Too bad he lost to a MotoX bike rider driving this Subaru :

McRae rolled the car in the final round, giving gold to MotoX bike rider Travis Pastrana.

Imagine that - a MotoX Bike Rider beats the one of the best rally drivers in the world at their own game. The yanks must now think "LOL OUR BIKE RIDER CAN BEAT SOME WRC GUY SO WRC SUCKS MAN" :whistling:

Los Angeles -- Less than 24 hours after making freestyle moto history with a double backflip, Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom won the debut X Games Rally Car Racing event. But rally legend Colin McCrae did his best to steal Pastrana's thunder on the final turn of the final at The Home Depot Center.

McCrae, who entered Saturday's "Super Special" ahead of Pastrana by 0.5 seconds overall, appeared to be headed for the gold as he re-entered the stadium for the final push to the finish line. That's when the car got loose on McCrae and co-driver Nicky Grist and rolled over. True to his reputation as a rally car racing legend, McCrae didn't miss a beat, kept his foot on the pedal, and when the car landed back on its tires gunned to a silver medal finish -- missing gold by just 0.52 seconds.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.

      Out of curiosity, how do officials determine what the OEM ride height and suspension specs are? Do they have a book of truth? I'd think that would be quite obscure knowledge for random JDM cars.

      This is the check list they sign off on. This implies that adjustable coilovers of the type we're referring to are not a "Variable Ride Height" system. This very much is in the ethos of "I can change the height while moving/while parked without pulling wheels off the car and mechanically doing so"

      Just an update  ... Put the cat back on no issues with the car running wise ... maybe alittle longer to spoil up the turbo. Still running rich but waiting for my tuner to come back into town to retify the situation. WOT runs fine with the cat.
