    Clutch and fly wheel opinions

    Well the clutch isn't slipping, so a synchro problem sounds worse. It only bounces around if I rev it up, shift and then let off the gas.

    Clutch and fly wheel opinions

    I'm going to need a new clutch for my STi RA 5 speed and I know nothing about clutches. The clutch now bounces out of gear, but I don't want a 6 puck to pound on the transmission either.

    compression test results please help

    That is probably where the oil is going. I had the same problem after a cam and engine seal install by an incompetent mechanic, resulting in a quart of oil lossed every 200 miles, when the engine had hardly used any oil before. I imagine in an unmodified engine with 27k miles a dealer may...

    True power of production cars.

    lol, actually R&T doesn't test 60-100mph, I figured the times as I stated when I started the thread. Can we try to be real here.

    True power of production cars.

    Problem with Motor Trend is they don't usually have a Road Test Summary so I've been faithful to R&T. I liked it when Auto Week would list all the times from every magazine. Whenever I looked up at my trap speed it matched my speedometer.

    True power of production cars.

    All of my times came from Road & Track and their times for the STI are 5.0 and 14.1, the WRX are 5.1 and 13.5. Considering the STI 1/4 mile time is 13.6 @ 98.2 mph. Cars with a 12.2 time are the Audi S5 and G8 GT.

    True power of production cars.

    I was thinking today, as someone tried to race me as I was passing on the right because they were blocking the passing lane as usual, that that is when street cars are mostly tested. On the street you can't really run a full road course or even a real 1/4 mile race, so it all comes down to...

    Awesome way to compare cars.

    How long is your daily commute?

    Mine from Boston to Salem can be any where from 20 minutes to an hour one way depending on the time of day and route. There's about 5 different routes I can take, but at 3 rush hour is so bad I have to take 28 North, to the Fellsway North, to Route 1 north, which is a scenic drive by water and...

    ...ahhh, the 225/50-16s are the same diameter as the 205/55-16s, in fact I remember them both were original to the first 911 C4. -----Added 5/11/2009 at 08:30:24----- If you haven't found the limit of the Blizzaks then do yourself a favor and get yourself an 80,000 mile warranty tire, Pep Boys...
