Default Stage 5 Axles

Gathered useful information:

1. Fill vtec fluid - check
2. Get stage 12 axles - screw it got the ones made out of N.A.S.A scrap metal.
3. Realize the sites integrity is only measured by its members. -holy check on that!




....maybe next time

The stage 5 axles will do nothing for more torque or anything.

There are a lot of variables as to why the cars were so close... could be weight, traction, tire sizes affecting gearing, maybe they weren't in the same gear (i.e. sc guy in 3rd, while am guy in 2nd), etc... maybe one had a passenger and one didn't?

He use to be turbo, then he got an f22 to build his f20.. Thats why he got the axles. Both had no passengers, both off 2nd gear 40 mph roll all the way to 110-120..

Im just not understanding any factors that could even show why the two cars could be so close.. One has 325 to the wheels.. the all motor one cant be anywhere over 240 to the wheels and thats shooting high..
Your friend with the SC should have his car checked for problems.. I smell a boost leak..
