i love the people that go on about Reps being deadly...

If half the national comp level drifters can use them and hit ripple strips sideways at 200kph without issues, somehow I doubt some phaggot in a VW doing 3kph to get up a wooden plank into shallow driveway to go to a circlejerk hardpark meet has anything to worry about

I dunno, examples of drift cars with limited use with shock loading can't really be compared against long term use with multiple heat cycles.

Cheaper wheels & metals would fail due to heat cycling & cracks propagating.

Drifters would probably use multiple sets per season & wouldn't clock up near the amount of km's a daily drive would do...

My drifteks have had a very hard life so far, road and track. No issues as yet...

The missus Audi rims are shite though, leaking from the factory and cracking badly through the lip from careful road driving. I have also cracked oem 350z rims, and seen a few others cracked also.

Send someone a vector graphic

"Do you have a better option for the diagram. We are putting it in our flyer and the resolution is quite poor."

Send proof of resolution being adequate by zooming in on the vector and screenshotting it.

"That's much better, I'll use that instead" - referring to using my screenshot jpeg

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
