Time trials aren't standing starts. More importantly, you can't rev match an auto. Try downshifting your auto while braking into a corner without going off the track, or cliff. LOL

Swapped my auto awd to manual. Saved a ton of weight.

How come people don't drive their cars during the winter?

How do I make the horn louder?

Does anyone have any first hand or second hand (third hand and up and BS talkers need not apply) experience doing this? How did it go, what was involved, thanks.

How to remove quarter panel glass?

Read my post again. I was talking about WIDTH not DIAMETER. And it's involves not envolves, affect not effect.

So you give me negative points because you have a poor grasp of english grammar? My point was with enough horsepower large wheels are not a significant detriment. My point had nothing to do with why there are large wheels to begin with, be it for looks or brakes or anything else.

Your points are correct except for less longitudinal grip, which was what I was referring to earlier. In fact the larger wheel will likely give a wider footprint increasing grip.

No, because you're taking into account more than just amount of grip. Re-read what I wrote.

Don't listen to him. 400 whp is more than enough to spin 19". High end sports cars come with 19" all around.As for traction sidewall has nothing to do with it. Shorter sidewall simply has shorter limit threshold, giving the impression of less traction. Two tires with the same...

Stock boost on 2g is 14.5 psi.With only exhaust and BOV, the boost will spike to 20 psi and peak at 16 psi on the stock BCS.

A drift car is a car built to drift car specs. This could vary from place to place, but the basics are:Must install 6 points or better roll cage The window on both driver's & passenger sides must be closed position 4 points or better seat belt must be installed Tow Hook needs to be...

As long as the pressure in the engine bay does not exceed the pressure at the windshield base.

Do you have a pic of where exactly to lube?

Cars set up for cowl induction will actually induct air. Our cars, however, are not set up like that. Our cars are like the PT Cruisers, we will expel air. We do not have engine bay side exhaust vents and sealed cowls, our engine bays build positive pressure. Post 69 in the thread you...

At freeway speeds and up, there is a low pressure zone across the top of the hood. In fact, there is a low pressure zone across the entire top of the car. Cutting holes in the hood will allow the pressure above and below to equalize. This has 2 benefits:1) Hot air will be extracted out of...

Cowl induction forces air out, not in.As the air passes over the opening, it creates a vacuum of cold air over the windshield. This allows the hot air from inside the engine compartment to escape letting the engine breathe cooler air and therefore running stronger and longer.Cowl...

Are you using 20W-50 motor oil?

Lowering increases the roll couple which is why the car will handle worse. 2G's also have very little front suspension travel so you will be bottoming out.

Is it me or is the steering wheel not lined up with the driver's seat?

You have to do several continuously, until the shaking goes away. Rotors are a big piece of iron, they don't warp. What you have is uneven build up of pad deposits.

Do several hard brakes (without coming to a complete stop) and your "warped rotors" will go away.

Technically the 2g has "struts", they're just not "macpherson struts".

That offset fits fine, the bolt pattern doesn't though.

Ok I've now done several oil changes with Pennzoil Synchromesh on a few different cars and the result is always the same, the oil comes out so thin it's like Diet Water. Even after only 5k miles and mixed with thicker oils.

Probably the throw out bearing. Don't know if there are other ill effects besides the noise either.

No amount of suspension mods can overcome bad tires. This is not worth arguing as anyone that has raced knows this.

Hi,The difference you are feeling is the tires. The Evo comes with max performance summer tires whereas your Eclipse comes with min performance all season tires. Suspension wise the Eclipse has multi-link front and rear which is superior to the Evo. Tires make the single biggest...

Let's calm down and use a simpler example. It's midnight, you are the only car on the road, the posted limit is 35 in a commercial zone. Is it irresponsible for you to be going faster than 35 or does the law assume before proven guilty that you will crash into someone by exceeding 35?

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. Just because you are DUI does not mean you will crash into somebody.

I rather have the dealer put in a motor than some random shop.

Yea I weighed it myself. My scale may not be that accurate, but it shouldn't be off by more than 1 lb or so.

Get these, they are pretty light.http://www.evolutionm.net/forums/showthread.php?t=196888

My 57F (17x8.5, +40) weigh 13.9 lbs.

Most aftermarket calipers are aluminum which even though much bigger, weigh about half as much as stock steelies.

Syncroshift is not 80W-90, not even close.

If people are pushing 400-500 hp on stock diff and axles, wouldn't it be able to handle 200 hp rwd?

Synchromesh is not GL-4. And if you look at the viscocity it's about half of what's recommended by the manufacturer.

After the car/brakes are warmed up, it clicks any time the steering wheel is turned to the right and the wheel is rolling. It does not click if the wheel is not rolling.Sounds like bad CV joint but it only happens after I've been driving for a while (brakes/engine warm) and I've already...

The front left wheel makes a clicking sound when I'm turning right. But it only does this after the car has completely warmed up after driving. And I've already replaced the front axles but it still does the same thing. Any idea what it is?

Does the T28 require higher oil pressure than the T25?

EP additives is what eats synchros. But Synchromesh contains none at all, it is a lower grade than GL-4. So adding *some* of that can be helpful.

I tried the energy suspension inserts, didn't feel much difference. Then I tried the windo weld urethane, still didn't feel much difference. I gonna try your method next with my mig welder. You are the man. :thumb:
