I'm probably going to get a licence soon. Have been meaning to for ages. Then get something cheap that works until I can get un-restricted.

I have. I think it's nuts!!!!!!! Interested on what's going to modified for more speed. Aerodynamics should definately come into play at those speeds (and i dont imagine the wing helps), but how much downforce is needed/how much power's it putting out?

i'd be in if i can get mine going :P (this phrase is too common i think)

where abouts is it? NRMA website has a list of recommended places.

Hello all. Was messing around with my galant, and noticed a few sockets disconnected in the boot. The plugs are on the passenger side, one with a massive lead. I'll upload a pic of it all later, but was wondering if anybody had a labeled diagram or something? Thanks Also... it's rusting near...

woah... i wouldnt post that link up. wrong link!!!!!!

slotted will give you better response time when pads are hot by allowing gasses to flow through the slot, and make sure pads are clean. I'd go new over 2nd hand anyways.

stay away from euros... parts really do cost a fortune... but they are reliable.

e85 is less energy content. so you need to burn more to get same amount of power from it. hence massive system requirements.

don't agree with you there, pending the component. When it comes to intakes/plenums, no way. Requires a ridiculous amount of R&R to get it right. Hypertune is an australian company which charges a fairly hefty amount compared to other US brands, and they're good... but not as good as HKS. And...

i think a good example here is... how many chinese copies of shit do you see on oem parts/how many cars are released from factory with cheap chinese copies? none. because reliability is worth more to them than cutting corners and releasing crap.

car's ability to perform on wrc shows the class of the engineers working for the companies, so i do believe that some people would definately purchase them because of their performance in rallies.

that's just the manufacturing even. There are an insane amount of hours to price a team of engineers to design the components to manufacture. Just as a ballpark figure... an assistant engineer costs $130/hr, and you'd need them, because your average person can't use the cad or cfd modelling...

lmao. does the same job? are you kidding? you think they use the same bearings? the same profiles for the compressor and turbine wheels? same size housings? as i said... THEY DO NOT WANT TO SELL 3 TIMES THE AMOUNT OF TURBOS!!!! or, they'd like to, but they're not even gonna break even if they...

is why patents exist. is fairly amusing when copies come out that fail because they have little/no engineering or design knowledge and miss critical elements of the design :)

try paying a team of engineers to build something for you that's up to those standards, then let us know how you go. those companies specialise with QUALITY parts, not crap. there are plenty of companies to buy crap from if you'd like, just look on ebay. they focus selling to people such as...

we did a test at uni for a big name performance workshop, comparing hardnesses of greddy cams to chinese rip off ones. chinese ones weren't anywhere near the hardness of the greddy ones :( but yeah, i agree. some places might be alright, just not all, and is dragging down the reps of anybody...

lol... ffs...

baz, the problem is that their manufacturing methods and techniques (in some industries at least) are dodgey. With mining example: they weld pipes together without prepping them for example, so the welds crack because they don't have full penetration, so now nobody wants their products. Is a...
