  1. Actually that is a common misconception, straight-cut gears aren't stronger than helical-cut. Helical gears are generally stronger, due to more surface area being in contact on the mated gear faces. They do have a lower efficiency though, hence why they are popular in motorsport, but even then they aren't everywhere you'd think they'd be.

    Was fully going to post that up helical gears = more teeth contact area. Only reason some straight cut sets are tougher is because they have larger gear sets + made of better material

  2. discuss here -> http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9737

    Finally got a camera so posting up one of my projects its not the most exciting but its kind of fun to drive. Its pies old sx60 the guy I bought it off matty b'd it with spray cans so im not to happy about that, its bogan as at the moment and lacking chrome. Its 1s-u powered, W55, and live f series rear. Wheels are 14*7 rear and 14*6.5 volkmesh's polished up with new stainless fastners

    the mighty 1s-u goes ok but I need to change it out, I already have a 1jz project and am not the biggest fan of m and g sixes so a vvti 3sge would be ideal. But leaning to a 4 or 5sfe for an easy swap for daily duties. Got a lsd and am buying a better set of rubber for track day so should be fun, whale racing on!

    This is the 1g out of the chaser parts car I grabbed off ken. He was an animal to it and threw a rod out the block. Has a mint blue interior and all the chrome I need so stoked about the score cheers ken!

  3. 110 horse power... man, thats shit............

    My 3kb makes 89 and thats only a 1200.......

    haha the 1s-u has 100hp, 18rg for me would only be an option if i had a older toyota with a lesser R series engine in place. Other wise for the fucking around and the gains go 1jz six throttles as above

  4. Perhaps we should have another hamilton OS meet (ie not OTP) some time soon. I'm sure everyones as keen as I am to see this beast, plus escortas starly and a couple others that should be getting sorted soon enough.

    going for a wof in the sx60 next week hopefully so yea boe couple of weeks its on

  5. believe i used 320 to take it back to bare metal

    jesus thats intense 320 to go back to metal would take forever. Grinder with a sanding disk or wire wheel which ever you prefer. Then sand or paint strip the cunty bits. different story if your going for a scuff up and paint over top

  6. borrowed a laptop for a few days so I could check out the pics and they rule. dam you for bringing that absenthe around when im already chopped as and crusing along nicely! only time in years Ive made a complete mess of myself is at the last 2 OS otp's.

    I remember getting told that flippy had locked himself in the toilet spewing so I kicked the lock down and he was asleep doing number 2's shit it was rank, and my locks fucked

    The mess was sweet still havnt cleaned it up fully, shes sweet for another otp later on in the year. So wheres the next one?

  7. pretty sure she has twin rounds, it has a camper conversion on it but still fucking rules. Yea Y series are everywhere got a few runners if you need one

    haha you mean brin has ;)
