where to start
by weemo1rush, 26-09-2017, 02:05 PM
Well i know pretty much what i want, and how much i can spend.
I am selling my merc to part fund and coming up with the rest .
I have been looking at importing myself but have heard it can be more of a pain than you woulD first think.
ie the car being damaged and bits missing.
so i am searching the net for the right car i have tried places like jap performance parts in crawley , and the import center in dover.
i would like an R32 gtr with around 50-60k on the clock and 400bhp.
i will have around 5 to 6 grand to spend! anybody know what i should be looking for and where to look? any problems i should know about ?

Toilet Cleaning
by FirebirdPhil, 25-09-2017, 01:22 PM
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.:thumbup:

Heavy weight

The 36-year-old Russian is 90lb heavier than his opponent and stands nearly a foot taller. Both men have just one defeat in their careers.

What a difference in size and weight.:Bazza::Bazza:

If we can keep that forum tidy with only the active "Wanted" ads, it'll help maximise the chances of those members having their needs met !
Thanks all :thumbup:

One for the Gurus - DC Whine!
by toxo, 24-09-2017, 02:54 PM
The MR2 is a bit of a challenge when it comes to ICE as you're very limited on space. The boot is no good for anything, if you put amps or crossovers or any signal processors in there they have to get their signal past the engine which is a minefield of interference. I've got all my stuff in the front, on top of the spare wheel. This consists of a powercap (unnessecary I know but it looks cool!), some power distribution including digital voltmeter & ammeter, and 2 amps, a class A for the components and a class D monoblock for the subs. The components in the doors are Alpine DDDrive ones (old but good!) with seperate passive crossovers and the subs are a pair of Vibe 10" behind the seats in custom enclosures.
The problem I have is DC whine. There's some that's there all the time, and some that's rev-related. As far as I can tell it's only audible from the subs (which really shouldn't be able to reproduce it!) but I think that's probably because the capacitors in the crossovers for the components are smoothing it.
A problem in the MR2 is the power steering. Because it's at the other end of the car to the engine, it's driven with a massive great 12v motor instead of a belt driven pump. This generates loads of interference and I have tried my hardest to avoid it. None of my cables run within 8" of it and I have not run power and signal cables together. The constant whine gets louder the more you move the wheel, but the rev-related whine doesn't.
My power leads to the distribution block are all 4AWG with the grounding points freshly sanded upon installation. These are the same size as the main earth straps on the car.
I have noticed that the whine is a constant volume, so it must be introduced either at the amps or onto the signal cables that run to the speakers. However it's difficult to introduce interference into amplified cables, you normally pick it up at line level instead.
Confused! Suggestions?
