O/T: Miguel, do you have portuguese antcessors ?

Howcome you speak portuguese?

Best regards

PS: I'm sorry if this is getting too personal

[86Pilot]

It IS getting too personal... But I wanna know too!

Howcome you are a speaker of that great language?

[Miguel - Newera]

LOL, my dad's Portuguese! Although I grew up in the UK mostly, my parents always insisted we spoke Portuguese at home. And you Portuguese guys will know, Spanish is very easy to learn! It's like a slow Portuguese with a lisp :wink:

Now I know who I'm going to bother when I put mind into travelling to Japan!!

Why pay your mortgage when you can spend the money on an old car - THAT IS defenately a portuguese mind working! I'm sure it was your portuguese vein that made you go berzerk on your project! Ahahahahah

It would be awesome to get to know you!

Any travel plans to Portugal?

Best regards

[Miguel - Newera]

LOL, I'd better run and hide!

Well, er I did pay the mortgage off....





.....after we'd sold the house!

Last time we were in Portugal was Christmas 2006. No plans to got back just yet. We will sometime - though unlikely this year... By the time I do, your AE86 should be finished too

Make sure you ring when you come back here, would be a pleasure for us to receive you and meet with the Hachi Portuguese community

BTW, I have sent you a PM almost a year ago, that never got answered

Cheers

[Miguel - Newera]

Sorry buddy - I come on here sporadically, depending on work, etc. Sometimes you'll see me on here, other times I may be away for months at a time

I'd spoken with someone about meeting up in Portugal last time, I think there was a track day at Estoril, but our trip was during Xmas and New Year and you know what that's like, that time of the year in Portugal... Didn't have much free time in the end, unfortunately.

Well Miguel I guess we have to hit the roads again soon!

Anymore WOT runs up to Nikko? Too bad our speedos only go up to 180km/h I wonder what is the real speeds we hit on those early moreing runs to the circuits.

Maybe we all should have a AE86 meet in August.

Who else is coming to visit us in Japan?

[Miguel - Newera]

I run an Apexi RSM and it was set up using gear calculations. When I tested it during the last Shaken for the 40 km/h test, it was reading 100% accurate! I think my gearing tops out at around 235 ish...@ 9,000 rpm.

But I've not taken it much beyond 220 - 225 km/h...

Let's make that video we've been chatting about - when your friend comes over from Aus in a few weeks. He'll cream his pants....

[Miguel - Newera]

Allen, forgot to mention when we spoke - Dai Chan's 20V conversion's running at last, btw... He's going to be getting rid of the idle stabiliser once he sets up the ITB's steady - fitting an electric fan and a new manifold, then Katagiri San will be mapping the Freedom ECU. He's getting excited - You should see the smile on his face! :wink:
