Nooooooooo long live the mechincal/caburetor induction or injeecction MWHAHAHHA

Computers are silly, they are hard to work with (for feeble minded people like myself) annoying (99.9% of the time is user error, yeah me ALL the time) and damn uglY! well at least kinda ugly....

BUT, if you do so happen to like them ill try not to hold it against you, i.e leigh, bugger it put the A14 back in the wagon hahahahaha
I have to admit a 2.5 litre Boxer or the new Nissan QR25DE 2.5 liter Engine in my Datsun would be quite nice, wouldnt fit but quite nice......anyway wiring sucks!

whoooo, way to much caffinee intake atm.....

Some people mite say i'm talking sh%t ,but you don't need to have a computer in your car for it to be fast.Pro stock people.

Maybe one day...if..(When!!) the a-15 dies.

I have a'99 WRX in the shed with 27000km's on it. I open the bonnet and just freak out. What is half that crap..? That's why it only has 27000km's on it.

For now I'll stick to the a-series.

computers are a magical magical thing. you should embrace them! i'm making an Aseries injection manifold at the moment. the old twin webers are a well proven path tho. think about it tho, electronically inkected fuel based on a number of sensors that you can tune without changing jets and chokes. and they are not that complex to get a basic grip on... you'd be surprised!

I can have a go at them if you like....Only Joking..

My car only has an A-series in it because I'm hopeless with computers...and I kind of like the idea of trying (Trying!!!) to get old technology going quick.

I don't have any problems with CA18's or SR20's or whatever....just computers..!!

fair enuff

hey how come no one had a go at guru rallycar when he snapped his diff after doing a burnout whilst in a "street racing" battle against a VL turbo.

its coz i don't have an A series isn't it. well i have got one, just in a different car.

hehe, you've been taken digs at me, sweet revenge

Point taken, looks like we all kicked a goal.

Point taken.

I know that most of you guys have probably progressed through quicker and quicker cars and are quite accomplished drivers, and obviously take pride in, and are careful with your cars. It shows in the photos, and comments that you all make.

It may have seemed like I was singling you out LAGWAGON...if so I apologise...it was just your comment that I read.

Additionally if I came across as professing to be a saint to any of you you're right...i'm no saint.

Anyone who tries to tell people that they've never done a burnout, our gone over the speed limit, or whatever is lying.

My point...which may not have been well worded...is that there is a time and a place for everything. You have since clarified the situation you were in.

Obviously, while you guys may all be good drivers...(Datsun Drivers usually are)..there is always the possibility of an accident, usually through inattentive driving...not necessarily speeding.

All I'm saying is that before you drive in a spirited manner...consider the location, conditions of the road, other drivers and so on...and ensure that it is SAFE.

In my opinion...now that I'm older..and having been through that phase...I believe that the only safe place is on a track..or other regulated site.

It's just my opinion...which, together with $1.20 will buy you a Sydney Morning Herald.

By the way...my car does have cage...race A15....harnesses etc....but it ain't on the road yet. I need to finish brake lines / booster and a few other small things.

It'll mostly be used for hillclimbs at Bathurst...

I do feel strongly about safety on our roads....I'm sure you all do too.

Stay safe...!!!!!!

Dan.

what a crack up! getting persecuted for being a "street racer". man am i a hard arse . i went up against a car that was supposed to be fast and "beat" it. once. 80kph zone, divided road and an industrial area on my way to my girlfriend's for dinner. i was wearing mockies for crying out loud. probably didn't even go fast enough to lose three points.

come off it Dan... you have a twin webered a15'd 1200 with race seats and cage and harnesses etc. why would you do that??? because you like a nice handling, quick accelerating car??? i think freak put it very well, if you try to convince me you have never done a burnout or accelerated in an "unlawful" manner or any of the other things he mentioned i wouldn't believe you anyway.

i'm not an idiot. i like the time and a place idea.

and i reckon you're wrong about (most of) the rest of the website. its an interesting comparison i think. would you believe anyone if they "thought" that their car was faster than another?

these subjects always cause a bit of controversy

dedicated post too! you must feel strongly
