  1. they are cast yet are claimed to be light - to get true strength out of a casting, it needs to be relatively hefty as the molecular structure of a cast metal item isn't as strong per specific density of the metal. Forging on the other hand uses a lot less material yet creating a much stronger item... So how can Rota make such "light" wheels yet still have them cast? Simple - crap castings. The Philippines aren't exactly reknowned for their metalworking expertise...Plus, you must think to yourself, if Rotas are getting a reputation, and if people are doing the themed pictures, then it must be
  2. it's what his Phone decided to call me
  3. just typed in Rota Wheels into google chap! Most of them come from other forums
  4. a car doesn't lose a set amount of power per drivetrain type, it's a percentage taking into account all the friction sources in the drivetrain Which is why these sort of places should be taken as said above, with a pinch of salt
  5. oh....oh dear god, they're made in the Philippines: Clicky It's no wonder then, that as secksjay posted not long ago, this is what they are known for:
  6. haha - well as I said, watch the interests Well there's quite a few meets down err...The pointy bit of England (I'm foreign, it's my excuse) around Cornwall and so on...I think! As for buying guides, there's a lot of traders on here that can get you anything you could possibly need - new parts, used parts from Japan (the likes of StarletRick, Ecksjay, Nightspirit, Killamats etc...), food, hugs, illegal fighting dogs, etc... Otherwise, do a search as I'm sure there's a thread stickied with the common parts sites (like RHDjapan, takakaira, greenline etc...)
  7. do 27th, it's effort for me to keep driving down....why not a meet after the Trackday too, if it happens? Or a meal, pub, something...
  8. howdy n00b, well dropping a little information about yourself won't be too bad, would show what kinda person we're dealing with and how harsh the initiation procedure needs to be....just messing Also, if you're a girl, just watch for all the interests from the guys on here and how "unboring" you'll become! We're not a depraved bunch....Anyway, welcome!
  9. perhaps he was sent the floorbrace for a wrong model if everyone's getting the same issue?
  10. well, they were a single entity until Tony Blaire had him surgically extricated from his ass...
  11. The day such laws come into action is the day I bid this country Toodles
  12. + none....maybe the Kudos of having a 6 speed + if you use one out of an LSD Equipped Levin, it'll have a Helical LSD, ftw - it's got shorter ratios, you'll need to change gear more - it's got a shorter top-end, decreasing top-speed - economic cruising ability is just as bad if not worse than the Starlets (i.e. revs at 70mph) - known to have the bearings wear out quick, but that could just be netspert rumours - could be weaker than the equivalent Starlet gearboxes
  13. No Leaf Clover!?!? Bah!!! That is like my favourite song EVER by Metallica!!! I have failed you as a fellow 'tallica fan, please forgive me And yeah, I misread it chap....strange the holes are out of whack! Is the bar actually fouling if you try push back any further? Mine was fine, I just had the aforementioned problem of needing longer bolts
  14. I prefer 4 spokes....make a car look less of a toy. I have a fascination for the Advan 3-spokes (damn you MJ), but I'd never ever have them
  15. I did tell Toby that when I originally bought the Floorbrace, I needed longer Bolts made up....unfortunately I went straight through Slow_GT (who did the original Group Buy a couple of years back) and charged me an insubordinate amount of money....for a couple of bolts!! And Phil....oh Phil!! Sorry to disappoint you....I don't know what it is!!! It looks like something that must be very recent though, as it looks nothing like their previous Artwork...so I'm presuming it's from the new album? Definitely not from their "Pre-Black Album" days, or post.... The one on the left is obviously "Some K
  16. Fast & Furious innit Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Don't know, can't say I've seen many, I really need to watch Bullit, Le Mans and all the other Classics before making a decision....THOSE are car films
  17. it drinks less than the 5efhe or even 5efe ever did...seriously...by like 100mi to a tank
  18. 4efe and 5efe are 45mm on the Intake Manifold side, 5efhe and 4efte (as well as 7afe etc...) are 50mm
  19. And I know I know I know I know I know I want you... Ahem, yes, anyway...
