well i wah go rwd too, but i cyah see that happening soon though, so i go see bout the fwd for the time. i thinking either sr20det or sr20ve, most likely it'll be det, with some suspension, brakes and mabey sum engine mods.
as for he intake, is cold or short ram? boi i see ah intake selling on e-bay for the car after i bought my K&N cone filter, doh forget, when u doing the intake, put the air temp sensor after the air flow, it minamises the chance of turbalance in the air stream thus preventing the air flow meter from taking wrong readings.

^^^ dat where our cars differ...

cacasplat3 · Posted: Sat Aug 12, 2006 5:31 pm Post subject:

so u doh have ah air tem sensor?
hmmmmmm, well when i put in the K&N i had to find a new place for the sensor, cuz it was placed before the airbox, so i had to cut a hole further down the intake, extend the wire and relocate the sensor. too much work for a simple job. Neutral

dat eh plenty work.. jus doe screw it up..

the intake i gonna do requires me to take out the complete air intake system and replace it with 3" piping... the sensor staying on wat its on..gonna use adapters to join it to the piping ...

as som1 in my other thread said.. cleaner flow of air to the TB....

not cleaner air eh!

denser Laughing

^^^^ well that's what i was told by K&N in an e-mail and also by andy from mini city in valpark(where i got the filter) i didnt want to risk it, so i did as they advised me.

i never really did any research on it, but seeing that the original location of the air temp. sensor was being removed, i had to put it back into the intake somehow, so i put it after the MAF as advised.

at rodney said.. get it done de proper way.. them engine eh no normal engine!

cacasplat3 · Posted: Fri Aug 18, 2006 6:08 pm Post subject:

the mech capable. reason i couldnt get the car done today was cuz he had about 12 cars in the yard, and he just did 2 swaps, and a 3rd was in progress. he is ah boss mech.
i hope i eh have to go through ah alternator removal. that thing in one queer place.

when my old man brought home the far the first time, b4 i popped the hood he said "boi it eh have space fuh ah screwdriver"
the man eh lie yes.
alluh ever try changing fan belts? the one in the back, not the one fuh the AC compressor. the other one? i have no clue where the ajuster is for it, so i ended up leaving its ass right there. changing the other one was ah breeze, but that one is stress.
as fuh the oil leak, it coming from sumwhere behind the oil filter mounting. i thought it was the oil pan at first, so i took it down, cleaned the surface and re-sealed it. leak still persisted, when i gone back under the car i see where it coming from. i think is sum o-ring or sumthing in the oil pump.
monday i'll know
