Is it 1.5 degrees toe in?

by **Steady** » February 1st, 2008, 2:56 pm

Nope.

by **LTDHO** » February 1st, 2008, 2:57 pm

3 deg?

by **Steady** » February 1st, 2008, 2:59 pm

nope, one more guess, obscure questions suck

by **Damo** » February 1st, 2008, 3:05 pm

3.5mm ?

by **Steady** » February 1st, 2008, 3:11 pm

Nope, it's zero.

Easy question, what colours was the ED Sprint released in? Proper names too

by **Commando** » February 1st, 2008, 3:15 pm

Bland White, St Kilda Red, Conservative Blue, Fag Green and Emo Black?

by **Damo** » February 1st, 2008, 3:16 pm

Cobalt Blue, Pearl Black, Dynamic White, Le Mans Red and Polynesian Green ?

by **Steady** » February 1st, 2008, 3:16 pm

Damo = WINNAH

by **spope** » February 1st, 2008, 3:35 pm

I personally think Dave should get the points there.

I didn't believe you Steady, but it's written in the manual in black and white: Tickford Suspension: Toe-in/out - 0 +/- 1.5mm (ZERO preferred)
How odd. I guess they figure if you buy an XR you are gonna know how to drive.
Standard car is 3.0mm toe in optimal.

by **Damo** » February 1st, 2008, 3:38 pm

Cool

Who was President of Ford with the release of the EL ?

hehe, reason that sticks in my mind is cause I had an argument with a guy when I booked my car in for a wheel alignment and I asked for XR specs, and he swore black and blue they were the same as standard.

No.... I'll be kinder.

Which large manufacturing companies formed the company FMS Audo?

by **spope** » February 1st, 2008, 4:20 pm

I have been led to believe FMS stands for Ford Mazda Sanyo.
So I am gonna guess Ford + Mazda + Sanyo.

by **arm79** » February 1st, 2008, 4:21 pm

You are full of obscure bullshit knowledge...

Well done.

Yup. It makes it useful for the internets.

Ok. What are the torque settings for the head bolts on an I6 engine?

by **arm79** » February 1st, 2008, 4:29 pm

40nm + 90deg or 30nm + 120deg same shit, different bucket

by **spope** » February 1st, 2008, 4:35 pm

Correct! That was an easy one anyway, I think.

by **Steady** » February 1st, 2008, 6:57 pm

XR or not XR?

by **arm79** » February 1st, 2008, 6:59 pm

They are the same according to my sources.

by **Steady** » February 1st, 2008, 7:01 pm

EF/ELs suck, the XR ones in ED are the monstah ones to account for weight of awesome boot lip spoiler.
I'll guess 30n

by **arm79** » February 1st, 2008, 7:03 pm

Thats nice J... Shame I asked for bonnet, not boot.

But no, very wrong.
