 Forum: Miscellaneous, miscellaneous   Topic: Why does my car have 2 fuel-pumps?

That doesn't make sense at all. I mean there is no gain in having a second fuel pump that a single decent fuel pump cant do. Meaning, if ya need more power/fuel, ya press the accelerator harder which adds more air in the throttle so the fuel pump simply pumps more fuel in. I have heard of 2nd tanks ...

To me, that sounds quite odd for if a fuel pump is not working properly, ya either replace it or even better, upgrade it. Never needed a 2nd one that's for sure. If ya haven't tested the switch before, how do you know it's a 2nd pump? And concerning it losing power at corners, I also doubt that woul...

On that note, I do know about weight transfer, but what about could U explain the dynamic camber please? Not quite sure on that.

One thing I must say, I do understand the reasoning behind it and all, but you've basically said in one point of view that stiffer springs give better grip, and softer springs give better grip. :) I'm kinda guessing and please correct me if I'm wrong, but is it that the softer springs improve straig...

Never noticed before but the MG headlights look so much like from a BA model Ford Falcon.

Personally, I tried that a fair while back and found the car I bought lacked something as it was so very disappointed for buying a tune. But I did learn a thing or two from doing it then tuned up a car to my own specs according to the track and blew my times away as I made minor adjustments. But the...

I've tried creating a calculator kinda thing with excel for one of my builds and in the end, it doesn't work at all. I got a stock standard car and checked every upgrade possible and noted all changes that happens to the car including PI. I then transferred all my data to excel and then used it to t...

Me personally, I believe it's pretty much both. I mean, you can build a car to whatever specs you like, but ya gotta be able to handle it, and that requires tuning it to your driving style. Look at all the cars at the top, all the same and you can mimic the specs of the cars to have the same weight,...

That's the game I was talking about...also the show too. The car is doing all the accelerating n what-not, all the player is doing is the steering. :( LAME!

I saw a demonstration yesterday on Foxtel about this. It's now called 'Kinect'. It basically looks like it's going to make the Wii obsolete for all the games that it has available is basically better versions of the Wii games out now. Plus Lucas Arts are developing a proper game using the Kinect sen...

I don't know if there is any one technique to use or if mine is a good way or not, I just work out the top speed or at least an appropriate top speed for the track and then test out each gear one by one till I got the best performance I can get on track and according to the benchmark tests.

Mind U, their are some car conversions that do get done often in real life so that might not be completely unrealistic. Mt example is, I have a Mitsubishi GSR Turbo sitting in me shed that I've been working on for a while now, and one of my 'down the track' upgrades is an AWD conversion from an evo ...
