    Help Me Plan a GOOD GTE Rebuild on a Budget!

    I'd suggest getting a replacement set of pistons and rings in 20 thou oversize, would make for a much tighter engine. Pistons can be had on a budget - i got some ceramic topped cast slugs with rings and wrist pins/circlips from CNSmotors on eBay - only cost me $90 for the lot - which would...

    Any of you guys ever done a "Gumball" style rally?

    Mate of mine partook in a rally recently - the ramshackle rally. You had to get a car for £100 with tax and test (easy), insure it and then drive it to poland and back. I got him a diesel Austin Montego estate - 2.0 litre perkins diesel - virtually indestructible :D

    What games are you waiting for between now and Christmas?

    Only two i'm looking forward to: Half Life 2 - Episode 2 (already got a voucher for it as part of the Radeon 2900XT bundle), and Crysis. Derk - i dont fancy vista either, but it's supposed to look just as good under XP/DX9 :D

    found a 85 corolla

    Er - a V12 will be larger than an I6 you realise, both in terms of width (head clearance to strut towers) and the fact that the banks are staggered....a 1GZ would NOT fit in there. It's pointless to argue over, i know, but it was a dumb original suggestion that should have been labelled as such...

    Anyone here got Bioshock yet?

    I bought mine on Steam....thats how much it said it was...still translates to less than £32, which means its cheaper than the £49.99 they want for it in the shops :D

    Anyone here got Bioshock yet?

    i said you're nearing the halfway point - after the next stage, it gets much MUCH harder. You'll start spending 2+ hours per stage after the halfway mark - the levels get larger, the use of plasmids and gene tonics become more essential.... Trust me, it was worth the $64.95 i paid :)

    Anyone here got Bioshock yet?

    Aaah you're nearing the halfway point already.... Dont need to run in a window - just update your graphics card drivers (if ATI, use the 7.8's!!!).

    found a 85 corolla

    How fail of you. Anyway, i vote stick with the 4A-GE if you want to stay with 4-cyls, but consider using the bottom end off a 7A-FE (1.8 litres!) with the GE head... If you go 6-cyl, go for a 7M-GTE or 1G-GTE (more in keeping with the age of the car) If you want to go V8 - then the 1/2/3UZ...

    found a 85 corolla

    N00b you really should think before you speak....a v12 is far too large to squeeze in there - even an I6 is a tight fit. Plus, where are you going to find the 1GZ from the Toyota Century?? As for the 1G-GTE, its not a bad engine, its just that in the Supra, its underpowered. They've become...

    found a 85 corolla

    Wouldnt a 1G-GTE slot nicely into this? 2.0 litre twin turbo may suck in something as heavyass as a Mk3, but the Corolla is considerably lighter, no? :)

    Anyone here got Bioshock yet?

    Same on mine - even with a measly 256mb Radeon X1950 Pro it's flawless and i didnt once notice any stuttering or slowdown - its been very, very well coded i think. STALKER is a great game but it looks like they were very sloppy with coding, especially the pixel shaders! At least now they've...

    I are the win. Just completed it - a bit irritating towards the end, but otherwise not a bad game...
