Serran

and AUD? :)

haha r u making fun of the mpx320???

maybe or maybe not.

but they sell products for motor vehicles.. namely, ABE 1kg and 2kg extinguishers

what concerned me was they didnt know maintenance requirements for them. to be able to manufacture and sell these things you need to pass certain standards saftey codes

made quick calls to sydneyfire protection, bettafire, and deanmac about an ABE 1kg unit. these companies sell fire protection type services and products.

none of them could complete all my q's:

1) dimensions w/ bracket

2) how is this mounted to the interior of the car

3) maintanence of the extinguisher for compliance

only answer i can get is that the 1kg unit is 335mm long. thats it!

can anyone shed some light w/ some info?

i like the sounds of motorola mpx320 B)

hi keith..

i dunno... uk based guys says no.. matt and his guys say yes.. but matt is re-confirming that now...

thanks

it's not illegal to use a racing harness for street use in nz?

the giant ball wins hands down for me B)

good idea..

read this

hahaha what?? lol :P

hey is that wedding still on for later this year???

yep yep of course. thanks!

hey there squid.. that brings up a good point.

when you tune on the dyno or on the road.. do you have trc off?

anyone know how this affects if you tune with trc off and drive trc on, and vice versa?

hahaha yeh

no doubt speed will be doing shoots of more of our cars :gav: in the near future

hahah just saw a quick preview of thunderbirds..

great to point that out keith. yes so for normal street in sydney roads, the lower than normal spring rates given by tein (for example), it is best to go for a much lower spring rate.

however, reading that article, there is uneven weigh distribution between the front and back compared to the rs200 with the is300's; and is200's would be the same.

now tein has spring rates for their coils for the is300, and i assume (without emailing tein) have adjusted their spring rates according to the rs200 because of the uneven weight distribution.

so having said that 5kgf/mm front and rear may not be completely optimal (as the fronts need to have a higher spring rate). the mech who quoted 5 all round has vast experience in rs200's so would be familiar with the rs200s even weight distribution. and it makes sense now why he quoted 5 all around.

ill let him know the is200's weight distrubtion (after some research) and he should be able to recommend a higher spring rate for the fronts for the is200.

thanks for that keith!

yes i have.. now no more kills, or ill tell everyone where u are really from

lol

hmmm $1750 to hire out wakefield for a day for ourselves... 10 ppl is $175.. its not cheap but by no means unreachable.

:D

next after the cruise.. will be a track day! everyone WILL have FUN!

i cant afford to speed for the next 2 yrs.. so i will be a good boy.

so its no choice, but track for me!

hahah cool... ive got first dibs!

lets not make this a kill thread please! <_<

stocks will be allowed and are more than welcome.. don't worry. as what matt explained.. it is a club cruise shoot.

as for numbers, don't be too worried.. we will get more than enough by the time the cruise shoot time/date has been allocated by the photographers for speed ;)

quote unquote from the staff writers at speed..

They don't all have to be blown or really crazy, just nicely presented (washed, cleaned, etc). If we can get a pack of more than 10 cars, that'd be beaut, 15+ would be really sweet, any more a bonus.
