Tiff's the man. I don't think I'd ever even be able to change gear as well as him!

@lucrativeelfmongrel TIff changes gear well.

He can cruise along in fifth gear.

And then ocassionally have fun with the top gear.

He's so good he can do a good show in gears!

If you know who tiff is and see him in real life you would faint.

@REPOMAN24722 right... ill come back when you get your facts sorted out, im not wasting any more of my time on this

[REPOMAN24722]

@IonicRipper The cossworth engine sounds like a 1.6l, The SR20DET was designed for rally and that is were reliability is needed with the engine taking so much stress and shock from jumps, nissans RB26DETT and SR20DETT have both won endurance battles were they raced on a track for hours on end and both of them kept cooler than the others under the same stress.the Cossworth engine just cant do that due to the fact that it's cooling properties are inferior.
