seems like you hate them as you dont know them and one dude blows them up? I mean stock motors they probably have 200kms plus (not that that should worry them) many people have stock 4ages in race cars that see limiter action all the time (theres no power up by the limiter in a stock one anyway). Guys have had stock high km blue tops up to 180kw and drifted the thing for months so dont see how he destroys them does he put oil in them
-
cruise is nothing set in stone, just an idea if out of towners are here
-
well got let down on the 1gge so back on the look out for one. Was out at kihi kihi wreckers the other day and they had just got a liteace that had some rather nice rims on it.
SSR star formulas they are 6.5 inch so no good for stretch but will tidy up nice for a daily maybe will tidy them up with my track rubber for nats.
also found another hardtop mark 2 out there was so stoked so spent the afternoon taxing bits off it
Thats just a few of the bits, got one of those auto night time adjusting rear view mirrors for extra bling. Still wondering if I can get it resprayed by nats or just touch up the haggard matty B. more to come in the next few weeks
-
I can't make it this weekend boes.
Promised someone I'd spend the weekend with her, romantic get-away stz.
Have fun.
Stink! just let her down boe she'll get used to it eventually

^ had a few drunk yarns to mates about how its dyno proven the longer rod gives a increase across the rev range. Most instances I've seen in magazines etc have been v8's with two valve heads as the longer rod sucks harder (gets more flow through the 2 valve head) and have a smaller bore centerline angle (less frictional losses) they make more power. But I've seen some articles on 4 valve heads that have increases with a shorter rod. As the rod acts on the crankshaft most torque is applied when its at right angles to the crankshaft, the short rod achieves this faster so from a torque perspective is the best choice. But so many other complex factors come into it and my head hurts
