  1. god daaaamn... can any one pass the tissues ? awesome photos guys.good to see enzos in some proper photos finally. both v's look amazing!
  2. nice euro style kits.. shame there on japanese cars and not french ones.
  3. you should feel the difference but wont know untill its been on a rr. you dont really need the fuel pump and rrfpr if your still running under fuel cut though matey. unless you plan to raise the boost higher than 0.8 or go for a hybrid / bigger turbo.
  4. 2 hours ;) my slag only takes 3 minutes with a garden watering can haha
  5. if i was going for a k24, id go for a standalone ecu mate unless your on about the emanage ultimate. wouldnt waste your money on a blue with a k24
  6. if your going to do it, make sure you buy a proper kit. with the new linkage mechanism. otherwise it wont sweep properly.
  7. meee if the v's back together. ;)
  8. its paint matey. due to me scratching mine by accident ;) only french cars have stickers *spits*
  9. green ep91 sr? maybe going past the sansperil pub. towards wainscott. tryed following him in hope of a chat, but due to the fact i was in mums lump of metal (406 diesel) i wasnt going any where fast lol i swear to god if i see it next time ill slap a UKSTARLETCLUB.COM card under his wiper ;)
  10. ;) i love you man. come give me some lurvin
  11. why do touring cars use single wipers ? you get a better view from the windscreen with just a single wiper. not 2 blades flying over the screen. i had one on my old saxo. actually cleared the screen better than the twin setup. its personal opinion though
  12. good man. you got spraying equipment and a suitable place to spray it ?
  13. lambda as oli's problem was. OR many other things. but dont rule the sneeky little lambda out lurking , hiding waiting to spring a problem on yo ass!
  14. awesome mate. some good work there. did you do the conversion ? also what camber are you running? obviously neutral camber settings will gain full traction in a straight line, but fuck cornering with it lol. are you dragging or tracking it ?
  15. thanks to a website. The exhaust gas oxygen sensor (EGO or O2), or lambda sensor, is the key sensor in the engine fuel control feedback loop. The computer uses the O2 sensor's input to balance the fuel mixture, leaning the mixture when the sensor reads rich and richening the mixture when the sensor reads lean. Lambda sensors produces a voltage signal that recognises the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust. An oxygen sensor is essentially a battery that generates its own voltage. When hot (at least 250 degrees c.), the zirconium dioxide element in the sensor's tip produces a voltage that varies according to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust compared to the ambient oxygen level in the outside air. The greater the difference, the higher the sensor's output voltage. Sensor output ranges from 0.2 Volts (lean) to 0.8 Volts (rich). A perfectly balanced or "stoichiometric" fuel mixture of 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel gives an average reading of around 0.45 Volts. The lambda sensor's output voltage doesn't remain constant, however. It flip-flops back and forth from rich to lean. Every time the voltage reverses itself and goes from high to low or vice versa, it's called a "cross count." A good O2 sensor on a injection system should fluctuate from rich to lean about 1 per second. If the number of cross counts is lower than this, it tells you the O2 sensor is getting sluggish and needs to be replaced. Most lambda sensors will cycle from rich to lean in about 50 to 100 milliseconds, and from lean to rich in 75 to 150 milliseconds. This is referred to as the "transition" time. If the O2 sensor is taking significantly longer to reverse readings, this too is an indication that it is getting sluggish and may need to be replaced. Observing the sensor's waveform on a scope is a good way to see whether or not it is slowing down with age. If the sensor becomes sluggish, it can create hesitation problems during sudden acceleration. Drivability Symptoms A lambda sensor's normal life span is 30,000 to 50,000 miles. But the sensor may fail prematurely if it becomes clogged with carbon, or is contaminated by lead from leaded petrol or silicone from an antifreeze leak or from silicone sealer. As the sensor ages, it becomes sluggish. Eventually it produces an unchanging signal or no signal at all. When this happens, the Check Engine Light may come on, and the engine may experience drivability problems caused by an overly rich fuel condition. Poor fuel economy, elevated CO and HC emissions, poor idle, and/or hesitation during acceleration are typical complaints. If the average voltage from the lambda sensor is running high (more than 0.50V), it indicates a rich condition, possibly due to a bad MAP, MAF or Air Flow sensor or leaky injector. If the average voltage reading is running low (less than 0.45V), the mixture is running lean possibly due to a vacuum leak or because the sensor itself is bad. If the lambda sensor continually reads high (rich), it will cause the engine computer to lean out the fuel mixture in an attempt to compensate for the rich reading. This can cause lean misfire, hesitation, stumbling, poor idle and high hydrocarbon emissions (from misfiring). If the lambda sensor continually reads low (lean), it will cause the engine computer to richen the fuel mixture. Injector pulse width will increase causing fuel consumption and carbon monoxide emissions to go up. Constant rich fuel mixture can also cause the catalytic converter to overheat and it may be damaged. If the lambda sensor's output is sluggish and does not change (low cross counts & long transition times), the engine computer will not be able to maintain a properly balanced fuel mixture. The engine may run too rich or too lean, depending on the operating conditions. This, in turn, may cause drivability problems such as misfiring, surging, poor idle, and high emissions. If a heated sensor has a faulty heating circuit or element, the sensor can cool off at idle causing the system to go into open loop. This usually results in a fixed, rich fuel mixture that will increase emissions. Sometimes an apparent lambda sensor problem is not really a faulty sensor. An air leak in the intake or exhaust manifold or even a fouled spark plug, for example, will cause the lambda sensor to give a false lean indication. The sensor reacts only to the presence or absence of oxygen in the exhaust. It has no way of knowing where the extra oxygen came from. So keep that in mind when diagnosing oxygen sensor problems. The lambda sensor is also grounded through the exhaust manifold. If rust and corrosion of the manifold gaskets and bolts is creating resistance, it may affect the sensor's output. To rule out a bad ground, use a digital volt meter to check for a voltage drop between the sensor shell and the engine block. More than 0.1v can cause a problem.
  16. you shouldnt get any boost creep with just an induction filter on. be it either external cone or internal panel filter. if you do you have a problem with your wastegate lol heatsoak is a major issue with fitting an induction filter on in place of the airbox, really if you want an open filter you should locate it straight off the turbo, to the front grill along with porting the wastegate. OR panel filter the air box
  17. ecksjay should make a guide of how to slag the starbos purist style follow the front wiper arms down and to the engine bay, you will see a little cap. flat head screw driver to prise them off, then theres a nut holding the arms onto the wiper motor splines. think its a 12mm, cant remember. undo that and et voila. arm off lol.try not to move the arm round because when you put them back on, an turn the wipers on they will fly off the side of the windscreen lol. which is amusing. same for the rear, follow it down , ping the cap off which covers the spline nut. put some loctite on them when they go back on otherwise the nuts work loose.
  18. god damn i love slaggedness any engine bay shots?
  19. throw a picture up of them once you have them fitted bro. i love buddy club rims
  20. nice gt. best colour of them all id say though i am biased i suppose
  21. a faulty lambda sensor would make it missfire, and judder extremely. and then it would chuck the eml on. run some redex through it too
  22. LOL @PRANGERS you nutter dude. did it knock the wall down ? or fire through and into what evers behind it like a scudd missile ?
  23. if there 15" itll definately be fine matey. bigger rims you get, the more spot on offsets you will need. otherwise youll end up running spacers, which isnt what you want
