WRC ACCIDENT


We mentioned a couple of months ago that motocross hero Travis Pastrana is trying his hand at rallying. Our man with the hip-hops, Brian hipped us to the fact that Pastrana’s effort’s got some serious muscle behind it, but muscle wasn’t enough to save Travis and his co-driver Christian Edstrom from what can only be termed as a gnarly roll when Pastrana carried too much speed into a corner. The footage is shot from three angles, so you can watch Travis as the car flips. And flips. And flips again. And again. At one point, his arm gets sucked out the window from the force of the roll. He’s lucky he was able to hold onto it.

The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhausts are exclusive Special Edition HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust systems . Also referred to as the HKS Carbon Titanium Hi-Power catback exhaust, these exclusive versions of the HKS Hi-Power catback exhaust consist of a carbon-fiber wrapped muffler shell, titanium tip, and polished SUS304 stainless steel piping for a stylish and aggressive look. Each HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust looks as good as it performs. Inspired by GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Carbon-Ti catback exhaust system with features found on racing exhaust systems. The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust series incorporates a race inspired offset muffler and piping design, eliminating unnecessary bends for the straightest exhaust path. This less restrictive design allows the HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust to have greater exhaust flow and less back-flow pressure, enhancing higher-PRM power gains. The HKS Carbon-Ti catback exhaust system can be used for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated

Subaru's Car Intake System Design

Subaru's Car Intake System Design The following is an opinion on why different year model Subaru's react differently to modifications to their intake system . Primarily we're focusing on the late model Subarus which used either an air-flow system (up to 1999) or the speed-density system (2000+) in the North American market. Before we discuss the technical details of the Subaru Intake System, lets first get familiar with the two ways Subaru has used recently to measure air flow. The first method discussed is MAF Sensors which were used on all late models until the 2000 model year. From 2000-on Subaru has begun using a speed-density system which primarily relies on a MAP sensor. MAF Sensors Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to determine the weight of the air going into the engine. To do this, Subaru uses a cylinder shaped sensor mounted securely to the stock air cleaner box behind the passenger side headlight assem
