Meh.. Im in

You just keep on doing it to yourself don't you. Spend more than 5 mins on the Honda/Toyota forums, and you'll see they're actually more about performance over aesthetics. I shake my head at you sir. As for the topic on hand. Ive already said it before - just keep social networking to social networking sites yo.

Random.. Looks like one of my mates in that pic

I, for one, also wouldnt own a Veyron Audi R8 thanks. One drove past me yesterday afternoon, and I got weak at the knees

Turbo(s) is/are the size of Truck(s) Made to spec

Taken from Toyspeed This is some engine: Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today. The Aioi Works of Japan 's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines and is where some of these pictures were taken. It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them. The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version. Some facts on the 14 cylinder version: Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.) Length: 89 feet Height: 44 feet Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion. For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range. Even at its most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour. A cross section of the RTA96C: The internals of this engine are a bit different than most automotive engines. The top of the connecting rod is not attached directly to the piston. The top of the connecting rod attaches to a "crosshead" which rides in guide channels. A long piston rod then connects the crosshead to the piston. I assume this is done so the the sideways forces produced by the connecting rod are absorbed by the crosshead and not by the piston. Those sideways forces are what makes the cylinders in an auto engine get oval-shaped over time. Installing the "thin-shell" bearings. Crank & rod journals are 38" in diameter and 16" wide: The crank sitting in the block (also known as a "gondola-style" bedplate). This is a 10 cylinder version. Note the steps by each crank throw that lead down into the crankcase: A piston & piston rod assembly. The piston is at the top. The large square plate at the bottom is where the whole assembly attaches to the crosshead: Some pistons: And some piston rods: The "spikes" on the piston rods are hollow tubes that go into the holes you can see on the bottom of the pistons (left picture) and inject oil into the inside of the piston which keeps the top of the piston from overheating. Some high-performance auto engines have a similar feature where an oil squirter nozzle squirts oil onto the bottom of the piston. The cylinder deck (10 cylinder version). Cylinder liners are die-cast ductile cast iron. Look at the size of those head studs!: The first completed 12 cylinder engine:

Looks shopped to me

$3.7 mil.. I'm not impressed

Thats what she said!

That cab is win

Every time ive been on it tells me its under technical maintenance.. Bah

I dont think its weird at all.. We.. Are.. All.. Different ya know

Hey Ive got a fibre glass Race pro intake end thing at home if anyones' interested. Its not round though, its rectangular. Perfect for behind the E36 fog light hole though

Intense. keep posting em if you got more!

f**k is that drifting pic for real??? Is his car really set up like that

Meh. Its not really that big a deal. Nothing happens in NZ, so what. The media have nothing else to hype up

E93 M3 coupe or cab for me thanks. 2002 Was second

Woo hoo I was helpful! They're shiny too!

f**k, I know what you mean bra. Calling ftw

That is a mad full pipe! Would totally jam that

+1 for M5 kit. Thats hawt

+ Motorsport front bumper, smoked repeaters, 20% tints and bags = win

Muahahaha: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-214950595.htm

I can totally multitask. Recreated my own version of Gusto's famous hash stacks this morning and had to use 2 different pans, the oven and the toaster. Everything was ready at the same time and was f**king beautiful.. And I did it all by myself! No women or nothing! (She was tidying the house as a good woman does) Hash stacks ftw
