Not good paul :(
There are 2 Lambda's, 1 pre cat and 1 post cat. If you havent noticed a big drop in fuel economy then it makes the pre cat lambda a less likely cause, and the post cat is purely to turn the dash light on.
If theres anything I can help with let me know, not spoke in a while!
Thought I'd track the changes my car has taken over the last 8 or so months since I bought it, and the changes I have had with it!
Started off 99% bog standard inAug 08, with just a 307 splitter fitted:
Had done 35070 miles when I collected it :)
Next change were some Eiback...
Sportlines in my opinion are awesome, I went sportlines>H&R's>AST's now iv got some more sportlines in the post, best price v performance I think.
I would get some AST topmounts too, so you have a bit of adjustability in Geometry, which is where I will go with mine I think.
Get it pro set-up...
I went from 182 cup wheels to lightweight 15' ones.
Saved 24kgs overall including tyres, handling was a bit more improved, more responsive.
Plus going to 195/50/15's gives a bigger sidewall, so a bit comfier on the roads.
Thanks for the info Ben.
Do you have mapping facilities at yours (assuming this is where fitting will take place) so it could potentially be a drive in standard drive out modded car within a few hours?
Or will a trip to RSTuning be mandatory?
I mean general information about the benefits of this type of set up compared to the standard intake, I know you havent released much about this particular one yet.
An hour, may as well be fitted by you then haha if I decide to go ahead with one.
I take it cams would compliment well at a...
:S
Any where I can find a bit more info about it, the inlet teact i mean, my google searches arent returning much.
So a steady weekends work?
Possible mod for the future as the not gonna sell the car now, I'll see the kind of gains and driveability people get :)
Thanks for the info.
Just so I know I'm on the right lines here, the point of this and ITB's is because the inlet tract of the air coming into the engine is a lot shorter, and a lot more direct compared the the standard intake (which has loads of 90 degree bends in all directions) which means the air is smoother...
It will do, i dunno whether to go anthracite or bright bright silver though when they do get redone?
As said, good job they didnt cost much to be done.
Got no money or time for the next few weeks mate, it will be rectified don't worry, but perfection takes time :)
Sportlines bought, hopefully have them before this weekend if I get lucky then I'll fit them when I get some free time.
In the flesh they are a bad cross between the original...
Len, for cost v performance I'd vote sportlines all day and night to be honest. The H&R's were really good, but I found the front a little soft and the back a little hard and crashy. The AST's are in another world in all honesty, superb piece of kit in my opinion, not cheap but worth it if you...
I bet mate, looks better than your old one!
Ladybower?
Possibly, depends on work, gf, or something else im sure i should be doing on sunday that i cant remember....!
Thanks Warren, but won't be doing them anytime soon, just picked the wheels and got the tyres on today, and I can't be bothered to do any more with them yet, im too annoyed about them!
May take you up on the offer in a few months though?! :)
Ah I get you, they were off not long after that and were at the powdercoaters so was running my 15's with yoko paradas.
They will last me a decent amout of time, you bought some new ones yet?
It looks high compared to the ASt's luke, and thats what hurts deep inside :( Sportlines will help a...
I'll try and get some better pictures as they are a bit more agreeable in person as said earlier, i'm hoping a bit lower on sportlines will pull them off a bit better with being a wierd colour.......could be the next Cliosport must have?!
Liam, how you mean about the Toyo's?! They've only done...
I was coming to markeaton island heading towards ashbourne road/town.
Was in the Clio but was a fair bit of traffic around, just spotted you in between them!
They look less primer-ish to be fair in real life, but still not the silver i asked for.
Will get them redone at some point, but for now it will stay.
Can't get the V-maxx for cupped 182's otherwise I probably would, sportlines will do for now though.
Thanks for rubbing it in Dan :(
it's a 99 R6.
AST's won't come again, as good as they are I won't get the use from them as the bike is the new toy!
I've gone Cup suspension > Sportlines > H&R's > AST's > Cup suspension > Sportlines now haha!
Yeah i'm not sure on them either way to be honest :S
Well bought an R6 for fun, so car was going to standard to pay for it, then thought I may as well sell up and buy a cheap runner, but i love it too much!
Just bought some sportlines too i think, miiiiiiint :D
Changed a bit over the last month. AST's are off and sold, standard height sucks so I think I'll order some sportlines in a second, let it sit a bit nicer.
Turinis were meant to be anthracite, took the powdercoaters 3 weeks to do them the wrong colour, so told them to redo them in silver and...
