  1. "I have a stage 5 twin turbo with 242,000 miles that rides like a dream. It is a daily driver and very reliable." Stages LOL
  2. 1200-1500 for a high mileage used engine like that? That seems a little expensive. It depends on how long you want to have the car for and if you want to invest that much extra money into a fully built motor. And it also depends on how much power you want to make. The stock engine with correct tuning and an m56 (less boost spikes than auto) can hold from 300-350ish? wheel hp. If your actually making this power, it makes for a pretty Darn fast car for a daily driver.
  3. Its not the power curve that I care about, its the fact that the size of the housing when matched with a compressor wheel like that causes heat buildup and backpressure on the motor.
  4. No offense but it seems most of your mods are ignition mods, why are you spending so much time and money when the stock ignition is just fine to 300,400 hp?
  5. Stock Heatshield which sits over the turbo off any 850 Turbo, thanks!
  6. The super 60 is a nice compressor wheel but remember that you still have the td04 exhaust wheel which is causing alot of backpressure buildup and excess heat. Thats why Im not a fan of the Td04hl-19t, same thing, your having a large compressor wheel making the power, but you have the exhaust path confined by the small td04 exhaust wheel. So your going to need some careful tuning to ensure that you dont bend rods from excess heat and detonation, if you really want a nice upgrade, see if you can swap out the exhaust wheel/housing for something larger like a Td05
  7. Ha Dougs in the police car, nice symbolism! and beautiful pictures!
  8. Darn thats a shame, looks like a decent amount of work that you put into it, I know that the 350Z's have a rear strut bar, does the affect it has depend on the geometry of the car?
  9. I actually thought about making one, but I heard somewhere that It would have no effect, can anyone prove me wrong, because Id love to do it?
  10. Just wanted to let you know that he text for me on the opening page, and the picture page is very hard for me to read, the black dosent contrast well with the dark blue background.
  11. I find myself fortunate to be living in a country which abides to common law, unfortunately Iran abides to Islamic law code, and this story is one of the sad consequences of such a system.
  12. The only time your worth to me is "wow what a m o r o n" I cant believe people like you actually exist.
  13. I commend you for your actions, the one thing I regret about high school is not messing with the school administration and their stupid and idiotic rules enough, I realise now how pathetic and close minded they are, and they really can't do much to you, youll still get into college, I assure you, if you like constitutional stuff, try sitting down during the pledge of allegiance, then getting the ACLU involved if they make u stand or send u to the office, it will make for some good times.
  14. This just makes absolutely no sense, theres no logical argument with what you said so ill stop here. I love how you think Im referring to Christianity when I say the word religion.
  15. I completely agree with you, but you must remember that religion is not in any way logical, its about believing something that can't ever be proven to exist. and the easy way out because they choose to ignore the logical process of science. Everyone has their own choice about what to believe, but I will never believe in something which promotes ignorance.
  16. The first life on Earth appeared 2,400,000,000 years ago. Many variations of organisms were created, and those best suited for their environment were able to survive and thus reproduce. Remember that this didn't happen in one lineage, but rather billions, at this rate and in this amount of time, it is very possible. And this is exactly why religion is for the weak minded.
  17. This is a puzzling question, but keep in mind the periods of time we are dealing with. The first living organism appeared on earth 2,800,000,000 years ago. The earliest "human" existed 5 million years ago and the civilization with records is only a few thousand years old. The periods of time are just mind boggling, think of how long a year is then, then imagine a million of them, then 2,800 times that! Many changes have taken place from then until now, we are just limited in our scope of our lifetime and the liftime of our civilations history.
  18. I love how creationists regard evolution as random. Evolution and Natural selection are not a random process, they are based on which variation is best suited for the environment.
  19. Thats exaclty how I feel, what we may think is a supreme being may simply be something that exists in another dimension that the human brain cannot ever possibly comprehend, just like fish in their aqueous environment trying to understand terrestrial life with their miniscule brains.
  20. Va ton chier!!!, une pour les Quebecois!!!
  21. Can you give an estimated hp/torque rating or estimated 1/4 mile trap or E.T for these cars?
  22. It is not spam, he is a valued member and a good guy, it is in the for sale section and this is what he has for sale.
