well now....
Fastest i've ever driven.. don't laugh. it was in a Suzuki Swift GTi, Mk1, 1300cc G13B engine.. I had it upto 210k.. it took ages to get there.. (this was 8-9 years ago), I was doing 7300rpm in 5th gear.. 7400rpm was the rev cut.. (this was an NZNEW car, no restrictions).

Most of ...

I'm gonna take the POS 1984 si civic this time, it was pointless taking my stock WRX for the 20th January Drags and racing in the 4wd turbo class, i'll have a better chance in the old sh1ter in FWD na class.

Think i'll do 3x Hard out runs with redline launch.. then take it easy for the DYO, although i find it hard it get off the line well without doing a hell launch, it always bogs down, or i slip the clutch too much and it smells bad.. lol

mm yeah.. lunching gearboxes isn't the best thing i agree, mine was rebuilt 4 months ago, 1st gear was stripped my clutch has done 7000ks, gearbox 6000k since having new bits put in.. but yeah.. i don't do redline launches.. side stepping the clutch kills em, gota take ya put off quick but not too ...

No engine mods, but the cusco front lsd helps it launch better it would seem.. although launch aint everything I guess.
It has a few STi bits, ie steering rod/arms etc. but yeah nothing that helps straight line speed

So i'm not expecting too much, i did 13.57@100mph on my G-Timer, mates 97 Twin turbo 2.5 tiptronic VR4 only got 15.03 on it

The same as the 2E-TELU? they look the same to me, but does anyone have 1st hand experience?

yeap. maybe someone died in the car? if thats the case you will never get rid of the smell, i saw a doco on discovery channel..

ahh good ole cartest, i've had this program for about 5 years now
its not that accurate. it can't emulate traction that well etc.

it said my WRX should do 13.7, i did 13.57 in real life.

Why not an MR2 GT, has the same model engine as the GT4, but the car is lighter and more realiable (in my opinion) and uses less fuel (thanks to only being rwd and not 4x4)

My advice is keep the car you have, i've been down this road before, your current car will go for years without needing to have a fortune spent on it you could get a decent gearbox for it for $500 probably (which is nothing compared to the cost of keeping a GT4 maintained etc).
If you buy a GT4 ...

Sold that on trademe, wasn't a bad car really, but used about as much fuel as the wrx.

yeah, well its more of a tapping than a knocking..
but i thought if it was bearings that it would do it all the time or noisy on startup and then get quieter.
I just dropped it off to me mates to check out.. will see how it goes

I bought this cheap starlet, due to the fact it has an engine knock.

It makes a loud kinda tap tap tap tap noise when its idling, for say 10seconds, then the noise goes away for about 15 seconds, then comes back, then goes etc.

Whats this most likely going to be?
Run a bearing I'm guessing ...

I've decided I need a gearbox with LSD, so was wondering if I can do this without any dramas? or would I also needs the BZ-R ecu etC?

The 20v trueno./levins etc will never have the low down torque of a 2litre Celica (even my old 1986 one felt like it had alot more low down than me 20v), however the levin is still quicker (if u thrash it) my 0-100 took 8.6 in the celica, takes 7.4 in the levin.
The Celica doesn't really have any ...

I have a 83 dx corolla sedan and have the following which i want to know if it would run properly

2tgeu factory loom and ECU
Garrett t2 turbo
rx7 injectors
rx7 intercooler
t50 box and drive train

What i want to know is would i be able to run the factory ECU and fit the t2 turbo and would it run ...

ok for about half an hour i was f**king angry about finding that cheap rs but then i realised 2 things.... the rs has a sun roof which cuts ur head room in half which for 6,6 me is really really bad.... and i wanted an auto..... when you are as tall as me the constant shifting is not only annoying ...

1. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 603362.htm Buy this for $4200 (cheaper than spending $5000 on yours). This gets you a 92 Facelift RS Legacy Sedan, (non of this auto shit).

Sell yours.

Spend the $ from the sale of your one on the RS in this ad.

3 litres!- to top up to max level?
for future refference, dont let the car get that low on oil, its fairly bad for it!

Nah - it was just an oil change. I have never had a car go below 'low' (even though they often can without damage).

Thats the gay thing - Honda with 220000kms on the clock - 2L ...
