Title: Found a 1990 GSXR rear wheel and sundries
Post by: Dazza57 on June 01, 2011, 07:45:16 AM
 :good2: Sounds like I've got the mod bug bad !!  :) Got to fix the bad back firing, gonna fit new exhaust gaskets and then a carb rebuild. Just had the first clutch slip with my son on the back, needed to impress him (he has a modded WRX Subaru, dynoed 290 rwbhp ) As expected, he was suitably impressed. Gonna fit constant rate springs and waiting for Randy's new type emulators before fitting the whole lot.
Hell, I can't believe the amount of info on this site, hats off to all those that conceived and implemented it. Absolutely awesome !!!
:good:

Nice! I'm fitting up my 5.5" rear wheel today and I look forward to feeling the difference. Out of curiosity you measured your sons wrx's power in rwhp does that mean he's converted it to just rear wheel drive?

No he hasn't, apparently the dyno only measures the rear wheels

Sorry, I was wrong, it was measured at all 4 wheels  :dash2:

Nice figure at all four, my old man just got a brand spankin WRX. I don't think he's too keen to mod it but if I just start sending him parts from japan he might take the hint  :biggrin:

Thought this combo of WRX and motorcycle related footage was relevant

At the verge of control and sideways, swerving back and forth at 100+ MPH -that'll leave streaks in the tighty whities....
