First day at work on Monday and caught the train then since yesterday have been driving.... will avoid PT as much as possible. It's funny seeing work colleagues rush out to try and catch the next train as soon as the elevator door opens up.

nice you found a new job? was it you in the IT field as well? :P 

not commenting about price..
 
but a "420hp" manual AWD volvo...damn what a sleeper.

Yeah would be fun. I'm not familiar with the AWD system in them, assuming mostly FWD.
Looks so pedestrian though. Later volvos look much nicer

Pfffft no one can stop the gtst

 

Got a quote on my dream exhaust tips. I didn't even think exhaust tips could cost that much. Damn VIP tax. My heart and efame says yes, my being a relatively responsible adult says no.

:(

What about a golf GTI with a p plate on it and STANCE?


If I got a golf r and took the R badges off would that count? I couldn't do the stanced thing, I value my guards/guard liners and not looking like a complete tool too much.
Plenty can stop the GTST
It's keeping up that people seem to struggle with...


How does your gtst get off the line? Mine never did get off the line well, turbo spooled and wheel spin followed all the way to 80-100.

Once you hooked up in third it hauled ass. #almost400club

Even a 200kw gtst walked a few car lengths away from me from a launch. Wasn't until I could get 3rd-4th that I could destroy any hope they had.

With WOT it spins 1st unless a grippy surface or a decline to it and the tyres are warm. Still moves along though thanks to KAAZ. 2nd always holds unless it's damp. I don't bother off the line if there's any sort of incline as I can't get enough traction. Not the greatest cars to launch IMO, but NPC carbotic happily takes a beating with slippage to spool the turbo and I've probably done 1000+ launches in the car, so confident I can get the best out of it. My power is nearing the sensible limit for these cars at <100km/h speeds without wearing MT streets or some sort of drag setup IMO. Any more and you start to shift the useable power into higher gears/speeds as you described.

Much prefer rolling drags - not just to take launch skill out of the equation, but my small turbo's E85 midrange is long and lethal. Pulls hard from 70-150 in 3rd - if I can hang with someone until that gear I will usually pull away.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • 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?
