How much you all wanna bet that....

do u really believe that??

It's amazing what you can do to a car for nearly no cash. Hop on down to the local 1/4 and sift through that trash barrel, and there's sure to be a hot timeslip. Find a nasty dyno chart on the floor at your nearby tuner shop, and BAM! You've got power like nobody's biz. Call your pals over, flash the docs, and watch 'em wish they were you. Oh, yeh...

Get a load of the real cool, super hot, hot air intake. :eek: Ever been taken for a ride? :confused::lol:

Would Cold Air intake even make a difference with our cars? I mean in order to get cold air the installation would be some what of a difficult one. And the pipe would need to reach pretty far, also, always the risk of getting water in the engine.

Forget all of that nonsense.....A "No Fear" sticker and a huge monsterous eye-sore of a spoiler, that car would hit 350 HP just like that!

hey, before you make fun of this guy, give him the benefit of the doubt, that supercharger that looks like a stock alternator *could* gain him one hundred horse... wait, that IS a stock alternator!? :confused:

alright, have at it...

Can anyone say bye bye clutch packs? 215 front and 255 rears on a front bias car... I wonder what it drives like :eek:

Haha, this is exactly what i was thinking. Maybe he has repressed anger towards his transfer clutch? Well, what used to be a transfer clutch.

Well considering the SVX has a stock cold air...

No, I don't think it would.

Also nb4, SVX is not a honda.

It's definitely the red top battery giving him all the power.:D

I dunno, but I DO know who gave him tire advice :rolleyes::D:D:eek:

:tard:This stuff makes my brain hurt:o

Well, I was talking about a After market one, you know a pipe that runs down the bottom of the front bumper, It can increase hp for some cars but I wasn't sure, and thank you for letting me know this :)

yea yea the wheels look the same to me and to fit 255s the guards would have to have been pulled and rolled!! i couldnt fit 245s to mine

There are a few people running 255/35/18's without rolled fenders or problems.

Alfa spoiler - No way
 

Who got the idea that that shopping cart handle spoiler on his car is from an Alfa Romeo? No self-respecting Alfa (and I know a lot of them) would let anything that ugly be stuck on their butt.
Paul

I wonder if it's optimal for the svx or a lotus espirit v8 :lol:

i knew i was neglecting something
 

255/50wr16s are on my car and running. fyi: the audi rs4 has 255/35yr19 with the same dimensions, but that's even under tired for that:repost: weight. i would put 245/45yr19 on the rs4.

does look like the spoiler of the Lemans 24hr alfa

i dont believe it
 

245 what? 60/16?

what brand?? love to know because biggest i could fit on mine was 235/40/18s my alloys have a +42 offset , would that make a difference??

who gave him tire advice?
 

how's this. the dodge charger srt-8 awd has 245/45yr20 tires!

lowered suspension?
 

do you have the stock ride height? is it plus 42 on a 7" rim. i hope it's not an 8.

wide isnt what you need
 

ideally, try 245/45-18. think jag xk.

I'm surprised though, most people around here with a name like Sergio Sanchez, their cars have chrome on things I didn't think you could get chromed! (I've seen, among other things, a 94 Honda Accord with those goofy window guard things (the things that go around the top of the window, I guess they're more of a wind deflector?) that hung down 2" from the top of the window frame, with chrome trim, gold wire wheels, big ass fin, DUAL chrome fart cans (4 cyl..), chrome grille, chrome strip on the windshield, velour top (with chrome trim) and whitewall tires, with chrome fender flares (The wheels were like 12 or 13 inch and hung out of the fender wells like 4")

So in comparison that SVX isn't so bad, aside from the wing...

just ran out and checked 18 by 7.5j

yep ride is stock, but with my current configuration i can drop it the .75 rear and 1.5 front without any rub ( i checked that before buying the 18s)

Check out this thread: http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...tribeca+wheels

18x8's with an offset of about +49mm (give or take a couple mm, it gets very close at that point) are well suited to a 255/35/18. A nearly identical fit is a 245/40/18, but the 255's come more comonly with an XL (Extra Load) rating, allowing them to safely carry the weight of the SVX.

What does that have to do with anything?

Poschekiller, you have to realize that the SVX doesn't take kindly to tires of different diameters than stock. It's recommended that in no case should a car tire be more than 3% from the OEM fitment, but this is especially true for us. Most of us who have stock transmissions are, unfortunately, vulnerable to trans failure, largely caused by heat buildup. Obviously, an auxiliary trans cooler can mitigate the problem, but running larger diameter than stock tires places more load on the trans, causing more heat buildup. You've repeatedly suggested odd tire sizes, and even running different sized tires front to rear, which leads straight to transfer death. I don't know where you draw your information from, but it confuses me. I do have some experience in tires, so I'm not completely ignorant to what I'm saying here.

crazy pilot is right
 

i dont know why yours wouldnt fit then. i just put 255/50wr16 on 16x7.5 no problem. see how the load rating is important. for comparison, a 255/35yr18 is the back tire on a bmw 335i, much lighter than the front of our cars at 2100 lbs. try the 245/45yr18 (c5 vette,jag xk) from tires-easy.com discounttiredirect.com tirerack.com or edgeracing.com. you'll eliminate the understeer and long braking distances.

offset

Tom

offset
 

i just checked my wheels. they have 38mm offset, unless his is going the other way.

I have 245/40-18's on mine, and I had to roll the fenders some.
It might be because they are mounted on the Murano wheels, not sure what the offset is on those.

handling?
 

how is the understeer compared to stock? my 255/50wr16s have a 38mm offset and fit perfect. thats like a 255/40yr18

Really didnt drive it all that much before I put the new tires on it.
So I dont have much to base off of.
Altho there was a time last week where I was making a sweeping corner in the rain and the backend wanted to swap with the front :eek:
I just let off the go pedal a little and it was fine :p

4wheel drifts
 

i guess that means the understeer is gone:)

Well, one thing I dont like that much is the ride. I feel every little bump in the road now.
I've never had this type profile tire before and wasnt expecting it, but I'm getting used to it. Not to mention the look I get in it :p

I hear you on that one... I feel EVERYTHING with the muranos and the Koni's on almost full firm :D. But the fun factor in the ride has increased and people notice the car way more now.

ride
 

that's why i kept the 255/50-16s. plus all season rubber has a softer ride and a softer low temp compound. there really is no point in having summer tires when you compare the hard #s on tirerack.com's tire tests. plus you get longer tread wear. i also like i can run higher psi for even better handling, acceleration and mpg with the huge tires.
