P is for passenger . I believe.
C & D will give you better bulge when airing down for offroad compared to E

 

My 285s only came with E rated

 

Anybody looking for new tires?

 

Kinda sketchy that one, fricken tires look lopsided.

 

800? Can ? hahahaha

 

Doubt it. Get plenty meat still.

 

Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh today.

 

Anyone have suggestions and input for running a 2nd battery. Such as configuration and additional equipment. Got a Bluesea fuse distribution block and acr I believe. Gotta double check lol

 

Need your input please...washing my car weekly because i live Hauula..have these 3 spots on my passenger side frame that look like either rust starting or weld marks...anyone else have these..if not..what's the best undercoat and who does it on island? don't want my frame rusting out thanks

 

looks like something, best option may be to sand it down clean and paint over the section

 

Yeah. Sand down and coat with POR

 

Thanks..couldn't stand it so i sanded it down and sure enough a few bubbles
starting to form..dammit!! Can u buy POR on island or do u normally ship in? thanks

 

I see Napa hastomorrow's project

 

Por15 works great, but it's all in the prep. You need to grind/ sand/ wire wheel down to bare metal first, and then follow the directions accordingly. A little over kill, if you ask me. It's not like you're doing the entire frame. Just spray paint it.

 

What you guys think?

Whistle

Or

Rumble

Just different tunes? I'd vote rumble

 

I have full access to the OEM ecm... It allows me to change different stuff in the ecm... The difference between the two is the turbo vane position, in the sections of the table for idle.. there are negligible performance differences between the two and its purely about sound... The rumble tune has the turbo more open, so more exhaust bypasses the turbo without spinning the wheel and creates a louder sound.... With the whistle tune more exhaust is forced through the wheel quieting the rumble down but producing a louder whistle instead

 

Wow that's pretty cool. So the exhaust can bypass the turbo, like a wastegate that opens at idle?

I'd still say ruble at idle. Then you can still catch people off guard, and whistle later.

 

Yea I like the rumble as well....

Here's a little video on vgt

Holy witchcraft. Man, technology is amazing now a days. I haven't had a turbo car since a eclipse GSX. I remember when twin scrolls were the rage.
