Baby Hitler posted:edit: oh okay I guess the 350Z is returnless stock, changing to a return system is much better. Depends on how much extra padding is left in the system. If the 350Z's has plenty of extra grunt to spare, then it might not be worth the time to convert. On SVT Focuses the stock pump and returnless system would start being erratic by 40 lbs/min, which will only give you around 250whp. Past that everybody upgrades to returned.

It's way more worth your money to sell it stock and buying a better car. Unless you think you're gonna keep the car a long time, just grit your teeth and save your money.

Nice. Is that the stock GT hood? My Neon ACR that I'm selling:  Click here for the full 1024x768 image. If you think that wheel gap is bad, you shoulda seen it with the 14" stock wheels. I like everything about the car except the terrible terrible interior design. Colors, fonts, layout, you name it, Dodge did not get it right.

TurboLuvah posted:What was the ACR package? Wasn't there an ACR Viper too? The stiffest suspension with adjustable struts and camber, stronger hubs, higher final ratio, different front fascia with no fog lights (so maybe you could duct and cool your brakes?). e: forgot different swaybars, quicker steering ration, and the originals came without AC or radio. There's a new ACR Viper, but I thought there was also an older ACR package as well. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Apr 29, 2009 |

ronaldrape posted:The tire was fine with no bulging or anything. Anyone have any input on refurbished OEM wheels? The rim looked fine and its saving me quite a bit. Different people will tell you different things. I've taken my aluminum winter wheels to this place to have serious (much worse than what you had) bends repaired: http://rimandwheelworks.com/straighten.html I don't really like the owners there, but the setup they have is very good. Note that they claim they can repair even magnesium wheels, which I find hard to believe. It was $100 a wheel for me and the balance with them now is fine. e: I don't believe it'll ever be as good or as strong as before, but I don't expect the wheel to spontaneously crack and destroy itself from normal driving over the rough roads of Boston. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Feb 18, 2010 |

destructo posted:Why the gently caress do these tests never use the same tires on every car? It's always the stock tires that ship with the car, right? It makes sense to some degree, that if you make a performance car, you're picking a tire to go along with it, and the car can be reviewed as such.

destructo posted:The only reason I can think of that makes this difficult is the variety in tire size/rim width that might make finding one tire to fit all the models tested. Maybe I'm being stupid here, but I'd much rather see the differences in the cars, not some arbitrary wear item. I'd wager 50+% of enthusiasts buying performance cars run down their stock tires before getting new ones. If that's the case, then the tests done with stock tires do reflect those cars' performance for the first year or more of ownership.

There's a way to hook up the hoses to it spoof a good signal, and that's what some people do. I guess another way is to tune it out of the equation.
