  1. The car is heavy and the track is small.

    I never expected it to become the fastest on the board, nowhere near enough long straights to unleash its full power which is the biggest advantage the car has and because of the weight difference, it just won't corner like the Zonda.

    Dont see the big deal..

  2. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/showthread.php?t=22007

    The prototypes he had all worked fine, but then it seems when the turbo's were mass produced the company decided to use inferior parts.

    The turbo's have been sent to a specialist for investigation and they have found the causes and will be rebuilt/balanced. I must say that he has handeled this situation very professionally and has done what a lot of traders probably would of not.

    I would of rather have bought a broken Speedvision turbo that a Kitaro one, thats for sure.

    Hope everyone gets there turbo's sorted soon.

  3. 3 quarts to fill up a stocker, so that, plus whatever your cooler holds, probably another quart.

    I wondered on this myself, as I have just bought the same kit second hand, so no instructions.

    It usually takes I think 3.5l to fill the engine..not sure how much extra is needed when the cooler kit is fitted.

    I take it all the oil goes back to the sump when turned off, so you can't fill, run, turn off, check level, fill and turn back on like when you fit an oil filter?

    Seen some coolers located real low down thou..

  4. Probably a discussion for a different thread but.. The stock ecu can 'learn' given enough time Harri. What makes you think the aftermarket ones aren't as smart?

    Hang on, depends on your terminology I guess. Learning/adjusting/adapting, what's the difference?

    Yeah, you knew what I meant Harry :)

    This was a killer thread:

    http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/showthread.ph...=JAM+BLITZ+SARD

    I gurantee you everyone would learn something new if they read everything on here about the JAM/SARD etc ECU's.

    I was a little less educated than I am now then <_<

  5. thats well unlucky you have to wait so long! good luck at getting done sooner mate.

    I've seen this before, but it was with a K26 setup.

    As the SARD/JAM etc ECU's are not mappable, it seems like the ECU's are piggy backed.

    They self learn to a certain degree, but cant cope with fueling for larger applications such as the K26 I dont think. So the car may of been running a larger setup at one point or the owner wanted a finer tune. So he should if just bought the F-Con in the first place :p

  6. I've played all the Metal Gear's since the first one on PS1 and even those on the Gameboy etc.

    The first one was brill. Had it in Japanese then when it was released in English, sat down for 10 hours straight and clocked it in one sitting. It had lots of cut scenes back then, but the story plays a big part in the game.

    I've completed everyone except for snake eater, but I got bored and did not think much of it.

    Playing MGS 4 now..thing I am on act 3 and im enjoying it, great game. Major cut scenes, but some are very action packed and good to watch. When actually playing, the game is still very good.

    Once I have finished it, I wll then go online a bit more.

    Really getting into the story at the moment...gone back to shadow moses, where the first MGS started on the PS1! You get to play a little PS1 emulator aswell LOL

    Oh and dont expect it to be ported to XBOX 360. It has been designed work exclusively with the PS3 system.

    And by the way, play a PS3 with HDMI input on a HD TV 1080p then you'll see.

    But great graphics a lone dont make a great game.

  7. Hmm..

    Do you know how much downforce that thing is going to provide on track? Sometimes too much downforce can have a negative affect to what your are trying to achieve, as it will alter the handling and traction characteristics or cause the front tyres to lift resulting in a loss of traction.

    Is it adjustable?

    Quick google to explain better:

    You have to be careful when exerting downforce on a car so as not to throw off its overall balance. For example, in a front-wheel-drive car, having some downforce on the rear wheels is necessary to stabilize the portion of the car that, for the most part, is just going along for the ride. But exert too much downforce on the rear wheels and you can unload the front wheels, which will result in a loss of traction that hurts acceleration and creates understeer.
