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.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
