22% is quite a bit hefty for FWD..I know for a fact a Subaru RS losts 20% even from flywheel to wheels

thanks

To calculate that at the fly wheel add 22% for the 4wd system. Or 434.86 hp at the engine

what is on FWD and RWD?

434.86 hp at the engine *yawn* boring power but will get there.

O shut up...... :lol:

Shinez · Jun 2, 2003

FWD loses about 10-11% RWD about 12% give or take..and that's on stock drivetrains.

that particular car is 30k

I havne't bought it yet, I'm saving up for a down payment on one, which may be some time!

Shinez · Jun 3, 2003

Nightmare, from what I know a Eclipse is a 100% north american car...Hense the comedy when someone says they have a eclipse with JDM headlights or something

A quick note:
Driveline losses are calculations made by the software of a particular dyno. As a quick example on the rolling road I use it is about 22% in 4wd and 18% in 2wd. The driveline configuratin is unimportant. I've taken my car on a hub dyno and got quite a bit higher reading. About 20%. Yet that does not mean the other dyno is spot on or the one I am currently using is spot on.

There have been huge arguements and debates on this subject.

N E ways I use the same place to see gains or losses when work is done, and dyno's should be used for that and tuning only

$30,000? $30,000? Either my eyes are decieving me thinking that's a Porsche logo on the front or that's one hell of a deal.

using the same place is a good idea...nubers stay consistent....bte thx for the info....

oh yeah shinez see if u can get me that r32 truck vid

Fallen Blade · Jun 5, 2003

I've seen the Skyline truck. But I don't remember where... Quite the drifter it is though.

I am uncertain as to what my dream car would be as of now... Most likely a silver and blue FD3S.

RazorGTR · Jun 6, 2003

I've seen pictures of that skyling/truck thing before. Someone in Japan must have a sense of humour though actually I find it appauling doing that to a great car. Interesting yes, definately a conversational piece.

Think of it this way though. What would you think if someone did that to a lambo, Vette etc.

Blastphamy I tell ya :banghead:

there's a story that a designer at ferrari suggested (in the 70's i think) that ferrari make an estate (for the family man) and he was instantly sacked.

1. that looks like a riced out viper

2. look at that huge gap..it needs to be lowered badly.

Driftster · Oct 22, 2003

IT doesn't need to be lowered, the fenders just need to come down a bit..

skylineGTR_guy · Oct 22, 2003

I just skimmed it but your right. It just LOOKS like it needs to be lowered.
