alright mate will that fit classic if so very interested

 

Sorry chap, already sold it

 

no probz m8

 

Evening all dropped my car of earlier and won't get her back till Wednesday now, although when she comes back she will be on coilovers and alloy droplinks

 

Well I've now got a hks silent power zorst on my classic and boy, is it quiet. When mark@Thwaites maps my simtek I will have some nice antilag going on. But I can't find any videos of what it will sound like with such a quiet zorst like mine. Anyone heard any or can find a YouTube vid?

 

Depending on your Mods a 3" turbo back will give you more freedom when you go bigger power, but loose a bit of torque lower down with the standard VF35, not that you would probably notice IMO.

 

one of the loudest because its one of the worst filtering filters going! Came second last in a filtering test, only behind the even more rubbish HKS mushroom!

 

Lol that doesn't surprise me. Mine didn't stay on long as it was so annoying and went straight back to airbox with panel filter since then.

 

Interestingly, a good friend of mine fitted a HKS mushroom filter on his car, he said it wasn’t running right so we hooked up the wideband and knock sensor and took it for a spin.

We found that at around 5k upward it was running really lean and knocking like mad.

Point im trying to make is, If you change your intake setup to anything other than the standard Air box, get it checked, NA cars not a big problem, Turbo Charged cars run the risk of running lean up top and detting your engine, the ecu can only do so much.

He's now running the Standard Air box with a K&N panel filter, Even that benefited with a tweak in the map.

 

I was just referring to the silenced 3" miltek and a H&S 3" centre and the only noticeable difference being sound.

 

Interesting, I've got a hks mushroom filter and mafless intake pipe ready to fit to mine when I get my simtek fitted and mapped. Are you saying this is a bad idea?

 

Morning peeps

 

Tom had one on his and its now removed but to be fair that was with the maf

Morning

 

I personally would not use a HKS mushroom.. the K&N cone filters are probably the only ones I would really trust. Probably actually cheaper than the mushroom too!

Apexi have very good filtration rates also, whilst maintaining a very good and high air flow.

 

morning folks

standard airbox FTW!

 

Right then boys.... I may have a slight problem i need help with, have made a guy an offer on some wheels, he has yet to come back to me, my wheels are on ebay and will def. sell as i have bids on them, my problem is if i sell them but dont buy the others it means my cars up on bricks

Has anybody got an old set of wheels i can borrow for a week or two, 2002 sti, may not need to yet, but just covering all Possibilities. Cheers.

anyone want a baby who wont let you get anything done

 

Yes mate it was the M42. I had a car full thanks for the wave

 

No problem, car looks really nice

 

AARRggghhhhhh [SOB SOB] My pal has just rang me, while he was replacing a wheel bearing he noticed a "dink" on the inside of one of the wheels, recons it is slightly buckled as well, so i am going to have to take these off ebay... so there goes my new ones
Life is soooooo crule sometimes

 

Already got one mate, and a 4 year old demanding attention. I might actually glad to go back to work next week!!

 

its not easy is it
wouldnt swap him for the world though

 

take a pic of it and update your ebay forsale post someone might still want them mate.

yes life is crule

 

Mafless is a good option, Mark will advise you anyway, check with him of your not sure.

 

I had a HKS mushroom on my sti when I first bought it, not only did it keep throwing my engine management light on but above 5k the power just died. The only advantage it did have was that it made my exhaust quite a bit louder and the induction noise was nice.

I soon ditched it and went for a standard airbox with a Do-Luck panel filter inside it which gave a proven 12.9bhp increase in Japanese performance magazine on a completely standard 2005 sti, and the power doesn't seem to drop off until close to the redline now either

 

It's awfully quiet on here tonight I might get the camera out in a bit and upload some pics of my car from when I had it in February and some pics of it now
