yup. assuming all things being equal (driver skill) it means the lower powered one had better traction. also, a heavier car would need more hp/tq to get it down the 1/4 in the same time as a lighter, less powerful car. well said and ofcourse, gearing plays an important part too. It doesn not necess...

remember too much free flow causes a loss of torque. There must be a restriction as we cannot have it fully free flow. Cat-back with 2" exhaust is fine like what Jimbo say, don't over do it.

i had a car where the tint when i sold it was more than 10 yrs old and neva faded. Nowadays tint givin more trouble than the tint of previous years i find.

^^NSX and Supra I believe has a slightly higher top speed than the RX-7 and Skyline. All 4 are similar no doubt but that 0-60 time still goes to the RX-7. Quarter mile and track handling would be competitive between NSX, RX-7 and Supra too. I want all 4 of em :mrgreen: Imagine what the next Supra, S...

Remember although it's a 2.6, it not no Mazda6 engine! true the M6 engine is the MZR series with DOHC, 16 valves and sequential valve timing (SV-T). The 2.6 pickup version is adequately powerful for lighter duties than the turbo model. Sure has more useful power than a brand new 1.6L wagon though.

Now fellas.......I don't know about dem modified cars but I can tell you one thing, a stock RX-7 Spirit R Type A most likely will squash a Skyline (R34) GT-R on a track....Laguna Seca is a good place to start. Now both cars terribly fast but the RX-7 has a slightly faster pulloff (0-60 in 4.5s) and ...

bleedingfreak, we actually had a TBE non-turbo model for a short duration and it was exceptional back in those days. It had power-everything including power mirors too. It really performed and with just over 200,000kms the thing still goes and goes. No major problems but it doesn't make it too speci...

^ i beg to differ, all 4 of these pickup trucks have roughly the same size of tray and off road capabilities due to part-time four wheel drive etc. In this case now, we try to decipher why to buy one over the other seeing that prices are already up there! So what do we look for? Buy a Mitsubishi L20...

dragzster

gizmo, sorry they pallie but you have been highly misinformed. the latest L200 has a 2.5 Turbo Diesel producing 240Nm of torque at 2000rpm and the Mazda produces 280Nm of torque at the same 2000rpm (not bad for a small 2.5). The Ford Ranger is also similar to the Mazda as they are the same pickup tr...

yuh ever see de Kia Sorento drivin around wid de X5 style grille?

yeah saw quite a few of them, is that a factory option, a southern sales conversion or just plain stupidity? its ironic that many sorrentos in trinidad have d 'bmw makeover kit' on them. Anybody wit answers?

dragzster

Its a Japanese car for sure. Its not a Mazda, Honda or Mitsubishi or even a Suzuki Baleno. Its either a Nissan or a Toyota. A Nissan Pulsar N15 wagon? or a Toyota Caldina? Its got to be around 5 years old thereabouts. Show us the seats and the instrumentation cluster and I'll tell you exactly what t...

i am sure the driver left without a scratch. amazing to see the curtain airbags deploy when it was a frontal impact. i'll give safety to BMW

it is sheit. it is now officially the most ugly suv in our market. second to last place will go to the hyundai tuscon, hyundai santa fe and the kia sportage. other uglies will be the outlander, freelander, patrol and xl-7. The crv, grand vitara, tribute, xtrail, forester, sorrento, rav4, discovery, ...

dragzster

u ppl need to get your car bashing priorities right. Its an SUV dammit, they all have the same high rise wagon look and this is the new generation of "sweeping front" SUVs a mould many others would soon take. The Mazda looks much better IMO. The Murano while the front takes some getting used to, the...

yes there are quite a number of 7-series here as well, see them often but i never saw a 760Li V12 version, I saw a couple of the previous 750iL V12s on the road. Other than that, it ugly both in the inside and on the outside. The MB S-Class and Audi A8 are better looking.

Also, what you mean by upgrading Disc Pads? What Disc Pads are you using now? I use the Daishin on my Lancer and I startin to think Daishit you are correct when you say Daishit. Upgrade to better performing pads rather than the stock oem pads. Get EBC, they produce more consistent fade resistant st...

Several times a month there is always a discussion about which oil to use either in work, class or at home etc. We guys always seem to have an answer but I hope this article clears up some questions. It was recommended to me and now I am posting it here. Be informed. 8) -----------------------------...

O2 sensor checks amount of oxygen in exhaust.

AF sensor checks volume of air coming into the engine.

thanks man

^^^the local SR20DEs that came from N&M has 128HP, JDM is 140 like what gizmo say. Torque difference between local and JDM is non-significant.

cradle bushings also just tighten ur suspension better yet check the tyre pressure over inflated tryes cause rattles in cars can a suspension get slack just like that? seeing that i commute mostly in the maraval-pos area? also, how can a cradle bushin squeak just like that? I mean its not like the ...

^^^true, the rotary seals of yesteryears are not like the newer ones these days. The new ones are made to take the wear and tear and last much longer. Gas consumption I agree is a lot and rivals that of many high cc V6 engines so I wouldn't debate that and ofcourse the rotary after a couple thousand...

whats the difference between an Oxygen Sensor and an Air Flow Sensor?

I never sprayed shock oil on my shocks since someone told me that shock oil can damage rubbers :shock: can anyone else confirm this? Could be swaybar links/bushings,. just squeakes or clunks too? just sqeakes where would you all recommend for me to go check these things out? seems as though it coul...

dragzster

^^^neva thought about those shock mounts and spraying shock oil....i'm on it now, any other suggestions? Thanks.

Ok with all the noise over the swap can someone show me a reliably built, local daily driver 3rd gen ... Everyone has advised me that a rotary would NEVER last in my hands as a daily driver ... Should I think differently? My 3sgte does a Carenage - Champs Fleurs run daily and drives 7 days a week ....
