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...

Pirelli P Zero Nero Tyres THE tyres for WRP10 Drivers' needs and expectations are becoming more sophisticated, especially at the top end of the car market. Increasingly, fast trackers, the primary target for Pirelli , require ultra-low profile tyres with larger diameter wheels as well as higher tyre load capacity. Ultra-high performance tyres are no longer confined to the world's most prestigious sports cars. They are increasingly in demand for powerful, new generation saloons , station wagons and estate cars. Increased section widths and rim diameters, lower aspect ratios and higher speed ratings mean that tyre behaviour can be strictly controlled, resulting in better handling, faster steering response and shorter braking distances. In other words, greater driveability at extreme levels of performance. Ideal for original equipment applications, these products are also in great demand for specialist tuning operations involving +1, +2, +3 diameter rims. In recent years, inn...

What would happen if you took a Subaru Impreza WRX, added key STI components, Australian planning, design and engineering? The result is Subaru’s new Limited Edition Impreza WRX WRP10 – a model exclusive to the Australian market. The WRP10 will be available from late January 2005 and is limited to 200 units, featuring individually numbered badges. “The “WR” represents Impreza WRX’s success in World Rally competition, “P” the enormous rallying contribution from Pirelli tyres and “10” the years since launch of the original Impreza WRX”. Available exclusively as a Crystal Grey Metallic manual sedan, the WRP10 includes a STI engine performance upgrade kit increasing peak power from standard WRX’s 168 kW @ 6,000 rpm to175kW @ 6,000 rpm.

Combined, these additions give WRP10 more responsive, linear engine performance ...

What is the purpose of the air filter? The primary function of an air filter is to deliver both airflow and superior dirt protection . Air filters is to provide minimum restriction allowing airflow into an engine. In the vast majority of cases increased airflow will increase engine performance measured by horsepower and throttle response (torque). K & N Performance High Flow Air Filter More air entering the engine increases the efficiency of the combustion process creating more horsepower and torque. Horsepower is a measure of the engine's maximum power while torque measures how quickly you can accelerate. The K&N High Flow Air Filter is unique in all the world. It uses premium quality oiled cotton gauze sandwiched between layers of wire screen. This special design permits very high flow rates, minimum restriction, maximum filtration, and very long filter life. When dirty, simply wash, re-oil and install. to increase engine performance in both horsepower and thr...

What is grounding wire? Grounding wire is made of low resistance material, that allow free flow of electrical currents. Unlike copper cable, grounding wires are sliver coated to ensure that the cable will maintain it's high performance. Low resistance terminal are also use to ensure best performance can be achieved from this product. How does grounding wire works? Normal wires that are provided with the car has a higher resistance. Grounding wire work by providing a lower resistance path electrical current to flow back to the negative point of the battery. Benefits of using grounding wire: * ensure a easier startup of your car * provide better electrical current flow to spark plugs * enhance your I.C.E (In-Car Entertainment) system * gives you brighter headlights * better pickup * protecting the car against outages & sudden surges So head down to your car accessaries shop & get your grounding wires installed!

Every car lover, would like to perk up their car by adding gauges. But what sort of gauges will stand out? Look no further, definitely the Defi Gauges which is my personally best. Defi-Link Meter BFs are electronic blacked out gauges which are high response and refined design. When the car is off they have a black face with no numbers on them. As soon as the car is turned on, the gauges light up and are in full affect. Gauge dials are invisible while the ignition switch is off. Once the ignition switch is turned on, a clear display appears with white LED illumination. A red emitting needle pointer increases visibility. The illumination color can be chosen between white and amber red. *The color cannot be changed. Gorgeous Opening mode and Ending mode. Defi - Defi-Link Meter BF

Uses of Strut Bars? Strut-bars reduce a vehicle's chassis flex by connecting the vehicle body at the shock towers for added stiffness. This Subaru strut bars vastly improve a car's road manners and handling characteristics, work with the factory suspension components, and are a MUST for road race applications or spirited drivers with heavily modified street vehicles.

HID (High Intensity Discharge) is a radically different type of lighting technology. HID lights operate more like vapor filled streetlights. Instead of heating a filament like standard halogen bulbs, HID bulbs create light by zapping an arc between two electrodes. The arc excites a mixture of Xenon gas and metallic salts, producing a bright white beam of light that resembles natural daylight. Bottom line, HID headlights provide better visibility than ordinary halogen bulbs. The difference is even more evident during poor driving conditions. A significant percentage of road accidents take place during inclement weather, especially at night. HID lights allow drivers to overcome these conditions by providing up to 3 times more light. Added visibility contributes to driver confidence, which provides for a more relaxed, safer driver. Remarkably, HID lights are able to provide greater light output with less power consumption . Studies show that a 35 Watt HID lamp produced 3 times ...
