reminds me of the FNF, where they dude in the skyline is listening to a scanner and waiting for cops to be busy with real crims before starting the races???

only ass backwards here, the real crims wait and listen to the scanners for the cops to be busy with Defecting Skylines and other imports before they do real crimes agaist people and property!!! ....lol

GO FIGURE!!

My understanding is that if a car has a defect you are breaking the law...

im with you on that one, but...

what if your car gets defected for something that isnt defectable or even there? are you still breaking the law? :D

The other week I had a cop thought my cable for the subwoofer remote was a boost controller cable - the cable connection on the subwoofer end broke so I remove the controller out and left the cable there - it looks similar to an ethernet cable - pretty sure no boost controller uses an ethernet-like cable - argued about it for about a minute - received no defects.

I was once questioned thoroughly at an RBT about the cable for my GPS (which was not in the car at the time).

The cop noticed the mount and cable and was almost certain it was a piggy back ecu or boost controller.

After I showed him the (power) cable ran to the cigarette lighter he didn't push it further.

:D

    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information 
    • What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs.... 
    • I’d go the smaller rear just because you’re staying on 98, if e85 I’d go the bigger one
