Re: Zed car performance enhancements

Terry, The toyota V8's are pretty popular here in Perth thanks to Powerhouse.There are quite a few supercharged and turboed street cars around.They also use them in jet boats and i've seen a supercharged alcohol injected dragster.A bloke up the road has a vvt version in a roadster with haltech computer and claims it makes 180rwKW.From what i've seen and heard they are a pretty strong and reliable motor.

We've done in excess of 300th kays in the family Crown Royal and it's still in very good shape - little things like the seals are not split, it doesn't rattle or leak water or dust, and the seats are not ripped or springs broken, and the electrical items all still work. Have a look at a 15 yo falcodore and there is no comparison except the driveline of the VL as it's Nissan.regardsTerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Davidson Sent: Thursday, 10 May 2001 6:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Zed car performance enhancements   These Lexus V8's arnt all that exciting to drive.  I drive them pretty much every week and are gutless compared to the Gen3 or Ford V8's. The Supra turbo 6 goes alot harder and u can actually power slide with them!  This is just my 2 cents but others may think differnt... ScottDavo PS.  Been away for a month came back to see over 2000 emails!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: Richard Clough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, 09 May, 2001 20:04 Subject: Re: Zed car performance enhancements  I have to admit that Lexus V8 looks very tempting for just about any swap,  Its so compact for its punch, really looks the part, and is fantastic for power, reliabilty and construction quality.! ----- Original Message ----- From: Errol Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 8 May 2001 8:54 AM Subject: RE: Zed car performance enhancements   Richard, Not bad huh!
