Great place to warp a head, or blow a gasket.

No arguments there. (Well, except for one, more on that later.) He's going to have to make some compromises then. If its AWD, it's not going to be a 2-door. First car that comes to mind (Jap+4cyl+AWD+auto), both in 4 and 5 door guise is the Subaru Liberty GX/LX - both of which are available...

Damn it man. Yes, I have pulled apart engines - though I hardly find that a prerequisite to knowing how many cylinders the freaking thing has. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline You can print that out and stick it on your wall. EDIT: Before you call people dumbasses and...

Is that the one with the scissor doors? Haven't heard good things about it. Stay away from Paseo, too. They seem to be far less reliable than your regular Corolla. Now it seems to me like you don't really know what you want. How about you answer some of the following questions, to make it...

Don't bother with the official sites. You have three main options, or so I have found. - Redbook.com.au - offers lots of info on standard equipment, and optional features, but often deficient on specific engine information, and other technical data. -...

Unfortunately, nobody here will go out jeep hunting. I'd suggest www.carsales.com.au www.carpoint.ninemsn.com.au www.autotrader.com.au www.drive.com.au http://carsguide.news.com.au I would love to deter you from getting a jeep. Unless you are an avid offroader, a jeep is pointless in...

Thanks, WoW :). The point remains, anyway.

Click here Granted, they arent R32/3/4 - but they are 4cyls.

I thought I'd interject before this got ugly again. Will is correct in this instance. Well the differences there are negligible. The weight difference is around 30kg (if that). And acceleration is the same. Now whether these 30kgs have a significant weight on Vmax can only be discussed on a...

Heaps of people thought the same about the E46. Look at it now - a classy car. Nevertheless, the 7 series never grew on me.

Lets just hope they don't get Dame Edna to promote it. I think that seriously ruined the chances of the Avalon.

This is from memory, but I think an E36 M3 does 13.1@158kph. 180kph would be blistering - though I imagine some can do it.

Any ECU reprogramming focuses on mainly two things - ignition maps, and fuel maps. Looking at it in the most basic fashion, ignition timing is advanced, in keeping with the constant use of 98 octane, to prevent detonation. That's all you can do through the ECU. Cars that are already made to run...

30% sounds very far-fetched.

Geez, you guys have lots of restrictions, don't you? I thought it was just V8s and forced induction. The E34 M5 is a six-cylidner.

Whoa.... A Ford GT? You serious? EDIT: Wait a sec. You meant a Falcon, right? Not this -

For 30k, one can get themselves an E34 BMW M5. Reliability issues and high maintenance costs, are a given. Naturally.

'The Guys [Possibly Gay]' I guess we'll never know.

That's the trade off. So does it have drums at the rear? How many pots do the front calipers have?

If you spend around 5-6 hours a day (a weekend, or something), you should get both skills down pat in two days (three, tops). From then on, it's no biggie.
