Re: OS Giken Super Lock

I have not tested my car back to back with the OSG vs my old ZF, so I can't give a time improvement. I can say that turn-in is much better with the OSG, it also puts down power on corner exit much better. Another thing that I like better about the OSG is the single piece that holds the spidergear vs...

While my interior is getting a remodel, I might put the Braille battery inside the car. Probably where the passenger seat was. Can I just mount it to the floor? Do I need it in a inclose box? Here's the link to the battery. http://www.braillebattery.com/index.php/batteries/b3121/#" onclick=&qu...

Re: 2011 pax

I believe that Tom Berry recently fitted an OSGiken to the communal 325i, and everyone running it had smokin' fast times this weekend (but not only because of the diff!). Congrats Kurt, Theresa & Lisa! Correct. We had an uncharacteristc amount of oversteer coming out of slower corners, which I ...

All seasons of Top Gear UK is available as a stream on Netflix. I haven't watched Top Gear U.K. so I don't have a frame of reference but the Cobra Gunship, vs. Viper seems way to contrived.

Re: New motor for Roberts C-mod car.

I think this is the first one using the Yamaha components. The other V8's where based on the Hayabusa and made about 320HP from 2.6l. I think that's the one in the Radical.

I think this would be perfect for Puertas new car. Two Yamaha R1 motors combined to a V8, 2.0l 380HP @13000RPM N/A. Nice article about the build in Racecar engineering. Cost ~$40K :cry:

Re: "inexpensive" autobody / paint shop

Took the BMW here last year http://orangenorthbatavia.maaco.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; paid less than $900.00 IIRC. Done in a few days, good people too.
I paid a little extra for colorchange/doorjambs too.
