Oosh, seems I may have hit a soft spot there

Yeah but you see, I really couldn't care less as to what people say.. Maybe this is your motor as you have taken offence to it....

Not mine. I just don't take lightly to people who don't live by the shit they preach and pay other people out for doing exactly what they're doing.... Sure you don't care what people say, but wouldnt you rather not have trademe tards ruin an auction where you're legitimately trying to sell something?

As that post was made last june I don't think it was aimed at your project. There was probably a facebook event with that name.

This sort of flare up is usually a sign of stress and the person usually doesn't even know they are suffering from it. So don't take it to heart Chris.

Bahahahah. Thanks for your concern. You're obviously still precious about me disagreeing with your rant about businesses trying to make a dollar. Good to see your English skills have come along nicely.

Haha no need to worry - I hardly ever stress about things. Especially whilst online. Just having some fun!

I know that guy he worked on my VR6 and hated it

I had a look at that engine when it was in his car, its certainly nothing to scoff at..

Basic economics guys... It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

You couldn't build that engine for that price, not using the same quality of parts (As has been posted earlier)

But it's cars... You never get what you paid for it.

Would I pay 5g? Hell no, I'd hold out until it's around 3g.
Shit, for 5grand you could buy a complete turbo mx5... (Or a nice real car

)

Ha! Your such a windup master Bwarp! You crack me up every time.

Leave this thread for a few hours and look whats happened.

Chris - Stop trolling people so much, and dont joke about ruining someone's auction who is trying to sell something. It will never be taken the right way.

Toolbox - Dont make bland assumptions about people to try wind them up. Makes you look like a jerk.

Bwarp - Only thing I could say is try to be a touch more suttle on your approach about an issue.

This forum is one of the most well behaved/not bitchy I have seen on the internet. Lets not ruin it now.

That seems really high.

Bearing in mind that 20 years ago they had about 105 hp add 20 years wear and tear onto the parts...

OK...for some reason they want to be displayed upside down - even when I corrected it before I saved the file...strange.
This was done around 3 years ago on a hub dyno.

Flywheel Horsepower (116.6hp)

Rear Wheel Horsepower - 75.6kw (Equates to 101hp)

That can be the difference between an SAE reading and not. Most americans show similar results. As to which is true only Mazda knows...

This.

No offence (And I really do mean no offence) in my opinion Dynos can show just about anything in regards to power figures.

But as long as your happy with the power that's all that matters

Snapfrozen · Post by **Snapfrozen** » Wed Mar 13, 2013 1:23 pm

Imo the only way to measure power is premod and postmod on the same dyno. People didn't believe the power figures my civic reached but I had before and afters and fuck was I impressed.

Also keep in mind hub dynos don't need to spin the wheels

That is a good way, use the same dyno before and after

Got some new Watanabes

They are 14-6.5j +14.5 with 185/60/14 Yoko S-Drives, really good tyres.
