Mr Fuji

I think it's an awesome idea. Maybe along with the taco you should throw in a blue STi that would also be a good idea. :wink:

[TomKat]

Good idea. What's the question???

[adamvann3]

No shit, whats the question, I need time to google the answer

[Mr. Fuji]

Ok, The Question-
In the late 1950s this major Car company set up shop in an abandoned Rambler dealership in Los Angeles, CA. For a Hot Taco, what is the name of the company? ......... and ........for an optional topping of Sour Cream and a few pieces of tomato, what was the model.

Mr Fuji

[VPT]

Bob barker

[devlish]

De Soto Six Sedan from Fisher Motors

[speedyshelby]

I don't think it de soto since they made them in late 20s.

Closet thing that I could find was honda but they bought a different building in 59.

[TheSolMan]

Toyota Motor Sales, 1957, Hollywood, California. During the first year they made 287 Toyopet cars (one of the earliest Toyotas) and one land cruiser.

Booyah!

[devlish]

i guess you win!!

this is a better quote to fully catch the win, it even mentions the former Rambler dealer "...Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC). TMS opened its doors for business in 1957 at a former Rambler dealership in Hollywood, California, "
nice find!

[Mr. Fuji]

TheSolMan!!!! The Winner!!

Were talking a Taco on Mr Fuji. The model was a Toyopet CROWN (I'll throw in the upgrade to Tomatos and Sour Cream).
The very first U.S. Toyota sale was a Toyopet Crown. It had a 60 hp thumping out of its crazy 1453cc 4 cyl. motor. (This info is from Augest 21st edition of AutoWeek magizine). Just think, now these guys may be the biggest U.S. auto maker. Im not sure if they took the number one spot yet.

Congrats!

[TomKat]

Damn. Taco Tuesday trivia is tough.

[TheSolMan]

Taco Tuesday Trivia for next week. Sponsored by the winner of this week.

What is the displacement of the highest motor offered and what type of fuel was used in that motor for the Fiat Panda?
And for tomatoes and sour cream who designed the first Panda?

[Pointdsm]

1.4l and Diesel

[Pointdsm]

designer...Giorgetto Giugiaro

[TheSolMan]

1.4l and Diesel

The designer was right but you're going to have to show me where you got your info on the motor size because as far as I am concerned there was never that large of a motor in any of the three generations of Panda. If you can't show me a reliable source than that question is still up for grabs.

[Pointdsm]

my apologies, it was a 1.4l gas engine, heres the site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Panda

[TheSolMan]

my apologies, it was a 1.4l gas engine, heres the site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Panda

Sorry man, because anybody can go and put anything they want on wikipedia it cannot be considered reliable. All the official sites that I have found do not list that motor as an option for any of the three generations. And any sites that I have found that list a 1.4l take their info from wikipedia. Take another stab at it.

The taco is still up for grabs.

[Pointdsm]

Fine..how bout this

http://www.askaprice.com/research/technical_data.asp?car=fiat+panda+1.4+16v+100hp+5d r&vehicle=35735

I thought the question looked familiar. Those Toyota articles they've been putting in the front are definitely interesting to read.

Well I guess I can't argue with that. Looks like you won yourself a taco with tomatoes and sour cream. You'd better show up then.

[Pointdsm]

haha, since i will be whitewater for this coming taco tuesday(i leave saturday)..i now forfeit my prize to TK, in return for him taking me to get tires this spring when he finally decides to go.

[TomKat]

If PDSM wasn't such a stuck up prick and maybe actually attended Taco Tuesday we wouldn't have this problem.

[Pointdsm]

If i was stupid enough to drive 2.5 hours to go to TT with you guys, then i'd go.

[TomKat]

Well that would be acceptable, but you didn't attend when you were .25 hours away. :x

jeeze, i'm not on the forum for a day, and all the little children start mouthing off.

[EVILUTION]

my neighborhood says your car is a piece of shit, learn to put in steering column bolts before you sell your car you fucking dumb ass... get a life or a girlfriend that doesnt look like a man.

Holy crap..... Eric's GF looks like a man? I need to see a pic dammit.

Oh oh my neighborhood is filled with nascar fans. They actually have been saying that they miss the reckless driving and burnouts that go on in the summer. I also heard the guy on the corner say that he needs new siding on his house so he hopes Eric sells another car with a dicked up sterring column!
This morning Bernice said she can hardly wait till summer so she can put down some kick ass posi th the Jag. She also asked if I could put a stutter box in her car because she thinks a V12 stutter would sound cool.

