lol I keep watching that video, and I swear EVERY TIME I think you are going to hit that car haha. Amazing the car stopped that quickly! That or its a depth perception issue from the video, making it look real close

Lol who cares honestly, car looks too good. I just asked because I know youre supercharged. All the driveshaft does is decrease the rotational mass, so it revs a little faster and has a little less power loss through the drivetrain. I only did it because i had a 2011 v6 and i was scared the stock one would explode
Burton, you explained everything exactly right.. So if I understand correctly, you weren't getting enough airflow to your Corsa's due to the shorter exhaust path from the sides that I assume provided very little or no backpressure at all resulting in losing your low end torque which does appear to make sense..
Therefore the restrictor plates give you back the backpressure and low end torque you lost when the sides were open.. So seems to me the plates work somewhat similar like a catted x or h pipe does in creating enough backpressure for providing low end torque, but once you remove the cats you end up losing low end torque because there is no longer enough backpressure or resistance anymore..
Anyway, I hope my comparison between the restrictor plates and catted H/X pipe are at least somewhat accurate lol.
As for the Spyder pics.. Yes, as soon as I get them installed, I will definitely post them..

I never used my Brembos that much until that stop LOL. At least they work. Yeah for about 15 minutes there were no cars, then that one showed up. But I knew I had that stop sign anyways... I was stopping regardless.

SUPERCHARGED RED ROCKET ------------------Master-Moderator
Anyway to answer you question.. My car is lowered with the Eibach pro kit springs which lowers my front between approx 1.3-1.4" and the rear by up to 1.5".. I also have the Koni yellow adj struts/shocks and GT500 strut mounts along with Eibach camber bolts and BMR poly adj panhard bar..
My next mods on the list.. BMR poly LCA's and relocation brackets, then plan on eventually upgrading to BMR front and rear sway bars as well..

Took mine out for a nice cruise/drive.
Great night for a drive. Hopefully I can take her out tomorrow as well.

I had some carbon fiber vinyl that I wrapped on my spoiler. It was definitely a difficult endeavor, as it was my first time wrapping anything. Had my ice help out with getting some of the bubbles out. I think it looks okay. I like the contrast.

after lots of swearing and literal blood and sweat. I replaced my front passenger o2 sensor. If anyone plans on tackling it....best of luck. Remove the battery and battery tray, it will make things a tad easier.
