He had a BSB 34?

I thought this was his VS2, pictured here with his S15

Cars were stored at AE Performance, from whence Paul and Rogas were leaving at the time of the crash.

Rodas is CEO of AE, pretty sure Walker had a stake in the place too.

Some more info on Roger Rodas (http://www.autoweek.com/article/20131201/CARNEWS/131209999)

Sadly Rodas leaves behind a wife and two kids, Walker too has a single 15 year old daughter

I remember going to see the first Fast and Furious movie at the cinemas as a teenager in 2001, thinking I wonder how blasphemous and unrealistic hollywood and its actors can portray the import scene (by this age I was already a huge GTR nut :I ). Paul proved me wrong. RIP mate. The first movie left a lasting impression :)

why is that porsche's always burst into flames when they crash

+1. Ryan Dunn (Jackass movie actor) also killed in 2011 in a GT3 - burst into flames.

I think Lambo's and Fezza's have the same tendency.

quote from the news

Meanwhile, preliminary investigations have revealed that mechanical failure could have led to the crash that killed Walker and another man.

The likely cause of the failure that triggered the crash has been identified as a powering steering fluid leak.

Tmz said that witnesses saw loss of traction in a straight line and what seemed to be loss of steering that couldn't be corrected....something Rodas would not let happen if it wasn't a mechanical failure.

The thing couldn't be steered.

Fluid was seen all the way from the point of loss of control to point of impact.

Tragic.

I'm Shattered.

"Walker and another man"? A bit disrespectful to the other victim. Both bled the same colour blood yet only one was shown the courtesy and respect of being named.

Just because Paul was famous he got the main story... I looked up to Paul. Sad to see him gone. But Rodgers family lost a father, son, husband, grandchild and yet no one care... Makes me sad

R.I.P Paul Walker - Rodger Rodas

:( Thats not cool at all ^^ Horrible to think he could have been saved

For me, for sure the saddest celebrity death I can remember. Watching that 'Mines' video sums it up for me. He seemed like he was just a regular car loving guy, that just so happened to get into movies, and never really changed. Def taken way to early

R.I.P Paul Walker

I'm still in shock. It's taken a while for it all to sink in for me. If it wasn't for this man and the entire F&F series i'd still be driving around in a bunky commodore laying single peggers everywhere.

The JDM scene and car enthusiasts everywhere have lost a true icon. My condolences go out to his and Roger Rodas' Family and Friends.

RIP The Both Of You.

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
