Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

75 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • 6SpeedOnline: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link

Nope, the dyno I went to didn't work, need one with mechanically connected front and rear drums/rollers, otherwise the car's diff was getting all confused by the speed difference between front and rear wheels.

Many believe that only a RWD narrow track Porsche can turn... But, a little weight transfer makes a widebody 4 rotate very nicely.... Coming into this next photo's braking + turn-entry point, I saw about 110 on the speedo, through the preceeding apex. The extra downforce was quite noticable and appreciated!

thanks Doc......I'm actually considering taking off the Wing on the car should I decide to keep it (still up in the air.....want a TT maybe, but the look of the 4S is what is keeping me with her)...... What do you guys think????? Keep the wing or lose it????? HIGHCard/Ace is really influencing me to go wingless on the rear.....DAMMIT!!~!! I'm so confused...hahaha

Quote: bro to keep it real here your car is many miles away from looking anything like highcard's ride. you got these ugly black powdercoated stock wheels.... and the wing. that's it. highcard's slammed, 19" LMs pushed to the corners with an aggressive front bumper. keep the wing, get some better wheels, get some aerobits... something. think of it as a package deal and don't think goign wingless somehow makes your car look better. it's not. it costs $$$ and painfully... time.

POST 37Original post

Ben - you ever seen Chappelle Show's skit "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong".....you're waiting for one of those days.... As for Ace's car, in no way, shape or form am I saying that my car looks anything like his.....as for the wheels, I'm a fan of what I got the way it is, so to say they're ugly, I'll take your opinion, but the respect factor is something you need to give out my man....There's some design cues of your car that I don't care for, but I have never given you hell for that....It's what you like and that's it..... Thanks for the thoughts though......

booch, you know you're free to air that **** out anytime. let's not make it a you hurted my feelings so i'm going to hit u back elementary school bs. your car has no design cues whatsoever dude. breaking it down Choi style, it's got black powdercoated wheels backyard garage job. some sort of lowering suspension which is cool. some loud obnoxious exhaust. it's ghetto dude. honestly, i would've just kept it bone stock v. what you got going on now. nevertheless, glad you didn't get your panties in a bunch over my comments. it's about your damn car not your face or your mom. the cool thing is, you have a chance to make positive change. p.s. i did enjoy your youtube video

Benji, Feelings aren't hurt brother......not at all.....especially coming from a guy who's avatar pick used to be a "GHETTO" homeboy stance if I recall.... . As for the loud exhaust, I think it sounds like music to my ears (the way I like it......many may not, including the wife, but I like it). Don't get what the point is of posting some pix up of my car, and you blasting it.....Trust me, I have plenty of people coming around to admire my car and make compliments. Is it the BEST LOOKING one out there, probably not for most, but definitely for me.......... As for making positive change......I do that every day of my life with the people I am in contact with. The car is a passion, but it doesn't run my life dude (I guess like it runs yours). Cars will come and go (some like, some don't like - everyone's entitled to an opinion), but I do believe you need to settle down a bit with your "OPINIONS" b/c it's just not good karma brother. Much respect my man.....no worries.... Quote:

Quote: Hey thanks much! As you can tell, I am kind of going for the luxury touring look rather than the racing look. I know wood is a little out of style, but I still like it. (I guess it's because I always wanted an E-type Jaguar when I was a kid). I also like the rims. I had a chance to stop by Wheel Enhancement when traveling (they are pretty close to LAX). Nice to see a selection in real life.

POST 75Original post

booch, the RG5s are perfect for narrowbodies but they don't offer it in 12s. check out the HRE P90s in 19x12s. [email removed] is a great help. they're only 20lbs or something ridiculous like that for a 3 piece wheel. not sure how strong they are, but they're gorgeous.
