    Nick....with the "hp" fraction gain you hope to get with a new hood/bonnet the drag created by it (if it has a scoop) will pretty much cancel that out....but it'll look a lot cooler, haha

    Car's lookin good man!

    Induction

    Thanks for the tip rye lol ow and dan its a induction kit from america i brought of ebay. the company is called chrome intakes and they supply a pod maf addapter and peice of aluminium pipe for roughly $80 AU Including postage. But the reason i said it made my car feel more engine light was because it really was a big improvement to my car. But there ya go

    Got a link for the intake?

    Well it'll help get cold air to the intake so that's good... Not sure how much hp you expect to get off a scoop though.....if anything it'll just help the engine stay a bit cooler and run a bit better.

    Nice work. I would have gone with a NACA duct instead to ensure that there was no drag, but I'm guessing it would have been a lot more difficult to do.

    Looks mint. You dont want every1 at school to see it yet? In grade 12? I finished last year...

    3 Things.

    1) Get the factory front Lip, colour code it and fit it..

    2) Lows or superlows

    3) Paint the headlights black to match!

    damn that is a hell of a scoop. and is it just me or is god blessing your car in this picture? :priest: (finally found a reason to use this emoticon)
     
  12. nickst162

    nickst162 Active Member

    Yeah

    Yeah it sort of does look like god is blessing my car but unfortunatley no. anyways dan i dont want every one in my year 12 class seeing it until it is completely done so if they wanna give me shit about having a cars from the 80s im just gonna say well look at this. i swear year 12 is stressfull. ohh and dan yeah im gonna lower it a bit with whiteline springs. so when i get the whiteline sway bar for the front im gonna get spring for front and rear

    Im liking the sound of that. Get the front lip man, would look awesome! Iv found a few in wreckers so far, thanks to the 3SGE's oil problems, lots of the SX's end up in the wreckers without being crashed!

    Everyone thought I had the coolest car in school when i had the lancer lol....School finished before i got the celica...
     
  14. nickst162

    nickst162 Active Member

    Lancer

    lol yeah if you had the celica they'd think your even cooler ohh and believe it or not im the only one in my year who owns thier own car more powerfull than a getz lol yeah oil issues are terible in our cars i reckon at the end of this year ill just upgrade to a 3rd gen 3sge. ohh and with the lip thing im thinking alltrac body kit or a replacement lip

    0-100

    Yeah dan mine hit 0-100 in like 7-8 seconds if i floor mine it goes through the rev range to quickly and the torque steer is good not to much but just enough
    ohh and quick question tommorow im doing an oil change cause i got a new filter should i put 4.5 litres in it or the whole 5 liters cheers guys

    NickST162

    Damnit. Why's mine so slow!? Changed the coil today,no better. Going to grab some perfect black carpet for 17 bucks from the wreckers, il grab a few ECU's to try. All thats left is ECU, Igniter, injectors and possibility of blocked cat for my performance prob. Should I get a set of genie extractors off a 162 there? Does it bolt up to the stock exhaust?
     
  19. nickst162

    nickst162 Active Member

    genie extractors yeah they bolt up no modification needed so dan should i use 4.5 liters of oil or 5 liters when i do my oil change tommorow

    Reckon the Genies would makea diff in sound?

    Just fill it till it reads full on the dipstick man. Then after driving it again and letting it cool again, id check it again, coz it will use a little filling the filter.
