Yep. It was the odd-ball bolt pattern for Subarus until the STi in '05 came with the 5x114.3. When that happened all the SVX folks rejoiced because suddenly there were aftermarket wheels with the correct bolt pattern and offset available for the car. Before that, RX-7 wheels were really the...

Bump!

:lol: Actually, someone locally called dibs on them if I were to break up the parts like 20 minutes after I put them up for sale.

If it helps, I can probably meet you in Sacramento or thereabouts to do the deal in person. I've been down that way a lot lately, and I've got friends/family there.

Bump for signage attachment

Thanks for the heads-up guys. I haven't been on here much since I decided not to buy a MS3 a while back. I didn't realize you were having such a problem with scammers. I took most these pics today at lunch. Once I get back home from work tonight, I'll take a signage picture.

For Sale: set of 4 Enkei RPF1 wheels, Brite Silver, 17"x9" +45 5x114.3, ~16 lbs each Includes a set of nearly new (around 1000 miles on 'em) 245/40/17 Bridgestone RE-01R *and* the hard to find $150 set of RPF1 racing carbon centercaps. Fits Subaru SVX and Mazda 3/Mazdaspeed 3, as well as rear...

Can I have your mom's phone number?

I can think of two ways to pull that off: 1) Strap a rocket motor to the roof or 2) Have an MS3 that's not imaginary

Yeah.. I was this >< close to pulling the trigger on a MS3, but I just couldn't justify a new car considering I just bought a house and the economy's decision to take a nose dive. It's a lot cheaper to just keep the paid-for SVX running than to pony up for a $25k car, no matter how bad-ass they...

"Thruway racing" eh? Is that SCCA or NASA sanctioned? ...I can't seem to find the class rules anywhere on their websites. (uhm) If you really wanted to help the community out, you'd share everything you're working on, especially things that fail, since trying and failing is usually the very...

I bet if you found an '07 still new on the lot, $22k OTD would be a breeze of a deal to negotiate.

It is just a forum... but why does that reduce your moral responsibility for honesty? The people on here are real people, and they take real action based on what they read online. So if you post misinformation, you may do real damage to someone's car that they're going to have to deal with...

None of the stuff you just posted had been mentioned in this thread until now, and it's not really your statements that have me concerned. What I'm fighting against is stuff like: ...and so on... Like I mentioned before, it's the people pushing the limits that learn how go get more and...

MAP = manifold absolute pressure. The MAP sensor detects the amount of air in the intake, it's similar to a MAF (mass air flow) sensor, but is a little simpler. A MAP clamp is a hack that limits the voltage that the MAP sensor sends to the ECU. With it in place, you can crank up the boost...

When one side is saying "don't just crank up the boost without doing x,y,z" and the other side is saying "nuh uh, it's totally cool, just crank it up" I would say yes, the uninformed side should keep their mouths shut, because when people act like they know what they're talking about, but don't...

Wow dude. Way to overreact. I don't think anyone here is saying "don't mod your car". We're just saying "if you mod your car, make sure you know what you're doing, and be prepared to suffer the consequences if something goes wrong". There are a ton of people here that are new to tuning turbo...

I just figure with all the turbos I've tried, the motors I've blown up, and lessons I've learned along the way, I should be able to pass some of it along to keep others from having to go through the ten of thousands of dollars worth of pain. The problem is that there's lots of people that...

Grap on indeed! my tired?

Here's what justa4banger and I are talking about with regards to "area under the curve": On the lest is my WRX tuned with the stock TD03-13 turbo, intake, exhaust, etc. On the right is the same car a bit later on with a slowboy GT30-10 turbo, larger intercooler, and injectors. Look at the...
