Hey John, I was wondering the other day, does Metric do anything special for the side and rear block coolant connectors or do they just specify the stock pieces? __________________ ~Dave~

Here is a little story about the turbo 318 -vs- some Subaru WRX STI. Driving to working minding my own business and up comes a STI and he starts holding my pace (speed limit). We catch a red light and the road is clear, I look over and he gives a little rev... It's on...Light turns green and he gets me by 3 cars right away. I'm through 1st in less then 1.5 seconds @10psi and hit scramble right when I shift second. Bam there is a slight continuous tire spin as I pull quickly up side of the WRX and start to pass @ 16.3psi. I bang 3rd and he is now falling behind quick so I let off. Next light we exchange a thumbs up. Nothing like the feeling of a big dump of adrenaline, now I need a nap as I'm coming down  WRX's always gave me trouble but not anymore and this was a nice one | | | | | 09-04-2009, 03:12 PM | #455 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Nashville, TN Posts: 699 |

Man... That brings back memories of my time living in Florida!... I seriously had to race someone every single day... They never learned You took on a very tough opponent, and came up on top, that means that the Turbo 318 is a confirmed BEAST! __________________ 2LT Rodriguez CA ARNG

I would have put 20+psi on him but my Meth controller craped out 3 days ago and the new one won't be here until Wednesday I can almost guarantee a close to or over 400RWHP dyno run when I take her up for testing...  I'm having issues now with frame flex. My carbon Fibre sunroof is making cracking noises during heavy boost and the car is twisting and pulling to the right. | | | | | 09-04-2009, 05:47 PM | #460 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Oceanside, CA Posts: 421 |

Storng Strutt makes a trilogy kit that might inspire you: on the Z3 it works very well. The plastic around the rollbar has the tendency to creack when going over bumps sideway. This solves the problem. Link However check the rear subframe and make sure your not ripping it off the chassis... __________________

time to get a full roll cage 8 points or more and foam the chassis, that would help with the chassis twist __________________  5/96 318TI Sport BIG TURBO | | | | | 09-04-2009, 10:01 PM | #464 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Oceanside, CA Posts: 421 |
