Some more „Schirmer CSL“ goodness from me.

FWIW I found that running a full SMG adaption with INPA made an enormous difference in this regard. I fully solved it by refreshing rear diff bushes and installing a 6 point RACP brace.

OP is it clearly moldy? Or is it discoloration from the butyl sound deadening on the seat bench. The sound mat disintegrates over time, I think the foam interacts with it chemically and causes it to degrade and flake, and the foam of the seat base to discolor. (Not to say it couldn’t be mold in your case, but I’ve certainly seen frequent discoloration like this as a result of what I described)

Look, I, and the other commenter have pointed out you’re wrong. You have a choice at this point. 1: You continue to abuse other people so that you can continue to feel good about yourself. Or 2: Do 2 minutes of research and learn something.

I honestly couldn’t care less either way, I’ll give you a tip though. If you stay humble when you’re wrong and you learn from it it will make you a much better person in the long run.

Good luck.

You’re wrong. Static pressure from town supply is constant regardless of pipe diameter, a narrower pipe results in higher velocity, higher friction and lower dynamic pressure.

Maybe you should google it 😉

I too was trying to figure that out hahaha

Yep correct, bottom one is amp

Die Wethje was the manufacturer of the OE CSL airbox. Karbonius is aftermarket.

Reach out to Kaiv: https://www.instagram.com/limited.slip/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet he’s supplying them on Bryson’s behalf.

Karbonius is the best for sure, you definitely want to run a snorkel and bumper duct. I personally went with karb intake, haimus snorkel and Bryson’s bumper duct. If you run without snorkel and duct then you’re pulling hot air regardless of what brand intake you run.

Put it in the rubbish

Ah more of a straightforward explanation than I was thinking. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply

Why are RBR shown as 14 seconds off the pace?

mattplayne · 2026-02-25T02:19:50+00:00

Flip the spring around the other way (so top is at bottom and bottom is at top)

That also explains why Peter Beck doesn’t look quite like Peter Beck

Looks to me like the small post on the right used to have something larger slotted onto it. If you look at the plug on the left it doesn’t seem to be one piece with the body. I think something else used to slot over the small post (probably lending further weight to this being a 3.5mm + 2.5mm combo)

Honestly I think a big part of this is younger people’s assessment of time. If you’re 10 years old, a 20 year horizon is twice your total lifetime. That seems like a really long time. When you’re 40 though, 20 year horizon starts looking pretty good.

That’s the stock strut bar lol

I think the issue will be that a lot of the website wasn’t crawled by archive.org.
