I think you can pick up a 42" Lg for less than $3K

No problem, I'll bring a clipboard and a pen that actually writes this time around :P Eddy - You're so conscious about your looks man

There are AUDM Sprinters around so perhaps hunt around in wreckers to see if you can find the equivalent Aus-Spec unit.

You all now know the facts but everyone to their own. BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION. $120.00 for a piece of mild steel pipe is a bit rich considering it's press bent. IMO, you should only be looking at NO MORE than $75 installed, it's just a piece of pipe with bends in it for chrissake!

Yes that would be an excellent spot for the photo shoot, never any traffic there on a Sunday so no reason why we can't block up the whole car park/road. :)

I'll be helping as usual ;) . Already got a spreadsheet made up for recording the numbers :D, I might go for a drive this weekend and see if there's any other good spots nearby to do the photoshoot when we're done on the Dyno. 30+ cars, too cool! B)

Otaku.... what's your say on all this?

Kev, Are you able to also e-mail Simon in regards to the order of proceedings as per my post above ? So that we can advise RWD owners what time to be there.

But it sounds so cool when your eardrums bleed :P

I think to be fair RWD cars should go on first. There are 6 RWD cars on the list (Ilivfor6, TAKA, carra, MissyK + friend & Andy) so it's not fair for 6 to wait for all 30 cars to go through. So to ensure they go first, they need to be there READY TO START at 9.00am (Remember you need to sign off paperwork and pay before you start so it doesn't hurt to get there a little earlier. On average it takes about 10-15 min per car so by about 10.30 FWD cars should be ready to go. Also as before, it runs much more smoothly if the cars line up from around the drive that comes in from the rear (You'll see what I mean when you get there). This is only my suggestion, but it's at the discretion of NT performance, so perhaps negatron could please check with them to see if this way of running it suits them.

Perhaps when it comes to Toyota's, but I don't think that's true overall, Honda makes the 2.0 screamer in the S2000 and it's considered to be a 'green' engine that's emission compliant.

Only in North America

Damn that bites! How low can they be, did they also bend the side-step or was that already like that? I would look in the trading-post, e-bay etc and see if these people are dumb enough to sell them.

The only stock left in Aus will be Silver.

;) Nothing's cheap when it's done properly is it.

I like the sound of option 3. Using steam pipe to put these together ?

Very nice. It's great to see there's still quite a number of un-modified DC2R's around

What set up did you settle for with the exhaust manifold to the turbo? Log type set up ? Very curious to see the end outcome of this project. :D

So were those powder coated or simply baked enamel which would be about $50 per wheel?

It will definetely be FWD. Anything else would be an extensive/expensive redevelopment of the platform. After seeing the car in person, it looks good, but still a bit too slab sided for my liking, I hope the soon to be released new Camry is a little better.

:D Yes that was me on my way home.

So given the generally harsher ride with coilovers. Would users recommend a 16" or 17" wheel/tyre package to suit?

Why am I not surprised omn1potent :D

And where do you suppose the Hydrogen will come from when the Oil runs out, with current hydrogen production coming as a waste product in oil refining? Cracking water I here you ask? Where are you going to get the energy for the electro-chemical cells to do that on a mass scale? Sure the zero emissions are great, but the real goal is high storage batteries with higher output at a lower mass then is currently available... how this will happen I don't know... but it's the only real 'clean' direction without resorting to backward technology like solar and wind. So then are Hybrid Electric Hydrogen fuel cell cars the future ?
