Those cars are garbage with a capital G. The only people that ever seem to buy them are rappers, and people who want to show off. Hence, the massive chromed rims.

Do you know the size bulb? If so, just head over to oznium.com or superbrightleds.com and get an LED replacement.

While it's an expensive little monster, it sure would be an insane ride.

Anyone running one of these little monsters? I know they are pretty pricey...but..400 NA HP? I could only imagine what a quick spooling turbo, an additional 200hp, and some traction control yould be like...:willy_nilly:

what kind of power can a BE7 trans reliably hold without mods?

When adjusting a coilover such as this...there are things you need to know. If there is only one adjustment knob, it's for both rebound, and compression. You need to balance this with the spring rates on the car for the bst overall ride, and performance. A 300/250 may be the most comfortable for street, or too heavy. If the ride is still too harsh after softenting up the damping, then you need to switch to a lower spring rate. But..be warned, go too soft or too hard and you can blow out the valving in the coilover. Adjusting these is super easy as long as you have a pair of shock wrenches. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=SPRINGWRENCH Without being able to see how these are attached, I can't comment on the ride-height adjustment. Most coilovers like this do it one of two ways, either by adjusting the collar touching the spring up or down the shock body, or having a separate collar that attaches to the car itself threaded over the shock body. As for having to lift the car back up after you pushed it down leads me to belive that you may already have a blown shock, with a dead spring. Contact Spax directly to figure that out. If you desire, you can measure the spring after you have it off the car for overall length, and I.D. and replace them with ones from Eibach, H&R, or Hypercoil. Hypercoils tend to be the least expensive, but perform just as well as the others. Make sure you set things so the car is level with the car fully wet, and the driver, or equivalent in weight in the drivers seat, then, get it aligned properly, fully wet and with weight in the drivers seat to equal yours. Make sure that everything is as close to perfect as you can for the most neutral handling, and I like to set my toe to zero degrees if possible, makes for a balanced car. Another really nice idea is to get it corner weighted/banaced if you have a shop around you that can do it. Makes the car even that much closer to perfect.

I have a Cobra, and I love it. Pics up cops with K band at BVR...laser detection is pretty good too, helps in heavy traffic where laser bounces off of cars ahead of me, gives me a few seconds of early warning. The only worry with laser jammers is if they activate a jam-code on the gun. If so, it can be seen as interference with police equipment, and obstruction of justice. They probably could impound your car, and search it if they wanted. Thankfully, with a good traffic lawyer, you can get any ticket wiped out easily and if they did impound and damage your vehicle, probably get it resolved easily.

Good read!

Would nearly bet on death at impact. He was hit right were the atlas, and axis sit in the spinal column. Breaking either of those is a less than 1% chance of survival. Given the force of the impact, between a highly probable C1/C2 fracture and displacement, it's also extremely likely that both internal and external jugular veins were severed, along with tracheal rupture and displacement. It's quite likely that he never knew what hit him. i feel horrible for Rossi, and I really hope this doesn't end his career as well due to psychological traumas. I know when Michael Park was killed in 2005 in a WRC crash, Markko Martin basically retired from the WRC, and has only been doing R&D work since, with an occasional rally. It was a horrible week, three racers lost. Two in events, and one in a private plane crash...all three were at the top of their game.

My understanding is that the rollhoop was torn from the car when it went into the fence. I can only imagine that the head trauma was horiffic. Many are calling for enclosed cockpits. For any of us that watch LeMans or saw the shunt that Allan McNish had, a closed cockpit saved his life, no doubt about that. Dan was a good guy, sucks...could have been one of the greats.

Sounds like a mass air flow sensor to me, or possibly even a cam position sensor. I know on the SRT-4, the cam position sensor was a huge issue, and wasn't present until 55mph, or 3k RPM, and honestly, it sounds like it presents similarly to what the SRT's does.

fair enough. I didn't realize that the drag was that bad. I mean, I knew it wasn't great, but a Hummer? Yikes. Well, I suppose, there isn't anything wrong with weight reduction, and some aero bits to help that. Thanks!

Looking at doing multiple long distance drives when I get around to building, and finishing my Westfield(...someday I'll afford one...) What is the largest tank that can be fitted? I don't want have to stop every 250mi for fuel. With a Hayabusa motor, and cruising at 70mph, I estimate 40-50MPG. I would love to fit a 20-25gal cell. Possible or no?
