My car crashed, now at workshop, repair begin on Monday/Tuesday. So this is the ONLY window of opportunity you can poison me for bodykit. Any available FRP/PU kit with cheap price, please PM me, whether OEM or rubbish or dumb fuck designer kit. If I see fit, I'll pay you straight and expect to take stock not later than Tuesday(as usual, my style).

apa jadi woh...

Is the torque curve that is been changed or moved that's why you have lower RPM reading compare to before. In stock form the engine rev has to be at 3000RPM @80km/h now after changing the header, you have moved the torque curve broader and lower hence your engine can work less to achieve 80km/h therefore you RPM reads lower. The gear ratio is still the same. What has changed is the torque output or the engine.

Kena buttseck. Car @ the back >40% damage, could be totaloss

I respect u as a trackie, never reply/comment on your post. But, wadafuqisdisshietjiutokingabout?

OMG.

Glad you are safe.

But poor shawie...

eh? savvy or blm ni?

price wise? or design wise?

No, Like you said gear ratio is fixed.

Let's imagine a very simple drivetrain, the engine drives a gear, the gear drives another gear that is twice it's size, which is in turn directly connected to the drive shaft, so we have a reduction gear 2:1 system whereby for 2 revolutions from the engine, the driveshaft turns 1 revolution. So, when the engine spins 2000 RPM, the driveshaft is spinning 1000 RPM.

Changes to the engine performance, more torque, less torque, earlier torque, later torque, will NEVER change that relationship. As long as the engine is spinning 2000 RPM, the driveshaft is ALWAYS spinning 1000 RPM, doesn't matter at 2000 RPM the engine is generating 10Nm or 10,000Nm.

The only way a gearbox can do that is either the clutch / torque converter was previously slipping, or it's a CVT. But as mentioned before, even a CVT have fixed cruising ratios; you can accelerate to 80km/h in the same amount of time with lower RPM (because you have more torque at lower RPM), but it will ALWAYS settle at the fixed RPM when cruising.

That is to say, if you cruise at 100km/h at 3,000 RPM in fifth gear with a Campro 1.3l, then you transplant GTR monster engine but didn't change your gearbox, you will still get 100km/h at 3,000 RPM in fifth gear.

Only you can have an accident and be so casual about it What car was it? whats the damage on the Shawie?

Ouch, sorry to hear that.. Someone with bad brakes?

Shawie ady poor, the thing is, it happened to my BLM

Jiu dun care huat desai nor plice, juice gibme all da BLM FRP/PU kit, I'll ejes akording to mai bajet

That says, ayam not playing the fool when I say near miss incident. I drive alot to the extend that chances of me getting killed in a road accident is so much greater than you guys Each of my car yield about 40k a year mileage. This time is BLM, last month Shawie ady kena bang by bike

need BIG BIG plaster liao this time.

waiting game begins. waiting weekend. faster come....

glad unker david is allright. just cannot imagine car that buttseks ur blm > 40% damage. what car is it?

Hi Bro...

Glad 2 hear yu came thru that unfortunate experience with no personal injury...
Yu are that most important factor in watever event!
We thk God 4that!
That point is most important in our lives...so sad that most ppl lose sight of that...

at least saga is longer,

sorry to hear bout that david...

I think its time for your BLM to become R3

This time plaster canot help, need to jahit this time.

U got received my sms? Sorry ya

let me mod sub woofer first then will drag with kenji again.
some how after yesterday's drag race, my car's acceleration feel so much smoother today..

Really ar????

price i pm u ya. refer names.
