yeah some people definitely should not have a license though like my younger sister is on her L's doesn't want a license but is being pressured by my parents. She has no confidence on the road and if something was to happen she would not be able to react. she will most likely get my her license because she can do the fundamentals but i would not trust her, a bit like the 18 year old that T boned me this morning on my motorbike. Said the sun was in her eyes, thanks a lot, i;m on the ground screaming in pain and all she could do was cry.

teenagers by % die at a larger rate than they should.

Perhaps i should have been a little more clear.

sorry.

Sucks when others do the wrong thing. Next time treat them all as total idiots who cant drive.. It might save you from being hit again. Give yourself more room and double check that they are doing what they should or what they are indicating to do!

"the death toll is terrible... 15 deaths since 1997".... more people have been killed eating BROCOLLI since 1997.

I think that given more places where it is sanctioned, is going to drastically reduce the amount of on-street stupidity. But its great to talk about it and propose ideas, its up to someone or a group to ante up with some adequate fundin and open an area for it. Im sure sponsorship for a venue wouldnt be difficult.

Something like what Black Duck is for motorbikes, but for cars. Plus, it would create a lot of employment.

You go there, its open from 6.30pm til midnightor 2am or something, pay ur entry. Its like a car show, everynight. Drags, track, burnout. They could sell ex-wrecking yard tyres even. Make a mint off oil and coolant and hose clamps and race tape.

Yes!! and then the dream began and they spoke about how to make it into reality. "I have a dream, that one day little white suzuki swifts will race alongside big black GTR's". "And there will be peace on the streets, no more will the police brutalise us and defect us for non RDA approved cup holders". I have a dream"!!!

      Airbox for +T

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?

      I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer

      Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