[Pointdsm]

WTF jeske, your the only one on this forum that has met my girlfriend in person!

[EVILUTION]

Well I dont know who you are dating these days. If its the chick from CM then I'll give you a high five because she's cute.

[Pointdsm]

"high five" because thats who my girlfriend is, but she quit there.

hey man, tell bernice i'll start doing a few more one-wheel wonder burnouts with the 'Duh if it'll make her a little happier. i can also take the jeep threw her front lawn if she's up for it!!

[TomKat]

I agree. PDSM's g-friend is not on here to defend herself and she never should have been brought up on here in the first place. That's pretty small of someone to resort to tactics like that.

[EVILUTION]

What the fuck is all this drama about? We are all big boyz here so suck it up and deal. I do agree with TK, we shouldn't be talking about bitches in the racing and track talk forum unless its how they drive. What you bench racers should be talking about are the dates for this triple challenge.

[fordssuck]

Most people around here should be have all the kinks worked out by the rapids cruise. I know that jeff cash wants in on this tri-fecta of challenges. Evil do you want to join in on the festivities.

What is with all of the deleted posts?????

It is really hard to follow the conversation when half of it is gone.

NEW QUESTION!!!
After watching Test Drive on Speed tonight, they talked about the new Pontiac Turbo Solstice (however you spell it) GXP as having the highest H.P. per Litre in GM history, as well as being one of the highest in its sports car segment. Its 260hp or 130hp per Litre . The turbo is a 2.0 litre. They talked about the Porsche boxter and the Evo being at the top as well. The Evo, depending on year, looks to be 137 to 142hp per Litre. I dont know what the boxter is. But they missed one-
There is a car in factory production today with 183hp per litre! It is currently sold in the US. For a taco, what is the make and model.

Congrats dude. I went to google and just typed in 183hp per liter and a million rx-8 sites popped up.

[Mr. Fuji]

TSi_II gets the TACO!!!
183hp per litre and no Turbo. God save us all if they ship the 3 rotor stateside. Mazdaspeed RX-8???

[TomKat]

And then turbocharge it. :twisted:

[TSi_II]

Does this mean I have to attend a TT now? I guess I can give it a shot.... Could someone PM or post the details for me.

[TomKat]

It's not too difficult. The taco bus departs for Taco Tuesday at 7:30pm from Race Central or you can drive yourself and just meet at Taco Johns in Rapids at 8pm. Then you order lots of yummy tacos and when your finished we call it a success. :D

p.s. I'd hit Mr. Fuji up for the taco upgrade.

[Mr. Fuji]

OK!
For a Taco upgrade, what model car Finished 4th in the GT class today in the Rolex 24hrs of Daytona?

[TSi_II]

Same answer.... RX-8

[Pointdsm]

It was a very good race, watched a couple hours of it(while doing other things). Lemans is much better though.

[TomKat]

How much horsepower does a Saturn 5 rocket have? 1st stage of course.

For a taco upgrade what is the mpg (or shall I say distance per gallon) of it on takeoff?

[DontStopMe]

425 HP

[Pointdsm]

0 horsepower, thrust is not horsepower.

no clue yet for the bonus.

[devlish]

that would be measured in thrust-force actually, 34.02 MN (7,648,000 lbf)
(The five F-1 engines on the first stage produce the quivalent of 160,000,000hp)

[Pointdsm]

well he specifically asked for horsepower, otherwise that is the correct answer. TK, what did you want?

[DontStopMe]

http://uplink.space.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=businesstech&Number=471732&page=9&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&fpart=
End of the first full paragraph.

[devlish]

however i cannot find the "mpg" at takeoff. it is SUPER HIGH when in orbit though, becuase it only thrusts once to leave a planet, and again to stop at the next. those numbers are SUPER HIGH!!

however, it's usually measured in "Newtons per kilometer per second" or something like that if i remember correctly. not MPG, but rather the burn rate.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

425 HP

you were close huh???

[devlish]

close only counts in horseshoes and hand gernades though. sorry, no cheese for you!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

this isn't very family-friendly of a forum is it??

sorry :(

[devlish]

it's OK. just don't piss off TK

[TomKat]

Good job Devlish. 160 million horsepower according to the history channel. One free taco for Devlish. He he I bet he's a no show. Probably thinking up an excuse right now.

