ditto on the bumper!!!

two weekends ago, i witnessed in horror, a botched attempt to reverse, when this middle-aged lady literally sank the tail corner rear bumper of her B12 Sunny right onto the front bumper of the Lancer, just below the front lamps.

i kept yelling - GET OFF MY BUMPER! wtf! watching my bumper sunk in and awaiting the cracked paint, dent, damage, etc.

as she pulled off and came out the car, i was saying - man oh man...
she said - let's see the damage...

and as we peered onto the bumper, not a scratch, dent, dimple, sink, NOTHING! I went over the area for minutes and couldnt find a single flaw.

so i endorse this point, this car's build composition appears ROCK SOLID!

anyonw find the auto wipe sensor a bit iffy? WRT sensivity adjustment?


did you know that there is sensitivity adjustment on the same lever? take a look @ the +/- settings which can adjust how sensitive the blades are to rainfall, pace, etc. i usually keep it at the centre tho...happy with the overall response.

yes i know about the sensitivity adjustment, but go out in rain and even when the rain stop to a mere scattered drizzle sometimes it keeps wiping too frequently or non stop even if you adjust the sensitivity to the minimum setting

yea it hurting me bad too i have two dings on my left broadside from that same sheit, got it on the ferry, transit parking in dem boats too damn close esp for these broader models, rel painfull to look at

btw at the risk of getting bashed, the seatbelt alarm for the drivers side is quite easy to disable, just look under the driver seat you will find the connector just unplug it

good luck with that n thier prices
if you get the hood let us know how much it cost

i found the K & N drop in at S.A.S racing in sando (Sherrifs) on cipero St
the girl say a 485 or something so i confirmed the part number with her thati got on the K & N site which is 33-2392

http://www.knfilters.com/search/appsearch.aspx

i see it have a typhoon kit on thier site (though rec for the 2.0 ) i wonder if this can work on the 1.5L and how much performance increase you will see if any
SHO?
Venum?
what r your thoughts on this?

also i thinking about disabling the delimiter who know how to go about doing this?

the angle of the trottle body is different between the 2.0 & 1.5 so it will not work also a lot of people complain about the typhoon set up

the filter is pretty easy to install, took like 2 minutes to install and I have noticed a marked improvment in my mileage. Maxing out at 182-185 therabouts, which is fast enough thanks much...I don't drive at speed though, not enough road and some idiots does see u coming up and just cut in front!!

make mines lancer forever!!!

lol 250 damn...

I remember the first time i fill up my tank from almost empty.. the dollars on the pump was just going up and up when it cross $180.00 I was like wdf lol

Anyhows I guess the install for the K&N drop in for the CY is just opening the two clips and pulling the original and replacing it with the K&N.

So no one answer meh question about the use of gears D3,2 & L ??


nsampath

Does the engine sound different with the K&N?

Correct on the replacment procedure...and no, no difference in sound with the filter, that would only occur if u swap exhaust and intake piping, which makes no sense on a new ride...can u say bye bye warranty Smile

The lower gears are for more power on inclines and such...and are not recommended for normal driving..leave it in D and be happy!

Ps guys, the best station for gas in north is the one by Valpark...i would have never thought so, but damn...i get like 600 on a full tank...worst so far..medford on the flyover...they have water contaminated crap (that from a brethern in NP!!!) - mine is the 1.5 btw...

yea that sucks, I was by grand bazzar lights waiting for it to turn green, heard a noise I was like wtf...

ignored it.. only to realize when i reach home was a stone or something hit my car. did your paint chip?

i need to put something on that chip so it would not get bigger.

I am thinking if I should buy one of those touch up paint kits/pens and fill the chips.

Anyone had any experience with those kits/pens? Any recommendations? Sad
