While driving home from the Detailing place today in a friends WRX, we had this clown come up beside's us, reving his engine, droping back a gear, then flooring it to roughly about 120kph.....when we turned off onto the Tulla Fwy, we noticed this.....

And i thought that space savers had a max speed of 80 and weren't a good idea on the front wheels :whistling:

Nah they are good to about 140 if you dont turn any bends...

Did any of you guys see that email of the f40 that was driven with a space saver and then hit a truck doing like 200+. You could see half his guts hanging out and a leg was missing and he got thrown from the car.

THe story was he got in a drag with a space saver on the front lost control and had a head on with a truck!!!!!!

Space saver on the rear - it does 100 (freeway) - 110 (oops - freeway) no problem. It doesn't like corners much. And I had to keep attesa disabled.

I guess on the front, it would be simpler (in a straight line) - no uneven torque distribution. I still wouldn't go hard at all though. too unbalanced.

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