So anyone want to guess how far the Saturn V rocket will get on 1 gallon of fuel on takeoff. For the taco upgrade of course. BTW the taco upgrade is sour cream and tomatoes. Not cheese. The regular taco comes with cheese.

[devlish]

found this, but don't doesn't sound right: Saturn V (rocket), 10 inches to infinity on one gallon of fuel. (While the Saturn consumes enormous quantities of fuel in its early stages, once it escapes the earth's gravitational field no more fuel is consumed.)

found this too: "a Saturn 5 burned somewhere around 4000 gallons of fuel and oxidizer per second on takeoff" while another place said " Saturn 5 burned somewhere around 1000 gallons of fuel and oxidizer per second on takeoff". so someone is wrong.

rocketship fuel economy is measure by ISP though if i remember from all the reading i did today.

the rocketship transporter, however, uses 125.7 Gallons Per Mile

[TomKat]

The correct answer for the taco upgrade was 5 inches to the gallon. Poor Devlish had to suffer with just a regular taco.

[devlish]

next week... i'll get it next week!!!

i propose a new rule...

whoever wins the TTT, chooses next weeks question. if no-one get its, the person who asked it can either ask another question for the following week, or pick a new person to ask the next question. sound OK to everyone??

if not, that's OK too. i just think it'll work out nicely that way!

TACO TUESDAY QUESTION:

In the early 80's New Zealand's only idigenous car manufacture went on a mission to establish itself as a global player, but few people were fooled by their attempt. This vehicle was only manufactured from 1982-1984. It was based on the the 1979 Mistubishi Sigma. Name the MAKE & MODEL of this keenly priced car!!

For the bonus FREE TACO UPGRADE... list the displacement of this small engine, in CC or CI

For the extra-bonus FREE GREASE BUTTON UPGRADE... Name the station wagon counterpart model.



Good Luck, and happy searching!

[devlish]

looks like i'll only be buying myself tacos tonight. owell, more for me!!

Lonsdale Sigma

avalable with the 4G55 displaces 2.3 L (2346 cc).

From Wikipedia:
Mitsubishi's fourth iteration of the Galant / Sigma debuted many new innovations for Mitsubishi. Their new 'Sirius' engine was offered in turbocharged form for performance enthusiasts, while for economy, an 'Astron' 4D55, the first diesel engine in a Japanese passenger car, was also available.

For the second generation in a row Mitsubishi could claim to be building an award-winning car, as this was chosen as Car of the Year in New Zealand in 1981.

From 1982 to 1983, some of the Australian Sigmas were exported to the United Kingdom with the Lonsdale badge, circumventing the voluntary import quota restrictions adopted by Japanese manufacturers. However the car was unsuccessful, and for 1983 and 1984 it carried Mitsubishi Sigma badges in the UK before imports were discontinued.

The wagon version was facelifted, although from firewall back the vehicle remained the same. Production continued in Australia until 1987 when it was replaced by the new Magna.

[VPT]

Don't crank on the valve cover bolts!

[devlish]

Lonsdale Sigma

avalable with the 4G55 displaces 2.3 L (2346 cc).


incorrect. (partially right, but not totally, so no cookie for you!)

keep looking i guess!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Another source:

Other international alliances
Colt & Lonsdale
The Colt name appears frequently in Mitsubishi's history since its introduction as a rear-engined 600cc sedan in the early 1960s. Today, it most commonly refers to the Mitsubishi Colt subcompact in the company's line-up, but is also the name of MMC's import/distribution company in the United Kingdom, established in 1974. For the first decade of its existence, before Far Eastern auto manufacturers had established their reputations, its cars carried the "Colt" badge in Britain instead of "Mitsubishi".

In 1982 & '83, Mitsubishi introduced the Australian-built Chrysler Sigma to the UK as the "Lonsdale Sigma" in an attempt to circumvent British import quotas, but the new brand was unsuccessful. It then carried "Mitsubishi Sigma" badges in 1983-84 before abandoning this operation entirely.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Lonsdale Saloon

and the wagon was called the estate.

