What have you done to your car today?

[Guest keltik]

I went for a drive and had fun hitting vtec everywhere. Nothing beats vtecing past people out on the open road. At one point i hit vtec so hard everything went blurry and i think my vtec warped space time.

I pity the fools with turbos because they dont know the joys of real boosting

[Guest keltik]

Its only funny untill the word filter gets changed back...then it will become ludicrously inaccurate

[familyman]

Did Vishnu reset. Clutch wasn't too happy but he will get over it. Didn't realize how much I missed throttle response.

And cleaned up the kids mess in backseat.

[gazzy2000]

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

yep noticed a huge downgrade in handling going to rwd, so expecting it to all come back...

[Guest boostin]

I insured the twin turbo do-up today. Book value of $4500 according to AMI. I paid $900 for it!! ;D

[wrxguy]

Pulled apart front/rear door trims to run new rca leads for boot amp. Found 1/2 inch drive 12 mm socket that wasnt mine, is now, Score. Run leads, put all trim back together, head unit in properly and all plastic bits back on. Turned on stereo ... only to find I must have run the rca cords over or beside power wire cos now she has a whistle that goes up and down with the revs of the car.... stuff it, it can wait till i get the urge to pull it aprt again! just means I have to run it with out the back 6x9's goin.,...

[Guest keltik]

Worked on Frumpytowns car today. Put a wee red filter on my head breather too. Extra 40kw right there.

[Shale]

Added an aftermarket muffler to my Legacy wagon (well... the boys did anyway ;D). Then proceeded to destroy something in the coolant system. Bugger Ya just can't win.

downgrade? is that because traction is a big issue? im contemplating the conversion purely for the skids but wouldnt of thought it was much of a downgrade?

i by no means think that you can push the chassis as hard as you could 4wd as ive been in my mates one and no for sure you cant just bury your foot mid corner

[jacsmiley]

oh yesterday

put some pads up front (old half worn ones till today as current pads were sooo close to metal on metal!) traced the reason my subs werent working (dam fuse that looked pefectly fine. multimeter says no!)

so today

buy new fuse

buy new pads

get covered in brake dust. realise that i now have hand marks in the brake dust on my mags (slotted rotors = constant brake dust) provoking me to wash the car while listening to the doof doof!! ;D

oooh oooh motul RBF600 anyone? dam need to find a mate who isnt working to give me a hand with that!!

That purely depends on how fast you're going and how hard you're cornering

You're gonna have better traction with 4wd. If you can handle giving it up for some phat-az-skidz, then go for it

4wd only helps with powering out of corners afaik anyway, so on the highway, not too much of an issue, just don't floor it coming out of a corner.

[dubbedup]

what about coming on boost in the wet at 100k and the car starts crabbing sideways....

I can hardly get out my driveway on a dewy morning, cant go fast at all round corners, unless you want to be lock to lock, but then i never had enough lock say compared to a skyline and round it goes....

pretty much i could only use about half the power i have, seems a waste of time in a daily driver...but will defeinalty be converting my legacy to rwd, for those fun skid days.

[familyman]

Cleaned wheels, cleaned interior and just generally loved it. So much lovin that I have taken her off the market!!

[B4 2000]
