I've decided I want to have sex with Bon Jovi.

The sixteen year old I know in the UK and talk to also
wants it too.

Hey, the internet is great.

Bigot - maybe they just eat in their sleep and have a tennis ball sewn
into the back of their pjs (or silk nightie) to prevent sleeping on
their back and snoring.

Any here you are making it all sexual.

If you really want ugly, I refer you to the Jeep wanna-be Hummer AKA

Might not be too front heavy with a Lexus engine?

Since my last topic post and some people started giving birth I put
something on a lighter note.

Note

no criticism on my part either. :-p

Ford US chiefs confirm development program for future rear-wheel drive
sedans

By DAVID HASSALL 10 January 2008

FORD executives in Detroit have confirmed that the company is developing
a new rear-wheel drive large car platform in Australia for worldwide
application.

The rumoured global RWD development program involving Broadmeadows has
not previously been acknowledged officially, but new company CEO Alan
Mulally and other top executives broke their silence on Tuesday in a pre-
Detroit show media briefing.

They revealed that Ford is definitely developing new rear-drive large
cars for the Ford and Lincoln brands.

  M iEV At last a decent vehicle from Mitsubishi ! & an Electric one at that.         


Author: ausmartin
Date: Jan 11, 2008 18:32

Ready for Japan 2009, Well Finally an Electica car they could sell in
Australia as a second car.

Let do a vote.
1. Close production of the 380
2. Build the Electic i instead.

Yes/No

I'll start - Yes to both, Mitsubishi Australia would then have a great
future as every urban family could do with one of these !

- The fully electric i.

"Where the "i" normally would have a 660cc turbocharged gasoline
engine and fuel tank, the MiEV instead sports a 47 kw permanent magnet
synchronous electric motor mounted in the rear, above which is
positioned the controller.
Buried neatly into the belly pan of the vehicle is a lithium-ion
battery pack consisting of 22 large format modules developed by GS
Yuasa Corporation in Japan.

  Engine rattle at start up.         


Author: RichSCE
Date: Jan 11, 2008 18:31

This is a small block 350 ( vortec 5.7) Chevy, new rebuilt from Rhino
Engines. At start up I have occasional top end noise and more often
knock. I have changed the oil and the filter with the proper grades.
My oil gage shows zero pressure for 3 to 4 seconds from start up,
accompanied by the noises.

My thoughts are: 1. The oil pump was not lubricated at installation,
and is damaged. 2. The pressure relief spring is stuck open,
allowing top end oil to " run back" to the pan.

I'm thinking or replacing the pump with a high volume Milodon or
Melling, but I'm hoping that there are some folks out there smarter
than me and have easer ideas.

  Buying a R34 GTR wreck: average value =?         


Author: Jeßus
Date: Jan 11, 2008 18:18

This might be an unanswerable question, possibly a dumb one even... :)

Basically I am wondering what sort of price a written off R34 GTR - with
engine/drive line intact - would typically fetch? Maybe one of you guys
have some experience, maybe not...

I'm in the market for either an R32 GTR

OR

An R34 *4 door* (probably a GT-T)- the idea being with the latter model
to swap the R34 GTR goodies in at some stage.

Frankly, I'm torn between these 2 models - both obviously have distinct
advantages/disadvantages over each other.

In the end I think it'll boil down to which one I come across first at
the right price and condition...

In the event I go with the R34, it'd be handy to know what sort of costs
would be involved in upgrading it to GTR spec, so to speak. Any advice
on pitfalls to look out for would also be most appreciated, as would any
recommendations (shops, mechanics, etc.). My nearest capital city is
Sydney - for now anyway!

Cheers
