Steelies are fun!!

just put on the stock steelies on the fronts yesterday becase I was bored. I noticed that they seem to attract more people to try to race me now . when I had my alloys on, nobody ever tried to race or anything but within a day with the steelies, I already had a cavalier, civic and today a passat try to race me.


one question, the passat sounded like it was turbo'd not shure but when he did the ricer fly-by, it sounded like he had a BOV but it went off like 4 times but I dont think she shifted much. not shure if it was one of those electric BOV with the speaker or what but it sounded like something wierd.

A short ram intake does create whistles when the throttle plate is in action.

No, there was no whistling sound. I heard this high pitched "pssiiit" kinda hard to explain but it sounded like a bird chirping or something. I dont know much about turbos and BOVs but im thinking he had a ricer electronic speaker BOV becasue it went of so many times when he drove by
