    modified exhausts question

    haha, i just put on a muffler/exhaust system on a sport bike to make it sound AWESOME. no other engine will get you that close to f1 performance and technology for that cheap. its almost a crime to not let everyone hear it!

    modified exhausts question

    thanks, here's what i came up with from that link (3) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle in a manner which will amplify or increase the noise emitted by the engine of such vehicle above that emitted by the muffler originally installed on the vehicle, and it shall be...

    powersteering or no power steering

    i just read my thread and i pretty much name all performance cars. haha, oh well, i like just about everything, but i dont understand why car manufactures make cars so HEAVY. i wish they would all offer a bare bones model. not only would it be cheaper, but it would have higher performance...

    powersteering or no power steering

    my reasoning for my mkIII... I love the way the car sits, and how it looks. I was, and still am on a budget, and i got my car for a smokin deal. I was looking at first gen eclipses, 240sx's, rx7's, and camaros/firebirds, but i really wanted a supra because of their power potential, and i...

    powersteering or no power steering

    i would love to own an evo rs one day. this is how i see it, if it isn't there, it can't break. i hate electric throttles, and mercedes benz now makes there steering that doesn't even steer the car, its all electronic. all that electronic wizardry adds weight, which is the worst think you can...

    powersteering or no power steering

    modified exhausts question

    I recently went on an Evo cruise up Mt St Helens, and while eating dinner i had an interesting talk about exhausts. We started talking about this because i was complaining that sport bikes always get pulled over for having loud exhausts, but harleys never get tickets for exhaust, no matter how...

    powersteering or no power steering

    i took out my power steering when i did my big single build cause i never got around to relocateing my resivoiur. its not too bad, but i think ill be putting it back in soon. i just hate running hydrolic hose everywhere. ss braided lines would be nice, but they are expensive.

    RE: Cheap Proformance

    if you're looking to mod your car, why not do an exhaust that is big enough to flow for whatever set-up you want to have some day.

    Best LSD/Diff combo with 2JZGTE setup...

    it really depends on your set-up. stock turbo go with a lower ratio cause you'll have available low end. with a larger turbo, maybe you should consider a higher ratio to be able to reach upper revs easier. its nice to be able to boost in 4th rather than shifting to 3rd on the freeway.

    simple question about turbo efficieny and power

    I was sitting in Stats today (class) and I was very bored. I let my mind wander and I started thinking about cams and turbo efficiency. here's what i was thinking.... IF... i put on larger cams that allow the engine to ingest more air at a given rpm AND throttle input, the turbo is going to...

    BL 6spd car 8.75 and 8.89 runs

    that car would be terrible at pinks all out. its extremely difficult to run those huge turbo 6spds to consistent times. pinks all out is all about running very consistent times
