I have been speaking with Starbus and we can possibly get a group buy for some 4EFE exhaust manifolds. They will be made from stainless steel and priced somewhere above £200. I know there are other N/A drivers who would like a decent exhaust manifold without having to go for one that was designed for the 5EFE, so who would be interested in this? It's not a definate yet, just gauging interest. So who's interested? 1. ste91 2. 3. 4. 5.

hahaha!

Nah it's ok I've got him now, have been having PM conversation but couldn't reply... box full. Sorted now though and hopefully he'll be making some 4EFE exhaust manis.

but the cat is causing a restriction !

lol you need to get it decatted

Why rip yourself off? A flake has more bhp than a Corsa.

Empty your PM box

Not usually a fan of silver Glanzas but it looks really good now. Don't like that Escalade though... American crap. And useless.

Might aswell change it for a better one while the head is off rather than going for OEM.

lol should have gone up and knocked on his window... KNOCK KNOCK? WHO'S THERE? YOUR BOTTOM END

for some reason my pictures are all at dodgy angles :S

Some stickers are fine but shopping lists are fucking annoying and look shite. my 2p

good luck mate hopefully it will be fine

The colour of this makes me think of it as a squashed subaru

"TD04 ennit?"

I thought a trip like this was already being organised?

Aslong as curved and not a square 90 degree bend then it should be fine. The other thing though is it should be a smooth surface, no bumps as they cause restrictions to the airflow. And remember you will need to plug the air temperature sensor in there too (it's easy though, just drill a hole in the pipe, take the rubber bung thing out of the original airbox and cram it in the hole, then stick the sensor in the bung).

How hard is it to change a head gasket? Could someone with fairly decent mechanical knowledge do it themselves or would a proper mechanic need to do it? From what I can see, the TRD headgaskets aren't that expensive in comparison to some other mods, and even if it's a small increase - every little helps.

If he didn't want a coupe/saloon then a GT would fit the criteria...

Are lightened pulleys and flywheel as good as people say? Or is it just another one of those things that are highly over rated? If it's possible to make the engine rev more freely and get up to higher revs easier then I can't see there being a problem. I actually prefer peaky engines, but I just don't want to end up losing all the low end torque/power and having something that's completely useless at low revs. But on the other hand, getting off from 1st gear doesn't take long and once you're up to speed you're only a downshift away from being in the powerband. If I was to go much further

If the bend is mandrel bent then it's fine, and the length shouldn't be a problem at all. Putting both of those problems together - look at the standard airbox setup. It's full of bends and the piping (if you were to straighten it all out) is actually quite long. So either way you'll have less overall length and less bends. The biggest problem with open filters like this is heatsoak and getting a decent amount of "cold" air to them, but it looks like you have that sorted. What is the heat shield covering though? Because you will be quite close to 1. the exhaust manifold and 2. the radiator.

It would be nice but then what about people who are selling ALOT of things? They would have to post things in individual topics in the different subforums...

lol don't take that bottom line too seriously I love it too, don't get me wrong it's fucking great fun but I plan to go for alot more mods, exhaust, manifold, maybe ported head, headgasket, lightweight pulleys etc... and don't want it to turn out a bag of shit.
