Many? Have you looked at the 1/4 mile times thread in the racing section? http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?41973-***SM-member-1-4-mi.-times-list*** I count *one*. Furthermore, drag racing isn't the best indicator anyway - unless you're building a drag car, of course. Real...

Looks like it's just me from the great white north. Which makes it kind of easy, I can meet you anywhere.

One more thing... a 500hp 7M is not the same as a 500hp 1J. Well, unless you're building a dyno queen, and all you care about is the peak, anyway. When you look at a dynograph, what really matters isn't the peak number, it's how much area there is under the line. A car with a wider, flatter...

Before you do anything else, jack up the car, slide under there, and make sure the bolts from the driveshaft to the rear diff are on tight. And present, for that matter.

No worries, I'm old and treacherous... err... I mean, wise... I'll send in the young, inexperienced guys first.

I'm just comparing the 7M / 2J to the 1J. The 7M / 2J uses more fuel, the 1J uses less. The biggest single factor being the extra half liter of displacement.

If Saturday morning, your power suddenly goes out, smoke grenades come flying in through your windows, and guys in SWAT gear rush in, just relax and enjoy the ride, it means we stopped to pick you up on the way down. :)

Off the top of my head... 7M pros: - You've already got one. - Parts are easy to get. - Long stroke makes for lots of torque - especially off boost. 7M cons: - Weak head gasket. Even when 'fixed' using the MHG route, lots of extra care must be taken, and the material thickness between...

It would probably help if you posted what tests you failed... idle? 30mph? Not sure what all they run you through there.

To be honest, I'm ok with the government funded programs dropping off and being replaced by private concerns. IMO the private guys will do a better job anyway. At least they don't spend weeks debating the virtues of a new style of shelf.

The TSRM is available for download every so often. It's reasonably large, so it never seems to stay up for long in one place.

Why not put a 2J head on it and have a monster that isn't limited to the mid range?

Tial with a single 67mm turbo.

This was a great thing... hell, still is, IMO. My only regret is that we seem to have moved away from space to concentrate on kicking the shit out of each other inside the atmosphere again. I fully expected to retire in orbit... now it looks like my grandkids won't even see that.

vBulletin is *the* standard in forum software... but it's not cheap. phpBB is one of the many free alternatives that tries to keep up. Personally, I'm using one called SMF - Simple Machines Forum. It's easy, has decent features, and doesn't get hammered by many security breaches.

No it's not. Gimme your boss' phone number, I'll do it. :D

I virtually always vote silver on these polls... however, I'm oddly attracted to the black this time around.

That's the bit. I'll take a blue one... I can paint it while I look for a shadow grey one. :) Figure out what shipping would be to Canada... just slow USPS would be awesome!

I think you've got me confused with some other clown. ;)

I'm still in. I'll meet where ever the rest decides is a good spot.
