I posted this in the regular protege thread too but, maybe you guys are smarter.

I'm trying to do a final project for an engineering class. If anyone here knows the typical pressure inside our protege's strut at fully extended and fully compressed positions, that would be tit. Thanks.

sweet project, which engineering are u in?, mechanical i assume. looking for dampening ratios or what? shouldn't be too hard to get an educated approximation of pressures, considering the volumes of both the gas and oil chambers, the viscosity of oil and density of gas (nitrogen, im assuming).

Anyone looking to get in on the 505 GB? If you want to take my place in the GB, pm me.

I did timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and wastegate. Now the boost spike within 11-12 and then stay at 10psi. I installed the forge wastegate. Is that boost safe?

 

[o0n8]

are you stock or forged bottom end?

Maybe. The MSP will be sold next year, a 2011 WRX is a strong possibility.

screw that. I'm not down with paying 40 grand for a new car..... Before I spent that kind of money I would buy a z06 C6.

 

[theEZV]

Who said anything about 40 grand?? More like 25. I will most likely be looking at something used anyway.

I used to have D2's on my old civic, they're pretty dope.

Got a set of SLS Performance front and passenger motor mounts, I got them off of someone who had a wagon, had them on eBay. I already have a front mount with leas than a thousand miles on it. Good deal so I bought them, the front will be up for sale soon. Previous owner says they have less than 8k on them

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Yeah, one of my buddies is looking to buy a brand new STI that is what I was basing my numbers off of. I mean I will be the first in line to say they are amazing but hell you could be a decent older house in my area for that much money....
