Bourkey Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 you will notice the difference when the cars lowered.i sticks to the road better.even with just lowering springs.30-40mm should be just right.or you could try and find some SR ones.ill have a look around the web to see if i can find any.

woody Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 got a new filter today makes it sound a whole lot better and the acceleration is on the up slightly got myself confused though on what i should do with, what i assume is a sensor, that plugs in to the original filter boxat the moment its just hanging but im not sure what it is so dont know if thats ok to do i assume it should be fine though but if anyone knows could you let me know pleaseanyway picture: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woody Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 might have to try that out just been out and gone over it with the wire brush and a bit of H2O for now looks better already but there was some nasty bits of dirt on therepossibly limescale if thats possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Limescale....?It's an engine, not a kettle :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 i would get the sensor back in mate. it sensors the air flow in the intake pipe and sends signals to the ecu. it works fine without it in but its best to get it in there to keep everything running at its best.filter looks cool, and although its not that bad under there it will look nice with the rocker cover done.

Idrees Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Nice, looks exactly like my cousins purple one under the bonnet! Same colour body, same filter, same filthyness (joke!!) and same colour battery!!Hang on...you sure thats your car? Get that cam cover sprayed mate it'll look nice And like Keirz said, i'd get the sensor back in. Cut a hole in the air pipe and just stick it in there, making sure its nice and tight and won't fly out of course!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 One more thing, use the old air feed pipe to help the filter get cold air, otherwise it'll just make your car more sluggy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you need this adapter thingy to make it work like that though? Because my brothers SR's sensor is different to mine, its like a pin whereas mines like a block, he said its because his has an adaptor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 had a bit of a mishap today story is my wheels were juddering a bit when i put the new ones on and i put it down to they might need balancingso i got them balanced and it didnt really helpanyway on the way home they started getting quite bad and then my car skidded out of control and i hit the central reservation luckily i hit no other cars and no one was injured so that was lucky and its all cosmetic damage and still drives fine and i have changed the wheels back because i dont want it happening againheres some pictures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Very harsh Woody man.But good to know that no-one was injured.Like I said, hope you can restore it to its former glory.Try and get the wheel problem sorted tho, doesnt sound right.All the best.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woody Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 its fine with the original wheels on mate it was just them wheels it was weird but once i hit 40 it would start to judder and around 55 it would start moving across the road a biti was only doing about 60 when it skidded out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
