Police chase car from Taupo to Rotorua

8.05am Friday July 28, 2006
A car being pursued by Taupo police continued on after driving over two sets of road spikes before finally being stopped in Rotorua last night.

One person has been arrested. It is not yet known what ...

Another ancient chinese proverb is "to finish first, first you must finish".

Drive 5/10s the first day and slowly up it to about 8-9/10s.

Mind you I spoke to Robbie Francevich one day who said "Nah, F&^k it, go hard out from day one".

I know who's advice I'd follow.... grasshopper.

Good ...

That's what appeals to me. Does anyone know this car?

Try PM'ing nzae86. I think it's him in Hamilton who does some really good high quality GRP stuff such as front air dams.

Hi Guys

Have just put a ltd slip diff in the AE86 as supplied by the previous owner. Not sure of the details but it just slotted into the old diff housing and is a 5.1 ratio from what I was told.

The problem is that the half shafts now appear to be about 5mm too long. Is this normal when going ...

Thanks, big help, interesting that the rev limiter is 1500rpm above max power. Did they build it this bullet proof for any reason, cos at those figures it would be pointless to rev it any past 7500.

Cheers

Can anyone out there please point me in the direction of the original performance specs for a mid 90's 3SGE (alloy sump). I was told they produced about 180hp, but was wondering on torque figures and max rpm.
