coronamark2 Forums Junkie Location: Perth Registered: May 2003	Re: RIP: W57 Fri, 02 April 2004 01:09 Allan wrote on Thu, 01 April 2004 22:44 I'd Prefer the 4m-e/5m-e fuel injection Last time i checked my car was carbie Allan wrote Thats almost the bigest load of crap I have ever heard! I would much rather find the fastest smoothest way thru a corner then be stuffing around changing down gears trying to match the exit speed of the corner, I dont know maybe its the fact your yet to experence something with decent grunt, I know all too well about 4/5m's - you have time to open your can of coke and drink it between changes unless there SERIOUSLY modded, even then with such a flat torque/power curve its far from fussy about what RPM you pull out of a corner with. Now you look at norbies case, a High powered turbo car thats driven dayly, im shure he could find something else beside a gearbox to spend $5000 on For 5000 you could get a auto for nothing rebuild it for about $1500ish (if it needed it *unlikely*) shift kit is about $300-400? that would leave about $3000 that he could get a motec for and then he can even set the points he wants the auto to shift at So when your flying into a corner in your "auto" does it know when you want to change down to get the best speed out of the corner, even if you do shift down (which cant hurt the indestructable auto) you have to wait or open a can of coke before it shifts down. i've checked out norbies car its a beast and i'll bet you my left nad he would prefer a manual to an auto Allan wrote Hello 4m Vs high powered car again! a high powered car puts much more stress on a driveline for example GT's 2jz eats a 5M/7M-GE clutch like a cookie from subway, easly fixed with bigger/heavyer clutch/pressure plate if this was a dayly driver tho dave would end up walking funny with a strong left leg from the heavy clutch pedal Now norbie can do the big clutch/R154 thing (or V160 if his bank manager likes the look of his ass) but again what will go next Thrust washer, Clutch.. will he need some fancy twin plate $$$$$$? does he want to have cramps in his leg from a clutch pedal so heavy it belongs in a truck? then are the sharp unloading/loading forces of a manual going to turn his F series diff into 7.5inchs of metal clunks? or half shaft into two halfs of a half shaft? You should REALLY look at both sides of the coin before you comment Manual is the be all and end all of transmissions, if it was Formula 1, porsche, BMW, Toyota etc etc etc are all wrong and you should write them a letter telling them that. Allan We'll have to agree to disagree, i know id spend the extra to get the 6 spd with truck driver clutch but thats me. i have looked at both sides of the coin and last time i looked porsche,bmw and toyota have manual gearboxes there are to many forms of motorsports to list that use manual gear boxes (ie V8 Supercars) how boring would it be if they had autos once again thats just my opinion [Report message to a moderator]