[devlish]

boy, it's a tough call... politics probably screwed up somewhere on this one.

i'm still going to go with NO though. i had a very close guess for the bonus last week, and the ONLY source of info was word of mouth... someone (tk) could have easily mistaken the number he THOUGHT he heard for MPG with the actual number.

answer is still incorrect. there is a specific model name given by the manufacturer.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Lonsdalen vuosina which must be german or something

otherwise this has to be it:

Lonsdale 4-Door Saloon
Lonsdale 5-Door Estate

[devlish]

as gene would say: you "got boned... HARD!!! By some political crap!"

Lonsdale = Yes
model names = No

are these all guesses for the main question still?? you've had 4 incorrect so far.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

as gene would say: you "got boned... HARD!!! By some political crap!"

Lonsdale = Yes
model names = No

are these all guesses for the main question still?? you've had 4 incorrect so far.

while I am still going to stick with Lonsdale Sigma for m final answer since everywhere refers to it as the "Lonsdale Sigma"

Or a few places call its a Lonsdale Saloon, which is like us in the US saying a Lonsdale car.

[DontStopMe]

as gene would say: you "got boned... HARD!!! By some political crap!"

I got a zero on my SAT's.

[Pointdsm]

Its the lonsdale. It was sold much like the Holden Manaro is sold as the GTO in the states. Its the name of the compant and of its only car made. It did not have a model name, it was simply the name for the Mitsubishi Galant.

[Pointdsm]

Lonsdale Galant!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Lonsdale Galant!

the sigma is the galant, i already guessed that.

[Pointdsm]

Well, he wants exact, if hes gunna be that picky, hes gunna be that picky. I want the answer soon, so we can prove him wrong.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Here is another source:

A substantial facelift took place in 1980, though the rear end (from firewall back) of the wagon was retained. Mitsubishi officially considers this a new generation Galant (Sigma). It was Car of the Year in New Zealand in 1981. Production of the wagon model continued in Australia till 1987, when the Magna wagon came on stream. An anomaly of this Galant was that the sedan (all new body) was on a longer 2530 mm wheelbase than the wagon (previous generation body with new front sheetmetal), which used a slightly shorter 2515 mm wheelbase.


Lonsdale
From 1982 to 1983, some of the Australian Sigmas were exported to the United Kingdom with the Lonsdale badge, circumventing the voluntary 11 percent market restriction adopted by Japanese manufacturers. The car was unsuccessful. For its final year, 1983 to 1984, it carried Mitsubishi Sigma badges in the UK before meeting its demise.

while I am still going to stick with Lonsdale Sigma for m final answer since everywhere refers to it as the "Lonsdale Sigma"
actually you've only posted one place where it actually refers to it as the Lonsdale Sigma, the other references refer to it as the Lonsdale that wears the Mitsubishi Sigma badging. Hold on.... let me put some Type R stickers on my Civic... there, now it's a type R.

it still has a specific name given to it by Lonsdale. Not something it was called as it was later introduced into the UK as the Lonsdale Sigma. THERE IS AN ACTUAL NAME FOR IT!! You're only finding the name used for it's intro into the UK. it was widely UNpopular for initial intro into the New Zealand market.

airbags were made available to the public in November 1973 when General Motors began offering dual airbags as an extra-cost option on several 1974 model full size cars made by the Buick, Cadillac and Oldsmobile divisions.

Devlish wins the free taco. Sorry I already ate it. Yum :)

[TomKat]

Yup.

When it arrived in 1987, this Japanese vehicle had many "High Tech" features. Way ahead of the competition of its day,the front suspension had a Fiber Glass Reinforced Plastic front leaf spring to reduce mass and offer better handling. The Vehicle also had Duel Sunroofs (Front and Rear), a "Cool Box" that would heat or cool your drinks and make ice, A Rotating 2nd seat, and a 2.4 Litre Fuel Injected motor with an available 5 speed trans (rear wheel drive). There was one small problem, they liked to start on fire!
After several recalls, most were returned to the dealership, all fluids were drained and they were shipped to the crusher. Owners were offered a "buy back" program or a credit\discount on a new vehicle.

For a taco,name the Make and Model.

[speedyshelby]

Closet thing I can find has the dual sunroofs the 2.4 5 speed rwd is a Toyota Previa but I don't think they made them in 87 90 seems to be the first year.

[TomKat]

This is a good question. What was the Toyota van called before the Previa? We had one at work that had a mini refridgerator with an even smaller freezer. Had these little ice cube trays. Really cute.

For 2 tacos and a laugh, how many broken dsm's does it take for the owner to come over to the honda side?

