to pay 1600 for a tree chopping I didnt authorise them to cut

Fun times, currently have a house in the ghetto complete waiting to be attacked n crap stolen off it that im liable for.

possible law suit to follow

hey i aint that broke,

legally id say they will be going down. its just the issue of how long it will take to sort that out and how long will this house sit empty in the slums.

the tree issue theres no way there getting anywhere with that, no invoice no pay, no authorisation no pay

:P

oh f**k did i lol! :D

ugh, that pic made me forget what i was gonna post. remembered now. :O

was having a chat to a friend of mine about an hour ago. shes been looking at buying a new car for a while now, her only criteria are it has to look good, and be pretty easy on fuel.

after she had a chat to her bf last night (hes one of those types that "knows everything" about cars, but barely knows how to take a wheel off) shes decided on an rx8. i tell while an rx8 does satisfy the looking good condition (lets face it, mazda rotory's have always been housed in very attractive cars), its no where near being easy on fuel.

her reply to this was her boyfriend said "nah, its only a 1.3 2 cylinder engine, it'll be great on fuel." and now despite my advice, shes convinced that the '8 will be good on fuel...

... so if anyones been thinking about buying an rx8, i might know one that'll be for going cheap soon. :(

it dosnt have cylinders, her argument is invalid. maybe her bf will suggest she get forged pistons in it?

however i think they look pretty decent :O

she should prob look at something like a toyota silycar, honda integra dc 5s are also nice, mx5's no?

Tell her that it is a 2 storke engine (Even though it doesn't have any strokes), so in effect it'll use twice the fuel that a regular 1.3 litre 4 stroke engine does. It's also why they are rated at 2.6 litres when compaired to piston egines and why they make so much power from 1.3 litres.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
