I got it because I saw they had an article on the redtop SR20det... I was reading through it and came up on this line "horsepower numbers were significantly higher than the factory equipped T28 turbo's number" Now it just makes me think when a magazine called Turbo would get something like that wrong. This was the first and last Turbo mag i ever buy.

Well I spent a whoel day with evan the editor of turbo mag. he is a very intellegent guy and researches everything.. as well as the people who write under him. i'm sure there is somthing you don't know making it not believable to you.

What dont I know. They said it was a redtop and they said it used a t28 stock. What is there to misunderstand? I know it might not be a very big thing, but it just bugs me when magazines do things such as this.

Check a UK dictionary. Words like tyre and aluminium(just how Brits pronounce it) are commonplace elsewhere. I'll bet you're against the metric system too...

Yeah, we (Aussies) say everything like they do in the UK, since we never kicked the bludgers out like you did.:pface

I'm always seeing ads in magazines here spelling Silvia as Sylvia. Dunno about going to a workshop that doesn't know the name of the car they're working on!

I'm not against the metric system, and that's one of the stupidest things i've heard. HE DOESN'T LIKE WHEN PEOPLE TALK FOB/AUSSIE AND SPELL TIRES TYRES..HE MUST BE A REDNECK AMERICAN! I was referring to tyres more as a fob thing, not the aussies..
