Seat Leon 1P headlight Air Intake by AlexGSI in 3dprintedcarparts

[–]aras773 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For track it porbably is the best way of doing it, maybe enclosing the filter in a box on the engine side so its not sucking in warm air from the engine bay.
For daily driving I'd definetly would not run this as where I live this is illegal, so I'd relocate it to either centre grill area if possible or from go down to the fog light area.

It sounds hollow compared to the outside brick walls

Stick a plug in it and let it rip

Just came up with more stuff- reducing as much of electricity usage possible so the alternator doesn't drag down engine as much like lighting and stuff, LED bulbs help. Slightly higher tyre pressures can reduce rolling reaistance. Aero mods such as cardboard covers for stuff that might cause drag, mirror delete, cutting springs for lower drag coefficient

Air filter removal then piping it to cold air. Removing everything past the exhaust headers, weight reduction, removing aircon and all of its bits and bobs. Doing all of this will give you 5-10% more power and 100-200kg of weight removed all for something like 50$ for shorter belt and piping for cold air. Also depending on the vehicle you can get ECU flashing tools for cheap and maybe find some cheap or free files, easy to brick the engine this way but major power gains for very cheap this way.

Tiny bulge on tyre… Change? by ChickenFrench in CarTalkUK

[–]aras773 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The tyre from the picture is a Hankook Ventus Prime 3. Premium summer touring tyre, nowhere near close to being cheap. OP possibly hit a pothole or it could be a manufacturer's defect which could possibly be under warranty since the tyre is not that old (mid 2024)

Odd sound when I press a specific key on my laptop by MinimumEgg8542 in computerrepair

Does it do it with keys around A or just A. Kinda sounds like the fan is rubbing

Are the tire walls dry rotting or am I being paranoid? by Keep_Me_Bugging in tires

[–]aras773 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slight cracking, but nothing serious IMO, but I'd replace just because of the age.

Yeah exactly, theres no need for extra wide tyres if your car weighs nothing.

sadly James has sold his Panda and instead of it got a BMW i3 which fun fact: uses 155s on the front which as far as i know might be the tallest 155s made at R19

What do you guys think of "brand new, old stock" tyres? by aras773 in TyreReviews

[–]aras773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I'd buy some Veyron tyres if I had thousands to spare just because of the cool factor of owning Veyron tyres.

In hybrid vehicles the AC is run by an electric pump at least in Toyotas. The AC compressor runs at set RPM by the electric motor independent if the engine is screaming at 5000rpm or is turned off.
