    Greetinga from Atlanta

    DIY-EFI!!! Wow that takes me back, I've got folders full of their fabrication and ECU guides! I loved their dig at one of the main problems of aftermarket ECu's at the time: "....having to send it back to Australia for repair"! I even made an EFI manifold for a 12a Rotary with their help...

    Have any current SL-C owners thought of...

    There are other items that fit this category, such as the M1911. A journalist queried a US Army Captain, after noticing the absence of his M9 sidearm, which he had replaced with a .45 "Why do you carry a Forty-Five"? she asked "Because they don't make a Forty-Six"! he replied.

    Have any current SL-C owners thought of...

    SL-C is a pretty specific tool. Like a 911. It doesn't require facelifts like mass production cars to remain 'fashionable', becuase its customer base doesn't care. What counts is that every time a new model is released, the improvement is so much more than cosmetic, just like the...

    What do you guys know about these fuel pumps?

    Owming a couple of 20yo Jap turbo racers (ricers?) Ive had a bit if experience with Bosch, Walbro Sard and Aeromotive pumps. The bosch pumps have been great, the 044 external and 040 internal ( I have the internal piggy backing straight into the rear of the 044 for 58 psi base pressure) havent...

    16 weeks to go...

    Hmmmmmm street tyre ay? Id just forget the whole 'street' tyre thing and drive around on semi slicks. I do in my other HP cars. Theres not really a street tyre around thats gonna hold down an LS9 in such a light car. I use cheapo falken RT615 semi comps for street stuff and second hand slicks...

    16 weeks to go...

    Well thank goodness Im not the only one who thinks the LS9 is the way to go. Ive been conving my build buddy that trying to put together a toyota UZ based engine is hard. Putting together a 5.7 UR Tundra engine is silly, and that we'll be waiting for months to get electrical and computational...

    Brembo brake upgrade - thoughts?

    Hehe, yeah I used to have Supra MkIV 4/2 setup. The Lexus LS400's are better actually. They are an all alloy caliper at the fron (315mm OE rotor) where as the Supra are a half Iron (324mm) and wiegh a lot more. I went with radial mount Wilwood billet SL6's up front (330mm) and 324mm 4 pisotn...

    Brembo brake upgrade - thoughts?

    The 6k upgrade will look nice! But the right brake pads and some RBF600 fluid for a track day outing will suffice if you dont intend on racing the car every month in a competitve series. Basically, as a street car, you'll probably never get to the point of driving it on the limit at the track...

    New guy, wants SLC.

    hehe....she scratches and crashes everything she drives. Hence the toyota bent. Im close to making crocodile skin/pattern look good in an automobile. Its taken about 30 revisions, but as soon as I have it right, I'll photochop it into an existing SL-C picture. For the love of remote...

    Interesting chassis comparison

    Well apparently Lamborghini have been building them like this for years. Mig welds, steel angle, RHS.........and Cable Ties! Sure, its rigid, and it works. But for the price? Not that I need another one, but its one more reason Im buying an SL-C. I personally wont stand under a...
