And to add onto Sean's very informative numbers there, would it be too brave to say that the overall improvement in his times listed were caused by an INCREASE in power? You would have to stip quite alot of interior trim to get such changes in recorded times.

Haha. Don't spend ALL of it. Set yourself a budget. Put away enough money every week to cover expenses with the car. Put away a little bit to contribute towards a holiday for yourself. Put away what you need for bills. Then you can spend the rest. If you dont have enough left over to spend...

And as for fuel consumption differences - came to a conclusion that "we'd be splitting hairs" to try and figure out how much difference it would make. Although it is safe to say that you will use more fuel while you a) have fun thrashing your revvy engine) and b) while you adjust to driving the...

equation 1: T = I * theta-double-dot ie: the 2nd derivative of theta (where theta is the angular displacement of the flyhweel) We're effectively using an equivilant of F=ma and an equivilant unit that is 'mass' for spinning things So lightening ANY component of the engine's moving mechanical...

You in australia? I believe this is the airbag steering wheel fitted to selected Aussie K11 series 2 LX/SLX and standard on Super S. Has it got the oiginal centre cap? Just looking at it now, i wonder if i wont be able to install the R33 GTR leather wrapped version with red stiching in the...

Damn. Who wants to help me with deconstructing the physics behind why a lightened flywheel works, what effect it has being bolted onto the crankshaft, and how much power would the motor make if you measured the power directly from the crankshaft and not the flywheel and therefore would you get...

Foglights arent required by law on Australian roads. Its a pain in the ass that people get their cars WITH foglights equipped and turn them on during normal conditions and blind everyone behind them with their super red rear foglights. Mainly Hyundai Excel drivers too. GRRRRR

PS: the above may not make sense unless you are familiar with the poort design of the valvetrain in the SR20DE series motor.

Sean are you wearing your pink shirt? You know I know what usually happens when a chain or belt snaps. I should have explained! When they pulled the motor apart it WAS compression lock. None of the valve or pistons were damaged (they had hit though, there were markings on the pistons). The...

Oh brendon, you werent going too fast then. THe speed cut is only at 180km/hr :P

napster you seem pretty sensible. infact i think you're too sensible. WTF are your mates going into town, blowing their money on girls and drinks WITHOUT YOU? Get in there and have a bawl. Spoil yourself. You may not have another chance to do it! *walks off grumbling*

Agree with snoopy - mate had that happen with his Pulsar. Driving down the M1 at 120km/hr and the timing chain snaps. Engine compression locks and front left hand wheel locks up... He managed to pull over without parking around the largest concrete pole the car could find. Anyway that aside...

That is the best shape MR2 without a doubt. THe only one which comes close is the topless model before it...

WOAH there - are you saying that your micra is at cleveland nissan?

Only when they get all scratched and start to yellow. :) Otherwise they are very cool with the little micra bubble on them.

Someone needs to try the resoldering guide on it! Alternatively, get nissan to put a new one on it and send the bill to Caltex!!!!!!

depending on the cost of them probably more efficient money wise to sell the 1.0L and buy a 1.3L. and if you are having trouble affording insurance as it is - i would recommend AGAINST performance modifications...

What did you do with the super s steering rack? ..Would you sell it?

Have fun getting them, i doubt you'll be able to buy them new from nissan anymore. Go down to supercheap and have a look around for a clear plastic film which you stick on (might be able to get it from clark rubber as well). Its about 5mm thick and its very flexy. YOu bascially cut it out to...

Well then you need to build some kind of water creating device. :P Condensor ahoy!