[TomKat]

A shitload for some, but it will happen eventually. It only took one for me to realize it's better on the Honda side.

[paulmeisterpk]

Dang, I guess I've been missing out on some pretty good questions all this time...

See, us dsm people have to buy a slow ass honda just to get some races around here. A honda is so slow, you almost have to stop and take a piss break part way down the 1/4 mile. My winter beater (LASER) was too fast for everything around here, few exeptions. So, I guess I will have to start the search for a D15. Then I will be able to run everyone.

[devlish]

i gotta agree with extreme. it seems the same DSMs race the same people over and over. it was nice to see Storm got some minor upgrades to get into the faster mix.

good luck with that D15 fronk!!

I should clarify this a little. When the winter beater (Laser) was actually running I did see it race and it got stomped. I guess it was a good thing the (Laser) was sooooooooooooooooooo fast because it was never running good enough to be able to run.

[TSi_II]

What stomped it?

[TomKat]

Evilution.

[EVILUTION]

Well I stomped it in the standing mile or whatever speed trial we had going..... then during the drag race I caused him to blow up his fancy JDM tranny.

A broken car is the normal outcome of a JJM vs Extreme race. Its a curse I dont think we will be racing anymore. In fact I caused Dizmm's DSM to go up in smoke too. I'm just bad luck.

[Pointdsm]

Thank God i wasn't in your group!

[TomKat]

You aren't bad luck. It just a DSM thing.

[Extremedsm]

Where are the honda things keeping up with a dsm. The trans that was in the laser did not belong in there in the first place. I put it in there and then found out it was from a non turbo galant. Never had a problem at all with the laser until that night.

If I recall right, my "broken" dsm beat some z06 in a quarter mile. That is pretty rough.

I get a kick out of you DSM guys. Never had a problem until that night. Riiiiiggggghhhhhhtttt. Uh huh. :lol:

Yes your heavily modified DSM barely beat my stock Z06 in a drag race. Lets do some real racing. :roll:

You seen the laser run MANY times without a problem.

Heavily modified, FAR from.

[TSi_II]

All that had was a K&N filter, a ported turbo and exhaust manifold and a lot of stickers..... lol

[EVILUTION]

I haven't seen a 12 second honda in a very long time..... years actually.... is there even such a beast in Point?

The fastest honda in town is probably cash's S2K. The S2000 has been known to own at autocrossing events as well.

WORD ON THE STREET is that Mark Ervin has plans to make his honda the fastest car at Shawano. No vette, evo, dsm, or s2k will have a chance against the progressive supercharged intercooled hondata vtek'd SI.

If that isn't a blatant call out to everyone on this forum I don't know what is. I wonder what the outcome of S2K vs SI would be.

I am humble, my goal is simply to not get lapped more than twice in any one session.

Are you talking about the Laser? If you are give me a break. There was a lot more done to it than that. There must be something about DSM's how they stretch and deform reality.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Add a boost controller and some weight reduction to TSI_II's statement and there you have it. Oh crap, I forgot, a crappy boost guage.

[TSi_II]

An APC shift knob too.... lol
THAT'S now the complete list.

[EVILUTION]

Who really cares what was done to it.... the thing moved pretty darn good. That was then this is now.

This is the taco tuesday trivia thread ......

If you haven't gone for tacos at Taco Johns on a Tuesday this year then you shouldn't be starting shit in here.

Thats what the spool and smack talk forum is for.

Oh yeah and DSM Link, but hey what's one more little mod. Oh wait a super duper built JDM blah blah blah transmission.

I'm going to propose a new theory. The DSM loop phenomenon.

Reality: A Laser heavily modified.

Now through the loop.... Looking back:

Oh my: That Laser was soooooo incredibly fast it was a waste of time to race anyone. 100% factory stock. Only had $5.00 invested in the car including purchase price.

Yup that's how it works.

[Extremedsm]

NO dsmlink. Sorry.

[devlish]

i remember the laser... no rear brakes, no bumper supports, NO safety equipment at all. heavlily ported turbo, no exhuast (for the most part...) a walbro and aboost controller.

depends on what you consider "heavily modified" ?? all that weight loss is a pretty major modification if you ask me. however... if you go only by what add-on's were on there... i wouldn't call it heavily modified.

No walbro ever installed. Never ran more than 15psi.

LOL... You face was priceless.... Good timing.
