  1. Me?? yeah,been in druzza for bout the last 25 yrs
  2. i had a mate killed walking home from the jolly farmer.he was drunk and doing the right thing.got taken out by another drunk driver.not good. back 10-15 yrs ago my friends and i never really got onto the piss.probably cause the price of gas took most of our pay back then. that and we were always trying to get our old skool corollas and lancers etc to go as fast as poss. mind you how are you younger guys paying of gas and piss at the moment?? 5c worth.marty
  3. some people dont learn.that or he's got 7 lives left
  4. Thanks to Zenetti aka Johno I am now riding on sum grippy TOYO's.and what a difference. cheers mate for the hookup. ANYONE looking for new rubber-look this guy up.good service and knows his stuff. nice rims in the showroom too.sum alittle too blingy for the e28 but who wouldnt fit 22" p.s. They still smoke up in first and second but hold in third on wards. cheers mate. marty
  5. best thing i've seen a few months back was and still is; guys cutting the centre out of the front bumper and buying the biggest intercool off trademe and sticking it in there. COOL. engine is still N/A. probably got the PHEEEEFT noises dubbed onto tape to play back when 'dragging' off their mates. now that i have a snail under the bonnet i do feel like i'm 18 again.i love the whistle of the fins winding up.and the bov doing its thing.its gonna take awhile before i growup .that or a large object getting in my way
  6. http://www.mx6.com/forums/2g-mx6-forced-in...-turbo-mod.html a pair of vice grips might have worked better mike,hows the 'project' coming along?
  7. dont really need to travel to the other side of the world. i just strap my self and some other 'willing' passenger in and do my own nurimberg ring.avoiding cows and tractors does help
  8. would you guys reckon any of these tyres are up to the challenge to keep my car on the road? really need to do something.with the rain we just had,almost lost it a few times.not to mention the few times i did. pants are at dry cleaners. next on the to do list; weaker wastegate spring cheers marty
  9. if you cant locate the leak,remove thermostate from the housing.that way it wont get hot and it keeps the water pressure down.cheap,short term fix
  10. gates a 38mm. the guru in the states reckon's that good enough flow up to 400hp. he informed me that going too large will release too much gass, causing more boost spikes and uneven boost curve.
  11. ecu install was done at 'speed source' up in warkworth. EMS system
  12. yeah that 55 corner came up rather kwik.your pants not smelly are they??
  13. Just got the car back from tuners. rough tune stage. got a number of kinks to iron out before fine tuneing. great to drive,almost violent. had bought a wastegate with a 0.5 bar spring.turns out its a 15 pound sucker. runs super rich and managed to 254 kw at the wheel on the dyno. i dnt know how its supposed to feel like on the road,but after sum 'testing' tonight is it brutal from 3500 all the way to 6.pinged occationally,and had a few great backfires.lovely
  14. yum. think the next project is not far away might buy shares in shell/mobil
  15. Plumbing??? what plumbing? cant be easier. mount the 25mm thick radiator infront of the aircon.possibly without removing the fan.you are running a e34? plant the water/air unit anywhere there is space and buy sum cheap garden hose.and a small pump. or cut a 3" or so hole though everything and paying large $$ for silican elbos and bends etc. but each to there own
  16. Also, the water to air intercooler i'm selling has less the 1 psi drop. worth thinking about.
  17. http://not2fast.com/turbo/compression/compression.shtml most helpfull when dreaming up hp numbers. the turbo maps are a little out dated but you get the idea of whats going to work. do your home work to find out your desired ve numbers etc to be 95% most accuarate biggest Q is 'can my motor handle it'????? well it still is for me anyway
  18. i'll set you up if your keen. give me a call and we'll talk cheers marty 021 438 735
  19. dont know what you need to run a low boost supercharger set up. but as for the oil filter housing; get or check up on the 750 setup.it is a remote.they have the oil filter bolted up against the left gaurd,rather tidy
  20. thankfully it stayed dry long enough for Brendan and I to finish stripping down on Sat. loaded onto trailer today. Guy's got plans to fit V12 into a lambo replica of some sort. this motor sounded fantastic at around 6G as he was 'making shore it didnt smoke' test forkhoist makes life sooo much easier trailing arms and self-leveling bits will sell i'm shore bolt cutters;the answer when your tired of unscrewing 20yr old bits see ya,thanks for your $$
  21. Steam??? what steam?, unless your refering to the water injection, if you want to get techical

    all a good sale needs is someone with the money and a desire to have what you have to sell. sometimes you need to get the kids into the candy shop before they start buying.
