Tyres Size on your SUBARU WRX STI CAR?



What do you mean when you say 185-65HR13?
185 65 H R 13
This is the width in mm of the tyre from sidewall to sidewall when it's unstressed and you're looking at it head on (or top-down). This is known as the section width. This is the ratio of the height of the tyre sidewall, (section height), expressed as a percentage of the width. It is known as the aspect ratio. In this case, 65% of 185mm is 120.25mm - the section height. This is the speed rating of the tyre. This tells you that the tyre is a radial construction. Check out tyre construction if you want to know what that means. This is the diameter in inches of the rim of the wheel that the tyre has been designed to fit on. Don't ask me why tyre sizes mix imperial and metric measurements. They just do. Okay?

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

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
