edison supplied Westinghouse 1000V AC generators to New York State prison to use for the electric chair. Once the first guy was electrocuted edison commented that he was 'Westinghoused' due to the fact that it was one of Westinghouse's generators that was used. Westinghouse refused to supply his...

i live in Bob Carr's old seat, safe Labor. I'll vote for one of the remaining social democratic parties, either Democrat or Greens but preference the Libs - not a huge fan of the Labor candidate

The 300ZX is probalbly one of the worst modern cars Nissan has released from a reliability perspective. Overheating seems to be a problem, especially with such a cramped engine bay. The soarers are mechanically bulletproof if seviced properly but make sure all the electronics are functioning...

While the design may have been around for 50 years, they are still modern engines. GM is capable of producing multi-cam V8s, it has produced them in the past for racing purposes. While the pushrod design is inherently less efficient than an ohc/4 valve design, they have advantages in other...

I agree, but sadly there are things called p-plater restrictions, fuel prices and insurance premiums. On a pure sportscar level however, supra owns it's little brother.

as much as i like the M5, i can't help but think that it isn't powerful enough. 370~kw isn't really enough for a large sport sedan these days especially when you consider that HSV will inevitably release a car with power at least equalling it when the new commodore is released. I think it may be...

w3rd. i think the wedgy st162 shape looks far more agressive and masculine than the st184. The light st162 with some decent suspension work/tyres/brakes would make an excellent weekend circuit/touge car while still retaining great fuel economy and practicality. I think toyota got a little...

ahh, ok. all the diff specs are kind of confusing. I have seen a few st162s converted to a 3sgte and retaining FWD, i'm sure they would be quite a handful - and quite fast. If i had the money i would get a JDM st204 front cut and put the 3sge and JDM suspension and brakes in, then it would be...

The ADM st185 uses the same (5sfe) as the ADM st204 which is also the same as the Camry of the same year. I thought that the ADM 162 came with a 3sfe single cam? Maybe your mate has a JDM private import. Apparently the JDM st162 has a 160ps 3sge, making it far more powerful than the 130~ps 5sfe...

thanks mate, i agree on the gt4s - they're crazy, but having a 3SGTE and AWD tends to help. The aus delivered 204's aren't rockets - it's just a camry engine after all - but the JDM version came with a sweet 130 odd kw 3sge 2.0L. The JDM tail-lights and headlights are also much better...

What does it do 0-100 7thS? Even with the auto, your MX6 would probalbly take my celica in a roll-on. I have always liked small V6's like the Eunos 30X and FTO Mivec mainly for the intoxicating sound.

these are the best pics I could find, note the supportive bucket seats and driver's side airbag. The car now has no rear spoiler and looks infinitely better.

i picked up a st204 '94 celica as my first car just after the restrictions came in. They are a very sexy car (especially in red), reliable so far and P-plate friendly. If you want a good condition 95 manual expect to pay about 12gs, though i picked up mine with sports exhaust, 17" rims, and...
