automatic switch off of all electrical equipment when battery is low, so you never get caught out with a flat batt.

Wow that is great, all my jappa does is buzz to tell me if I have left the lights on or left the keys in the ignition. Far ...

that article is strange,
its like Lexus never existed to them,
someone has a horn on for CFRP much?

Why would Lexus get a mention? Because of the LFA?
not saying they would get a mention,

things like...
"The concept is the only vehicle manufactured in the world to have mastered the ...

At the same time Lamborghini has gone the other way and built a light car

Ever heard of "Corporate identity"?

yes i have and it seems lotus is/might walking away from there established lightweight identity. maybe trying to fill the lost aston martin spot?

Lamborghini was sort of expected to go light weight but not as drastic as they seem to be going, when the ...

after owning the bmw 745i for a year i must say its a great car,
best feature about the car is the computer, it tells you when things need fixing or looked at before it becomes a major problem.

e.g
(warning rear brake pads down to 25%)
so you service it before the brake sensor is chewed ...

Play the odd scratchie

for dads 50th birthday we got him 50 $1 scratches. was quite funny seeing him win $1-$2 all night.

you cant check a rear engine mount just by looking at it, the rubber hides cracks really well, best way is to put it on a hoist and rock the engine back and forward to see if it peals the rubbers,
i had this problem in the girls auto ae111 and it was rear engine mount.

the long green one is for emissions control ecu, can be unplugged without any ill effect,
you can find a useful.....
speed signal
rpm signal
batt+ and 12v switched power from it,

cant remember what the small one is for just yet, will have a look tomorrow,

whats really annoying, you get a structural engineer out the check it. pay them,
and then the insurance company will THERE structural engineer out to recheck.
then the council will want there structural engineer to check.

and so on, its such a pain, my building has been checked 3 times with ...

oh from gen2 then its sweet, you said gtt and i thought gtt caldina,

yes

i dont think you can use st215 cams in your st205 motor, because i think the intake cam is slightly shorter where the sensor trigger arm is bolted on, so you wont have enough meat to cut for the dizzy slot.
i might be wrong but best to check as i remember telling a friend it looked shorter ...

caldina st215 intake cam needs the cam sensor trigger bolted onto the end of the cam (where the notch for dissy would be on gen 2 and 3)

but fact is manufacturers already over-engineer their cambelts cause it would look really bad if a OEM cambelt broke, resulting in catostrophic engine failure. doesn't do much for brand image does it!?

cam belts should be done before 100,000k best at 80,000k
manufacturers wont give a toss ...
