Apologies for dragging up an old post but you can't get these in the UK from anywhere as far as I know (not enough sun to warrant them LOL ) The £ to $ at the moment is pretty good so $340 doesn't sound too bad. Oscar, did you get anywhere with updated cheaper freight prices? And if not, how much do...

ditto, those are the shizz.

Lovin' the 'starion' script too :) it doesnt come any more 80's than that, well done for keeping it like that!

fuelling is way off but cant be helped til the leak is sorted.

Shes just been on the rolling road. Ok before you all laugh cos you have big power starions, mines pretty standard and I took her up cos she has a problem and shes been majorly down on power and the turbo was whistling real bad. Sooo turns out its good news. Its just an air leak. I didnt find it bef...

Is your exhaust reasonably quiet? The muffler looks large In a word, no. It was on when I bought the car, its a 2 1/2" powerflow stainless system right to that backbox. It can be loud but thats the pedestrians problem. I can't afford to change it right now, plus I'm not sure I wanna. It's not ...

That last pic looks sweet. Cant beat a bit of hacking. Mine wont be as tidy as that when I'm done :D Actually, if you just remove the rubber trim from the lip, just under the windscreen side of the bonnet, you'll get the same flow... :? Maybe, but I heard from Rogercordia that every mm up it goes ad...

Who cares, it looks angry LOL No seriously, I can see the heat rippling out when I'm driving and when I stop and put my hand over it yo ucan feel the ho tair coming out. So I just think, thats hot air that would have been in the engine bay, can only be a good thing. Never had overheating issues but ...

Just a coupla pics, I've been messing with her today. I cut the nasty plate housing off a while back, but today I took Dremel to the bumper and cut away to the level of the intercooler. Started filling but then it chucked it down. Just need to finish filling and smoothing and spray it, then I'm gonn...

I've seen him on UK lancer forums etc. Just blurting straight out with his "hey everyone I have the best you will cry when you see it you will say OMG its FWD and slower than my evo but you wont laugh when you see me pass you on the strip people will say damn how does he get those times well I ...

check if BOV is closing properly and when is should... the vacuum hose for the BOV... which side of the throttlebody is it going to? Check the vacuum line to see if it have any kinks in it or that it doesn't have a cable tie on it too tight which is restricting supply bov vac goes to bottom take of...

yeah, present and correct, nice and shiny and spins easy.

noticed it whines after b.o.v does its work. if it was an air leak then it wouldn't continue when no pressure in the system?

so leaning toward it being the turbo?

also, thanks a lot guys, you are all top fellas, cheers

I did all the vac lines ages ago and were fine, except for two - the one from the inlet to the MAP sensor that goes across the bulkhead, and the one from the bottom take off point on inlet, that goes to the EGR valve? however, I've just put the old ones back on (they are actually bigger ID) but it d...

I thought maybe the wastegate was jamming open - but then I wouldnt show boost would I? and its all mechanical, just a spring itsnt it - so how could that have been affected by me messing with vacuum lines and stuff? Ahhhh Its driving me crazy I keep going to look at it but I cant see any difference...

Ok, last night the car worked fine. this morning I replaced some Vac hoses, exactly as they were. Now car isnt working and I'm flumuxed. car drived normally, no stuttering or anything, but as soon as it reaches 0psi a whining noise starts, by the time the guage is registering around 10 its deafening...

I'm at work but this should do just above the blue hose coming out the turbo, its the bit with the cables going into it on the front side of suspension turret, half hidden by the intercooler hose. Thats where I wanna mount the oil catch can when I cut the airbox up. I'm assuming that you dont know t...
