    Varex Muffler

    New corvette z06 has it based on throttle position, its vacuum operated. It would be cool(er) to have it opened by boost pressure, with a VSV to turn it on and off. so when its on its only open under boost, and when off it never opens.

    A funny new Dyno Idea

    well area under the curve in a drag race isnt that important as long as the gear changes stay within the powerband. a typical gear change wont take you from 6500 to 2500rpm, so a flat 500ftlb torque curve isnt really necessary to have the fastest/quickest car. In a drag race you want as...

    My wheels don't fit Club!

    are they running stretched tires to fit the tire? or to fit the rim? i dont understand because people are running the same tires on narrower wheels without stretching and fitting fine. case in point ARob's friend with the 240sx, 215's on a 9.5 inch wheel. Those 215's would fit on a 6-7 inch...

    Nice cryo treating info... MDC, check it!

    6 to 140 pulls is quite the leap in durability. I dont understand how they say the exhaust housing is the foundation of the turbo though. i would think the center section is the foundation being its what contains all the moving parts.

    HMMMM... Which coilovers???

    Ive herd good things about the megans and i plan on getting them when the time comes. Camber plates dont exist for the MK3 because they have double wishbone suspension, the coilover only holds the vehicle up, it plays no part in suspension geometry.

    My wheels don't fit Club!

    Werd, theres no practical or theoretically positive reason you would do this besides "JDM tyte-ness" A Little stretch i could see maybe helping agility because sidewall flex could be reduced but either way its a waste of money to buy a 10 inch wide wheel to run stock size tires.
