A swaybar can help more evenly plant the rear tyres resulting in a reduction in wheel spin and improved traction. If set up right on a street car they can be of huge benefit.

we remove them and change the camber settings to compensate....result is the same contact patch as before but with reduced weight and improved rear squat. We have one of the best street tyred IRS 60 foots in the country to back my theory up. Its over 1.5 tonne has a little over 400kw and 60's in the high 1.4's.

widebody, i also use HKS Hyperdampers...but not the "drag spec" ones...they take a bit of testing to get them right but once you do the car hooks up well.

just a thought but in the one of chance of the car breaking something, driving through oil etc and the car gets sideways it will be harder to control as it will body roll like a champion. after seeing a few guys cars crash at the track i have seen a lot of guys put them back on. for the sake of 5 kilos or so, i will just go on a diet.

Some of the fastest street car racers in the world run 6 second quarter miles at over 200mph in purpose built race cars and still use swaybars. They 60 in the low to mid 1.0's and get out of shape less often.

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
