and got this:
05 honda pilot, 70k miles, straight-piped, 5000lb hitch, and trailer brake controller. Thing does great in the snow, had her buried above the bumpers and slowly but surely kept crawling.
Planning on racing in the 2014 season, not sure what discipline yet, but this is to tow a racecar.
I've seen it before, but I've also seen Geo Metros on 35s. You can put any car on anything as long as you do enough work to it, but that doesn't mean it's going to get the job done.
sounds cool, better than my volvo 240 thats got one flowmaster 40 series muffler right at the end with no resonator or anything that sounds nice with lots of pops. but this reminds me of a 60+ year old with a chrysler minivan with a shotgun like tip exhuast that has maybe one muffler and its hilarious hearing it being revved in their driveway down the road.
Just picked up a new DD, feels good to be mobile once again (and I'm sure my roommates are stoked I wont be bumming rides 24/7 anymore).
Its a 2001 Jetta 1.8t with 130k miles in indigo blue. I'm not totally psyched on the color.. but it drives ok and I got a pretty good deal so w/e. Its nice to be behind the wheel of a vw again after I had to sell my 2001 wolfy a little over a year ago. Unfortunately the college lifestyle/finances won't allow for me to put much work into it until summer.. but I'm hoping to chip it, lower it, and possibly plasti-dip it when the time comes.
yea the only thing i can stand driving with a stock exhaust is my moms tundra with a nice v8 or my dads a4 2.0T which is nice. my 240 just sounded good on the way home from skiing besides the start up which when cold sounds like crap but warm start ups sound sweet, need a resonator for a deeper note
alright here we go. what the fuck do you guys consider "stages" out there? yes you bought cobb's etune but what makes you guys call things different stages? just post parts for fucks sake.
Saying "stage x" is just to sound cool. It was invented for people that don't know shit about the technical components.
"stage 2 turbo" this means absolutely nothing to anyone who knows what they are talking about. This is gibberish
This is actual factual
For example:
For a 62/65/12 turbo
62 is compressor wheel size (compressor wheel makes the boost by compressing intake air)
65 is the turbine wheel size (turbine wheel is spun by the exhaust backpressure)
12 (cm²) is the housing, often they are .70, or .80 if its a 14cm². These decimal numbers are the A/R or air ratio of the exhaust housing.
finally someone understands. i try telling my friend that putting an exhaust and intake doesn't make your car anything but a car with an exhaust and an intake + a stage 1 map from cobb haha.
A true three feet of snow is more than most vehicles can handle. My truck starts dragging in over 1.5 feet. It can do 2 but its hard.
You need a few things to handle deep snow.
A. Ground clearance
B. Enough weight to sink to the bottom
C. Traction
D. OR YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SOMETHING IN FRONT OF YOU CLEARING SNOW TO THE AVAILABLE GROUND CLEARANCE ie. plow
Doesnt matter how good your tires are if you don't have the ground clearance. You will get hung up. This goes both ways. You could have all the ground clearance in the world but without traction it won't work.
