While driving home from the Detailing place today in a friends WRX, we had this clown come up beside's us, reving his engine, droping back a gear, then flooring it to roughly about 120kph.....when we turned off onto the Tulla Fwy, we noticed this.....

And i thought that space savers had a max speed of 80 and weren't a good idea on the front wheels :whistling:

Nah they are good to about 140 if you dont turn any bends...

Did any of you guys see that email of the f40 that was driven with a space saver and then hit a truck doing like 200+. You could see half his guts hanging out and a leg was missing and he got thrown from the car.

THe story was he got in a drag with a space saver on the front lost control and had a head on with a truck!!!!!!

Space saver on the rear - it does 100 (freeway) - 110 (oops - freeway) no problem. It doesn't like corners much. And I had to keep attesa disabled.

I guess on the front, it would be simpler (in a straight line) - no uneven torque distribution. I still wouldn't go hard at all though. too unbalanced.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
