So I heard the first part to fighting an addiction is admiting there is a problem. I'm 20 yrs old now and have had a bunch of boosted cars. A 1983 celica supra, a 1988 conquest tsi and my baby 1987 toyota supra heck at one time I turboed my cavy to little success and later on blew my engine.
So its nice to be with fellow addicts.

As you know from physics, torque = force * distance so the farther from the center of the wheel that the rim is, the more torque and power it will take to turn.

I know who you are. I have been reading your build up thread for the last few days now. You have a great project going on there.

Excellent! With multiple treatments think I might get cured of this "disease"? |
