I think the new Hilux has something similar too, bonnet scoop on non turbo models... looks tough though

you forgot to mention zero global space for attatchments

To put this one simply guys, if you extrapilate the power / torque (torque is simply an integration of the power) curves from the 2 cams and you will see the intersecting point is the magic 6200 RPM figure. Toyota did not just guess this figure, there is real science behind it... Lotus have adjusted the cut in point to 6000 for the Exige in 1st and 2nd gear but this is still within the tollorences if the 2 cams... if you extend the lift point either way you will create a hole in the torque curve.. I hope Craig won't mind me discussing this but I chatted to him a while back about this issue and my POV was that the best solution was to engineer a 'progressive lobe' cam which gradually shifted from a low RPM setting to a high RPM setting, rather then being on 2 seperate lobes. This would produce a smooth transition everytime, as you don't swap cams, and could also be extended to a much higher RPM by continuing the cams size progression (and stiffening the valves and springs, refined pistons and rings, etc, etc)... I think a similar method is used in F1 engines but I could be wrong. The down side is that these need to be precission engineered by hand making them extremely expensive, and the research that needs to go into it, well you may as well design a whole new engine around the cams as well..

He may be talking about the adds at the top of the page too... in which care, these are generated by the google add server automatically to coincide with the info in the topic, ie if a topic is say, off the top of my hear Stivo vs WRX as a recent example if will take WRX out as a common 'word thread' used and generate the add... Hope this helps... this is beyond our control, if we could make it make just Corolla adds I'm sure we would :P :D

I'm now up to 7th so closing in on you... Cam... I'm sure they'll keep it until the new Maseratti one arrives for the new pope... For those that don't know the pope had an audience with the Ferrari ppl (inc. Mr Schumacher and Mr Barrichello and apparrently rated by Rubinyo as the greatest moment of his life) earlier in the year, in order to announce that Maseratti (part of the HUGE Fiat organisation along with Ferarri) will build a 'Special' pope mobile... perhaps they had forsight though and deigned a hearce... :P or is that poorer taste than Cameron...

or conversely, save yourself the effort and borrow Batseys car :P

Don't forget the 102 RON fuel... I think consistent mid 14's are obtainable with the setup many are running now ie CAI / unichip / exhaust / clutch / lightened flywheel / stiffer suspension and a few ricey bits for good measure :P , plus the LSD... I think if we could get consistent take off, that is the key, and LSD is the most likely solution... though a S/C would also do it, with some worked internals too pistions / rings / valves and springs / port polish / inlet cam reconfigure, but they are more costly, and by then I'd think you'd be in the 13's consistently but sub 13, that would be tough... by this stage you are looking big bucks for not much gain...

PMSL.... You payed extra for the SILVER membership and now have no global space, where we plebs get unlimited... ??? and Steve, I'll be sure to join soon...

I believe Craig has now begun some true forum whoring.... I think I'll now stand asside and watch the master in awe.... :P

???????????

well this is the thing....because on one certain persons car I managed to get a 14.87 0-400M time with the apexi RSM, and this car has only CAI now a 1/4 mile is 421 M so you can take that to almost a 15.00 ~ 15.10 sec pass??????? ← would actually be a bit nearer 15... 1 mile = 1.609 km therefore 0.25 miles (1/4) = 402.25 m Conversion tables

redundancy = $$$$$ = spendage.... been there done that :P unless you were on a contract that passed, in which case, bugga...

agreed, I quite like it... but I know it doesn't appeal to all tastes, plus many don't know it exists. Their technical knowledge is far far greater than any print mag in OZ.

I'm doing my best but none of the top 5 want to play my game :P I know I haven't a chance in h&ll of beating him :P

no, I just want to stop Craig from bring 1st to 1000 posts... :P

Actually the more correst post would be 'what you would like' :P

Ah hem... 'Absolutely anything' :P still need more replys, Craig now only has just over 50 posts to go... time is running out to beat him :P

Unfortunately I think I have a too far to catch up so I'll add this one too to get the ball rolling :P

I've decided to post this for no reason in a bit for me and other that are so willing to attempt to beat Craig to being the 1st to 1000 posts :P

yeah, what's going on with this, any new info...

http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_2487/article.html I know this is mostly a boosters on-line mag (though well respected internationally, produced by a couple of Aussies) but this artice makes some good points that many of us I'm sure can relate to... Cheers Dylan

yeah, was reading that in the paper yesterday... and damn, I wanted to take it for a test run... :P

you're a bad bad man :P still a bit soon for this one, though I'd like to know what will happen with the new pope-mobile that Ferrari are making, will the new poniff (however it may be) use it? but, love the chrome.... :)

Hey, don't be dissin' the T-18... Maybe if Toyota is nice they will rebadge the Sirion GTli under the Toyota brand for release down here, but I strongly doupt it...

OK, my turn with some pickies people... just the RunX for now though, I'll get more shots of the other cars in my garage later...
