100,000 taxi drivers can't be wrong. If Commonwhores were better, they would drive `em. :P

No Doc. Holden refuse to do the Taxi thing. Just not on. Even when they could have made a squillion dollars with the bad reputation of lemon EA Falcon (and the others).

Remember don't compare Taxi miles to normal everyday use, as they are always 'warmed up'.

Go the Holden!

Send me all your Pulsar D4R85's then :wink:

Even graham is going to put one into his 998 project! :shock: :shock: :shock:


Thats taken a little out of context there mate....... :?

Graham is looking to try and find a decent curve for them, he is gonna play around with one and put it in his motor when its on the dyno so that he can do a back to back comparison of them to finally get a accurate comparison of a Lucas dizzy with the pulsar one...

once he has done that the motor going in his 998 will get a lucas dizzy :wink:

People reckon that the Lucas Dizzy is a pain in the weather, I have driven were the water was over my bonet almost. Water was surely bound to saturate my dizzy and alternator and everything electrical and wait she still goes and better then ever. I believe although the pulsar dizzys do have theire good points .... you cant beat points.

Lucas original and the best. As far as Im concerned , and is waiting to be prooven otherwise because it'd take a lot for me to knock my dizzy with all the water that drenched it and I have rarely needed to tune my car too. So I don't see the point in pulsar dissy only points I see are on my dizzy.

i think the point is that most people's dizzy is in a poor state, just cos its 30+ years old.

That's in the past, stop living in the past. The latest Dyno results from Saturday read different figures. Get up to date! We are in the age of the internet now :roll:
