ehh stang is faster, more MPG, faster top speed with the WRX though..

$8,439.91 including a procharger to get it to low 12's lol.

[ricksi30 923]

Yeah I hear ya. Why did you buy the 6 if you were worried about speed?

[Tirefryr 1,742]

He wasn't worried about speed then. Just keep in mind, if you dump all that money into the Mustang, you will never get it back. The Subaru will ALWAYS have better resale than a V6 Mustang.

Why would you trade down? The only reason to be interested in that car ever is if you NEED awd. The interior sucks, its loud as hell, it is FAR from a drivers car, and it looks like some high school kids idea of how to apply speed fixes to a Honda civic. Outside of having both front and real axles provide propulsion it is really a step in the wrong direction.

I'm opening up the back of the kicks, so I figured I wouldn't have to. No?

Then buy an older Mustang.

Resale and money lost on a car should never be calculated any by any formula except: buying price - selling price. You can choose to amortize the repairs in the buying price or not, but that makes it more of a prediction. Adding operational cost and insurance and such is also of interest.

Either way, I'd actually own a Mustang. No way in hell would I own that Subbie.

Going to need a bigger opening than most would if that's the case. If you have no volume in the enclosure then you can't have flow restrictions either.

At the same time, make sure your driver is IB friendly then that you put in there. I just figured that you were making your kicks so big because they were to be enclosures. I also know that I've seen things (can't remember what as it wasn't on purpose) that digest expanding foam and thought maybe you knew something that wouldn't hurt the mdf and would digest the foam which would make that process even better. Pretty sure that would require a liquid though so you'd have to seal your mdf rings first...but again thought you knew of something that I didn't that would make a few things I'd like to work on easier.

Speaking of fast cars. Yesterday on my way home, I had some fun with a new corvette. Of course I'm not comparing cars, but I got him to "show off", and I'd slowly catch up.

I have fun at every stoplight.

I've heard of solvents doing such, but haven't looked into. I think Ryan said gasoline works. Just going to be a mess to clean up. The drivers are IB oriented, so I'm definitely opening the back. I can also stick the dremel in the sides, it won't gain a ton of volume, but a bit more.

I should have curved the pods a little more, but I was staying away from that volcano look.

Do you think a 3" diameter cutout, offset behind the motor by an inch or two, would suffice?

I'm actually pretty happy where I live, slightly rural. I get to take a few slightly windy roads with zero traffic, triple digits for a few minutes to get it out of my system is always good.

[///M5 2,833]

I'd try to make the vent the size of the driver if possible. Less is okay, but if you go too far then you will start to approach something in between a standard IB enclosure and a very small volume enclosure with a slightly aperiodic vent.

*if the sealed volume of that driver is appropriate for what you already have I'd try that first though.
