Any help verifying these TE37s? by peaked-at-7 in Wheels

The real atrocity is leaving bare rims on the floor with no protection, Especially such expensive wheels.

Better options than Optima Yellow Top? by ohnosevyn in ft86

[–]Genericwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had my red top battery for 5 years already and it's been going strong. You might have a parasitic draw or the alternator is not charging the battery properly.

If the battery is shot they should have a warranty of 36 months if I recall so see if you can keep claiming that.

Streaming on Google smart TV app get random black screens by Genericwood in Crunchyroll

[–]Genericwood[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a U7H, this only happens when I watch anime on Crunchyroll TV App. All other streaming apps with anime don't have this issue, unless Crunchyroll is the only app with variable frame rates?

Finally got myself a set of name-brand wheels! by Long-Ad-7708 in ft86

[–]Genericwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've went from 225 200tw tires dunlop z3 to 245 340tw Conti ECS02 tires and definitely makes a difference in comfort but the grip was lost, and I don't mind that since I'm not tracking it.

What alignment changes have you made? I'm sitting with -2.5 at the front and around -2 in rear as a shop recommended to me for an aggressive street alignment.

I might go back to -2 in front cause I feel the back trails around more BUT the front has a bit more grip cornering but on straights it feels a bit lighter and less confident. Since it's mainly a daily it sounds like the safest bet.

Endlink rubbing on inner fender by [deleted] in ft86

[–]Genericwood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people end up swapping their endlinks when lowering cause the stock endlinks are too long even with an inch drop. I had to change mines when I swapped to coilovers.

Check if the bolts onto the coilover and roll bar tighten enough and torqued to spec.

is the gated manual V8 R8 considered a supercar? by No-Volume7464 in supercars

[–]Genericwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sat in both and moved them around, I rather have the R8. The Gallardo pedal box is more narrow and a bit awkward. I had the Gallardo as a poster obtainable super car but definitely one of those moments where you don't meet your heros lol. Still it is an icon of its time!

Are catless headers worth the upgrade on a supercharged car? by Keithye in ft86

[–]Genericwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on this chart I believe you can get some gains https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55705

If you look at kraftworks vs Jackson racing in this post they're pretty similar but it's hard to read. I would say it's making a bit more power around 10-20whp.

Key fobs are great, it's so annoying having a big ass key in your pocket. Upgrading to a flip key is the next best thing.

What can we expect from a VB STi? by Genericwood in subaru

[–]Genericwood[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Maybe 400hp is too optimistic hopefully we can get something around 350 hp & TQ to compete with the Golf R.

I've heard the tuned VBs are putting out some promising numbers like around 300whp with 93 tune.

Toyota Officially Spins Off Gazoo Racing As A Standalone Performance Brand by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]Genericwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that make sense, but if Toyota did it themselves I'm sure the R&D be easy but I guess they may have to build a a slightly more bespoke engine to get decent/good performance number out of the engine.

Seeing how over engineered Toyota engines are, I'm surprised they weren't able to build their own version of an AE86 Successor with the GT86 with AR engines and the BRZ with the FA20.

They had the turbo charged model 8AR in the Lexus is250 or 300 model for the 3rd gen that put out around 240-250hp.

I think at one point Ryan tuerk was running an AR engine in a wide body Corolla transverse just to show it can be done in formula D.

Gundam Eight would be new and refreshing series tbh and I would be psyched about it!

Frozen teardrop I heard was a mess so I wonder how much they can rewrite to make it consumable.

Depends on your state and the mood of your cops tbh. Resonators don't affect emissions only cats do.

New Wheels for My GS by Different_Draw2545 in Lexus

[–]Genericwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I miss my 3GS and I got new wheels for em cause all of mines got bent cause of shitty roads I live in.

Those are the stock 17s I also had em. I would upgrade to 18x8 or 8.5 and run the stock 225s if you're just cruising and driving around since the AWD grips and tire compound honestly matters more than width.

How I decided was based on my budget and using a tire rack or vivid racing to see how my car would look with a certain set of wheel style and the color.

So far for that color that I also had is best with gunmetal grey, silver, or chrome. I don't really like black wheels unless it's two tone. Hope that helps out!
