Engineering food for thought (4wd and Supercharged content)
junkie replied to boost monkey's topic in Engine Bay
And I don't think it's true, either. Anyone who designs a 4wd system where the wheels don't turn at the same speed wants to lose their job pretty sharpish. You'd chew tyres in no time, the car would buck and twitch while the transmission flexed .. The idea is that the front is pulling slightly, otherwise the back could potentially try to overtake. Besides, even on a system that is perfectly balanced, new tyres at one end and old ones at the other are going to create this sort of effect. On a road car that is capable of 150 mph the difference in gearing is going to be tiny to stop windup in the transmission. Regarding the tyres, maybe thats why ppl say replace all at the same time. -
Is there a difference in the calipers?, thought it was just the disc size 305mm Ibiza 312mm Leon. It dont matter about not spacing the rear wheels also.

Thats the guy i was thinking of Darren 8)

Now some might see this as pointless as its already forced in supercharged but as their is other ways to force the engine thought it may make a good place to ask some questions. Then we get the full set stickied 8v,16v and VR :)

Pipewerx in Wigan, Ian Birch owns and makes the systems, he did mine when he worked at Blueflame also in Wigan, he uses their boxes on the custom exhausts i think as well, had mine over 2 years and not a single prob since it was custom made.

If the dipped beam becomes brighter than the main beam then is it ok to drive around on the main beam if we dont have the uprated loom on. Tried this recently and on dark country lanes and guess what not 1 flash from any1, not sure if they were blinding ppl or not lol

Not heard that 1 before. Interesting. Is this a good thing for drivability regarding oversteer/understeer? -
Has anybody tried the 28mm rear bar? Most likely cheesy can answer this :) How is it going to affect the ride with the 25mm front?

Whats a ball park figure to get an engine bored out?

:new-bday: :multi: :multi: :multi: -
Suppose your like me in that you like the look otf the 90mm instead of the 50. To be honest i think the 50mm will suit yours more with lowering, some cars actually suit the shorter 1 and maybe yours is it. -40mm on the splitter and then -40 on the shocks, sorted :D
-
Ha ha ha ah ah i feel soooo priviledged now. You know it makes the looks different, but you dont need my opinion im sure. Was it the fear that it was going to get stolen sometime soon :) that made it get taken off. Now all you need to do is burn the thing :lol: Liking the centre caps but you need to go lower i think IMHO.

You can legally undertake if the traffic is moving slower than the speed limit in the lane to your right. -
