    Anyone write off their Viper for business?

    Why should it be different than any other company car? What sort of transport the company provides for its employees to drive, is the company's business? I know plenty of guys who work for large companies that get company Mercedes, BMWs etc.. if the company values you, it doesn't make you drive...

    Best Oil and Filter?

    From my research, I second what Tom said. From what I hear, Rotella T Synthetic is at Walmart over there, for $13 a gallon. That's what I'd use, assuming it is the right weight for your engines. I've heard the Mobil 1 synthetic media filters are top notch. In paper, I believe the Purolator Pure...

    HELP needed - getting a 'Statement of Compliance' for New Zealand

    Re: HELP needed - getting a \'Statement of Compliance\' for New Zealand I don't know about NZ, but over here in Aus, our cars only have to be externally steam cleaned on entry, if judged to be dirty by Quarantine. This only takes about an hour. The fumigation is only necessary if the car is...

    The bastard didn't have insurance

    Re: The bastard didn\'t have insurance Yep, if it is in his parents' name, it's their liability. Weird huh? Regardless, you provided the at-fault party to your insurer, why are they not telling you to go get it fixed and send the bill? That's what I've always encountered... "get it fixed, send...

    who is from Australia around the Brisbane, Queensland area. Need some help

    I'm down in Melbourne. Shipping from him to me probably wouldn't be much, if it is light, and our dollar is worth less than yours. Anything I can do to help, shoot. Shipping cost alone is fine :) If it's a big heavy item, I should be able to arrange someone up north to help you out. But...

    2 kills tonight

    I've seen plenty of GSXR 1000s in the high 9s and low 10s. Most every busa at the track with a *decent* rider is running high 9s. Pros get them a LOT faster than that. Pros get stockish 600s in the high 9s.. by stockish I mean simple mods.. pipe, map, suspension.

    Guess what! I bought a MIG Welder! Watch out!

    85 amps ain't a lot.. I got a 200 and on occasion welding really thick steel plate to pipe (we're talking 3/8" each), have had to turn it right up. You should be OK with mild steel up to about 1/8". Stainless does need the gas (sometimes even on the back side of the weld too), or you will watch...

    Group buy on HID 10000K lights Real HID from Germany. With PICS NOW!

    Re: Group buy on HID 10000K lights Real HID from Germany. Sorry ab, didn't mean to start an argument with you.. just I'm an electronic engineer and I've come across HIDs a lot in the past. The K number actually isn't brightness.. it's temperature, which is a really weird thing to explain, and...

    Group buy on HID 10000K lights Real HID from Germany. With PICS NOW!

    Re: Group buy on HID 10000K lights Real HID from Germany. Yeah 10000 is going to be really purplish (which may look cool but isn't as easy to see stuff, and probably won't make much more light than halogen), and it won't be made by either of the 2 big German companies - Philips and...

    Supercharger

    Great, thanks.. I will go for the Super Quiet.. if the cops can hear it, and it sounds even kinda loudish, I'll be looking at non-stop EPA tickets and tests :( Such a shame.. nothing is better than watching someone start a car with a straight cut supercharger gearbox, or a toothed belt drive...

    Supercharger

    Mike, thanks.. I really do want to hear it, but over here the police are real tight on modified cars :( Putting this on a V8 Lexus. Idling at a stop light, how loud is it? Would a cop car sitting next to me hear it much, you think? If it's much louder than, say, an electric radiator fan, I'll...

    Anyone want to give me an estimate of the replacement cost?

    Talk to the insurance company and maybe they will let you take a lot of the undamaged mods off, rather than replace them... that is, if you want them..

    Mike, you know what model Vortech it was? I imagine one with a straight cut gear? What was loud about it, the whistle or a gear noise?

    Bogus gas prices

    Over here, 93 is $3.15 a gallon. It has always been the case that gas drops about 3-4 cents a gallon per day, then towards the end of the week, bounces straight back up to the high price - BAM 20 to 30 cents. If you screw up and miss the cheap day, it pisses you off. Apparently up in Sydney...

    DC Performance Project Car:

    You're not wrong... modern semiconductors make designing powerful CDI almost too easy. I made one a while back for a race bike of mine. Was good for approx 100,000 RPM on each channel, at least 16 sparks per ignition under 25,000. Couldn't run waste spark as it was a V2 with uneven cylinder...

    NEED INFO on CAR TRANSPORT KC/MO to NORCAL

    I'm also looking for transport from SC to CA. Anyone know someone cheap? Not for a Viper, so it doesn't have to be the red-carpet treatment. I'm looking to ship a couple cars from my relatives in SC, to a shipping co in LA, who will container them up and ship them to me, here in Australia..

    What would be the main difference with going with top fed injectors

    I assume you mean what are the advantages of replacing all 10, versus just adding a few at the TB? There are "top feed" and "side feed" injectors, which just refers to where on the injector body the fuel enters (ie where it sits in the rail). Without serious investigation into the best location...
