Dumb Question Thread!

oh, then :/ do you have cheap/stretched tyres? I had a porsche try and late brake pass me at hampton downs causing me to smash the brakes as hard as I could from 200kph and no lockup with ABS, just a shuddering feeling as the ABS did its thing. The only time ive locked up as such was sliding around in a carpark in the snow, ABS and snow dont mix well :/ Unless your ABS sensor is bung?

ABS can be fooled... if you lockup all 4 wheels hard and at the same time, it will think you are stationary... you\'d need a really low grip situation to have that happen though. In normal situations, you will get momentary lockups... but not a hard lockup... what happened

to you exactly evowrx?

Mid range tyres but has happened on T1R\'s also and 215 on an 8 doesnt even look stretched. Same goes for work hilux - I just thought that ABS was meant to be idiot proof as far as dry roads go.

Loren - pretty much dumb b*tch pulled out in front of me and I had nowhere to go so punched the brake pedal and it locked up. Thankfully skidded to a stop right behind her as she started to drive off so didnt connect. Dry road and 50kph in town.

Big front brakes wouldnt do it would they? I dont know how it all works.

What is a brake pipe? apparently it is unsecured.

According to my wof, and is estimated $45 to repair.. ???

Must be referring to one of the Hard Lines, or a Main Brake Lines, at one of the Wheels/Callipers?

All Brake Lines normally bolt to a Strut or Calliper etc.

Can you use a p1 intake mani on a p2 block?

Say a complete v5/6 motor and heads?

Phase 1 and Phase 2 Heads/Manifolds aren\'t interchangeable. Look at the Gasket shape to see the difference in Bolting Patterns.

I thought all Subaru\'s were 5x100 untill this morning where I came across a page that states the STI 05 and newer is now 5x114.3??

And then to add confusion to it all, apparently the JDM ones retained the 5x100 while the international USDM/NZDM etc (2.5L) STI\'s got 5x114.3?

Which is it? ???

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
