If you are adamant on running them off the head unit, then go for a pair of coaxials with a very high sensitivity rating (>90db/watt).

The higher the sensitivity, the more the speaker can do with...

You'd have a good chance of winning this in court.

The mechanic owes a duty of care to look after the car whilst it's in their possession.

Quite often, a scary letter from your lawyer is...

34 and 32 psi sound high to me for 15 inch rims.

Have a look at your tyre placard and see what it recommends. I'd be surprised if it wasn't somewhere in the mid to high 20 psi range.

It sounds like you're talking about lack of ride quality.

Lower your tyre pressures.

Fit smaller rims with a more compliant and higher profile tyre.

Ir depends on what car you came from.

If your previous ride was a Lexus and you jumped into a Euro, yes, it will seem like a harsh ride.

Best thing to do is to eliminate any variables. Try and...

You come up with some very illogical arguments!

Why would I have to go out and personally get under 6 seconds in a stock My99 WRX when this has been repeatedly and consistently achieved by...

No sarcasm this time, NightKids? ;)

First, you state that it is impossible for a standard WRX to run high 5's - I quote, it's "absolutely absurd".

Then, when you are given objective, reputable...

???

I am relaxed! Especially when it comes to showing that you were wrong - sarcastic or not ;)

But we digress. Back on topic.

So we basically have several reputable motoring organisations...

Yes, I have to agree with you completely NightKids.

Wheels, Motor, Drive and Autospeed are all absurd publications.

How dare they test an Aussie spec MY99 WRX and prove us (actually, you)...

I sure did!

"DC2r will catch it as soon as Vtec kicks in"

"my b18c5 eh didnt have a problem racing a 99wrx off the line"

"0-100 times for both Integra and WRX are roughly the same"

"in...

No surprises that on a Honda forum, most of us put on those rose coloured glasses and declare the Integra to be the faster car.

Unfortunately, I don't think rose coloured glasses are very clear to...

If this Type S is non-turbo, street debit is more apt ;)

General principles

You need more of this:
Brakes - better discs, pads, fluid, braided lines etc.
Tyres - preferably a separate set of track rims and slicks.
Skills - probably the most important...

Rarity aside and playing the devil's advocate here, on what objective performance measure would this be preferable over something like, say, a Mitsubishi Evo?

I guess the crux of what I'm getting...

Aside from the already mentioned issue of your car being assessed if you make a claim, they'd also be within their rights to deny your claim because you've failed in your duty of disclosure to them....

Good time for the car but the subject title is somewhat misleading - intake and weight reduction is not "stock" ;)

The short answer is "yes, insurance companies can deny your claim if your tint is illegal".

Most insurance policies or Product Disclosure Statements will include a condition that your coverage is...

Manufacturers typically recommend a timing belt service internal of xxx,xxx klms or X years, whichever comes first.

This is because rubber belts and hoses deteriorate over time, regardless of...

I agree that if you'll be doing a lot of K's on the daily grind, then fuel economy does come into consideration. You'd be surprised though at the S15's fuel economy. Bear in mind that it is a...

With respect to the relevant posters, what I find a little curious is the criticism of the S15's "turbo lag" and yet, there is no corresponding balancing comment on "Vtec lag".

Similarly, the...

I had a quick look at what S15s are asking for these days and you'll easily get something for $19k.

Stock and even heavily modified examples start from $15k and some apparently have only 40-50K...

I perfectly understand the appeal of the ITR. As previously stated, it's a lot of fun in certain conditions that allow for constant high RPM. In other conditions, it can be a bit much keeping it on...

I've driven both the DC2R and the DC5 Type R and Type S.

The DC2R is the rawest of the lot and the least suited of the 3 for the daily grind. If you do any long commutes on the highway, you'll...

Mike.

I used to own an AUDM S15 for a couple of years and I've driven a few Type Rs in my time.

It really depends on your intended purpose for the car.

The S15 is likely to be a better daily...
