I spent a few minutes wondering the same thing. I don't understand how that would help at all. I don't know what's worse, the "sin grooves", the painting or the clutch.
Don't quote me on this, but if I recall they're part of some urban legend/whackjob's theory about creating turbulence to get a more even mixture and thorough burn.
The correct way to do an intake box in a DSM is to leave the front of the box open and pull the headlight at the track. What I'm left wondering is where the **** the MAF went... The harness is just dangling there.
maybe its running like crap because of the huge vaccume leak where the ****ING BOV IS SUPPOSED TO BE....retarded, plain and simple.
And here's a BOV he made for an Sti. The text at the beginning of the video just says "Discharge valve made by cracker competicio" The intro to the video that Fobia posted says, "This video may not be suitable for audiences of all ages" LOL
That guy probably wouldn't say if his car took a crap or not. Especially after he told the lancer forum that they were "jealous" of his car. Notice how there haven't been any new updates? Probably because that car failed monumentally at some point and they don't want to say anything about it.
It's people like that that give DSM's a bad name. They CAN be good cars, however I think the main problem is that in my experience a large portion of DSM'ers are looking for something for nothing (read: cheap as hell). They cut tons of corners and when their cars blow up they blame it on the car. Anyways, that being said.... jesus tapdancing christ. That car is the biggest hack job I've ever seen, and I'm stunned it actually ran. -Steve
Yep, that's about right. Mine's been a mostly reliable DD since I bought it, and it's not stock. The only real issues I've had have been bolts breaking when I go to do standard maintenance.
Yeah, the WRX will be there in ten years. Its a given. People will try to mod them on the cheap when their valves are already burnt to ****. Then the tranny will spit fist or second or third gear at them, and they'll say the car is the biggest piece of **** this side of the planet. My '93 Legacy has never been a joy to work on. 15 year old bolts do not cooperate, even with heat. The only way I made it reliable was by doing homework and spending the appropriate amount of cash on the appropriate parts, which is something that eludes a lot of people.
Yeah, if most people knew what I've spent to make a reliable, highly modified 15 y/old car, they'd **** themselves. Then I got T-boned.
Yep. Sounds about right. I've put more than I care to admit into keeping mine on the road, and it's still mostly stock.
