or the F40.... IN THE 80's!

But that was cool, cause the outer 2 were from the turbo's, and the middle one was from the wastegate.

Don't think that PM35 has a wastegate :rolleyes:

Except that the 458 isn't turbo... stupid nostalgia trip!

its strange that most car companies are now producing a retro model of some description. Some work out OK I reckon, but some are just dogs.

If Ferrari wanted to put 3 exhausts on the 458, they should have put turbos and a wastegate on it!:whistling:

I wonder if when F1 goes back to Turbo's in 2013, companies hero cars will then become turbo again- like the 80's?

Funny how Ferrari get away with it when they put them on a 458 Italia...

Difference is;

1. Ferrari 458 is beautiful (and I'm a Lamborghini guy!)... although I don't really like the rear lights

2. The exhaust is in the middle of the 458

3. It has a specially designed rear bumper designed to "work with" the 3 tipped exhaust

4. Not styled similarly to a Volvo :P

Now that triple zorst tip looks HOT...

Too bad they catch on fire easily though...:teehee:

on the topic of tires. which im not very good at calculating as I have No f**kin idea on how the calculations work.

if on the stock 18" ARX wheels i have 245/50R18's which is the standard rolling diameter for the ARX, and I wanted to go to 19" x 8.5 - pretty much same as Bbenny's wheel, what tire size would I need??

I want to stretch the tires a little to.

i tried searching a calculater, but i dont even know where to start!

I like this one: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

or this one:

http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Damn the standard ARX tyre size is 245/50?

If you going 19's in 8.5 I reckon 245/35 or 40

If your gonna stretch it a little go 225....lol

My uncles givin me a free set of the below..

235/35-19

same brand i got for scott I cant remember.. lol is that ok?

nup you should be 245/45-19

oh...and stock spec's

well thats probably why mine always looks like baloons lol

Bluestreaks?

If they're good enuff for Scott...then they should be ok...maybe...

looks like 234 45 or 245 45 as craig said.. the ARX has different rolling diameters to yours.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
