LOL in UK we also call an engine the motor at times...we also call the whole car the motor too lOL "hows the motor going mate?" LOL

BUt a motor is only electrical if its called an "electric motor "

Well it's not good to mix electricity and water...

mo·tor (mō'tər)-A device that converts any form of energy into mechanical energy using an arrangement of coils and magnets that converts electric current into mechanical power.

en·gine (ĕn'jĭn)-A machine that converts energy into mechanical force or motion by internal-combustion.

I assume what is meant is either air or water cooled...
or dry liners or cast bore??

At a guess

wet motor??

dont wanna get water in any of them LMAO ;oÞ

Anybody have an opinion about which is better, wet motors or dry motors?

racing as sideways as possible. Its mainly a jap car in Japan type sport..but growing in UK now

what is "drifting'?

Standard 2.8inj was about 150bhp. That was a 2.9 so I think they were 170bhp...theres a lot of car there to pull along with only 170. BUT they went well......and mixed with rwd and the weight...they were fun for drifting :oD

Backoff:
No but I used to put my paws down now and again that did the trick!

I was asking if there was anything done to the motor (i.e. to make more hp)

Backoff:
If you are talking about mine, I had big number 20 put on the bonnet and roof and T Stewart on one side and NASCAR on the other, I ran arround with them on for the last 3 or 4 years I had it. only trouble is with something like that most people down my way knew whos car it was and where I was lol, even the coppers I guess.

what's done to the motor?

Mousetrap: cool

bwildman:
LOL! Yes I meant the add ons.

LOL...I meant the add on's on the car...or is that what you meant?

bwildman:
No I had them done, I told them what I wanted and they did them on PC and put them on for me.

Mousetrap: there ya go!..nice car! did you do the add ons?

bwildman:
Okey dokey try http://groups.msn.com/DRAGSandNASCARfans/_whatsnew.msnw

Mousetrap: that link doesnt work quite right...can you double check the url?

Here are some photos of the Granda Ghia I had.
I posted them in this group online because I don,t have my own web site online at the moment. Here is the link,link

Yea but Scrubbing Bubbles is about $1 a can....

Backoff: you sound like a sooap comercial LOL

as Backoff says..or you can now get purpose made foam spray for the job

anytime!

Any bathroom cleaner should work for ya. I would start with a milder one like Scrubbing Bubbles or Tilex. Test a small hidden area first to make sure there's no color faiding.

...Common as Whores

if you pronounce it as 'high-oon-die'.....then it's "high and dry" ie always up on the hoist!!

to get URABUS LOL You are a bus LOL
