Nyeheh...

Takumi still doesn't know that Bunta has the WRX STi, and in every way the STi is superiour to the AE86...

More power, better brakes, lower centre of gravity... And for once, AWD is an advantage for them (Skylines are unbalanced, and front heavy, do to the higher centre of gravity producted by an upright engine, the flat four that a Subaru has drastically reduces the centre of gravity, thus improving the handling of the car, even for it's weight...)

Actually, with the WRX, and no doubt modifications, Tak could push that car as much as he wanted, and probably still lose, without it actually coming down to driver skill... It's not like the other races that had advantages and disadvantages for both cars, it's more of a monster than an EVO

I never actually finished school... It got too boring for me so I quit... It's annoying not having the qualifications on my resume or anything like that... But if it comes down to a practical assessment, almost always come out on top of that :P

Good luck to everyone with exams though... They're not easy, but if you keep at it you'll get there... And thanks to LE for the great fan subs

Yeah, we learnt that one the last time :P

Yeah... All 4... 2nd stage is in canto for all but one ep... So I want to re download that at some point...

As for downloading it... Not entirely sure, I got it off suprnova shortly before it went bust... But if I can knock up another hi throughput server soon, I'll be sure to let you know (10mbit... Not so fast, 1.5 tb of transfer, bloody excellent :D)

I can't wait for them to get released then fansubbed by LE... Since I've made it a mission that I download nothing but their fansubs for my collection (All four stages)... A project I wouldn't mind seeing done is a "remaster" of the first and second stages... Say, taking the DVDs, and fan subbing them so they're done properly instead of the Tokyopop ones... Here we go again :P

Nah, just be nice to have fansubs of them, so I can actually watch them, as the DVDs I've gotten havn't been good quality, and the fansubs I have are off VHS :/

Unleaded cars were coming out of Japan early 80's... Possibly earlier

For example, the Sprinter, '83 - '85 (Or so some sites say), unleaded... Models before it were unleaded as well... Just seems that cars made by us westerners were still running leaded fuel untill about '85 :/

Well RB25DE engines require Premium unleaded fuel, which here is a RON of 98... Octate booster adds an extra 2 RON points... So there you go :)

90hp? 68Kw... What kinda car? :/

Compression ratio will be 10.5:1... Who said I need a turbo for high compression ratioes? :P

This is a tempoary power boost untill I can afford the supercharger, which with the right pistons and everything else will bring me to about 500rwhp... Possibly more

If anyone's curious to know, I'm creating an RB30DE, getting a second RB30E (For about AU$400.00 from a wreckers), and an RB25DE from an R32 GTS 2.5 (The R33 GTS model has Variable Cam Timing, and requires more block modification, while the R32 one lines up perfectly, a simple bolt on mod).

If I left it at that, it would be an 8.3:1 compression ratio, perfect for turbo/super charging, but being as an N/A car, it'll run like crap... Thus I'm putting the RB25DE pistons in, and running a 10.5:1 compression ratio, with my 2990CCs capacity still, and the advantage of DOHC >:)

I have also considered just getting the RB25DE pistons, and an RB26DETT head, as all that is different from that is the stud holes, needing to be bored out a little more, but that's basically it.

Other things I'll need to do is source the oil pump from the RB25DE and get a new timing belt, as neither belt will be long enough (RB25DE belt will be about 11 teeth short from memory)

So all in all, I'm at about a grand at the moment on this, then there's the manual conversion with a GMH VL Commodore (Never released in the US) turbo manual gearbox (Made by Nissan!), and the ECU out of the R32 GTR... 2 1/2 inch exhaust stuff... Not much change from AU$3,000.00!

If anyone's interested in what I'm doing, when I get started I might put stuff up on the web about it :)

Super Euro Beat from what my mp3s here say (God I wish they were mp4s :/)

Hellbent: At the moment my car is almost completely stock, making about 110rwhp with an RB30E... I need another $3,000.00 or so and I'll have about 230rwhp :P *And no, it's not a bloody turbo!*

Just the downside of the mods is that I have to run premium unleaded else the engine will ping and run like crap... BP Ultimate + Octate booster = 100 octate (Our working out method), which is the same octate content as AVGAS (Airplane fuel >:) )

If my car had my new deck installed in it and the speakers I'm about to buy... I'd be able to listen to something in the car... Full stop... Gah I hate being broke!

And today's lesson is "If removing switches from car, unplug, don't cut... It causes less damage for you :P"

I don't mind listening to it all... I go through phases though... Listen to a genre, then another, then another... I guess it keeps me able to live with limited music (About 12,000 songs, give or take)

There is also a difference in the types of superchargers used...

Three main types:

Roots
Centrifugal
Twin Screw

They all have advantages and disadvantages... See http://www.proficientperformance.com/tech_centrifugal_vs_roots.php for more info :)

Hi flow cat... 2 1/2 inch all the way through with two hi flow mufflers, little louder but zip power loss compaired to the other two...

Costing $390.00 AUD for a rear bumper removed, repainted and refitted... Ouchies for me...

It's costing me about a grand and a half for my stereo system in my car :(
