[moved] Wats The Best Induction Kit For The 2.8 VR
Seademon replied to kamz's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Ha! My HKS does that - you can kind of hear the sound bouncing off the buildings! I've made a group of girls scream and 1 man fall over so far! [ Edited Mon Mar 21 2005, 08:35PM ] -
3 words - can of worms! :0)

Does removing the cat make much difference.
Seademon replied to DommyVR6's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
I was meant to pick it up today and Im out straight after work tonight so Im picking it up tomorrow morning - Im sure it will sound good though & give me a couple of bhp in with the deal - it went in with half a tank of Optimax so I'll be taking the long way home! I dont have to worry about the MOT either cos I've known the bloke whos working on it for a while and he does the testing and said there wont be a problem in passing it Hopefully he can find what causing my judder/misfire aswell - hes gonna put the diagnostics on it once the exhaust is all back together. -

The Sebring was on the car when I bought it - my whole system comprises of The Cat (which is gone now) small VW Silencer then a Sebring box & the Sebring backbox - I'll see what its like, I wouldnt mind changing it to a full stainless system but will leave it for now :0) -
I'd go for the 355 @ Goodwood - The 355 is one of my fave Ferrari's and Goodwood is the only track I've heard of out of the ones listed buts its good track to drive

I had loads of swirl marks and dead paint on mine when I got it so went to Halfords and bought some Autoglym Paint Renovator and Super Resin Polish and it bought it all up nicely! Once its warm and sunny I might invest in some Meguiars for the Summer if it will make that much difference.

Hi Warren - Im taking it off and having a pipe made to replace it - after the cat theres a VW silencer and after that its all Sebring but I might change that later on when I've looked at whats available but Im not going to look right now because as soon as I look at something I end up buying it & Im skint!

Me and a few mates have made up a ring challenge to see who can do the fastest lap of the ring using the Escort Cosworth rally Car with no aids like traction control etc & on medium tyres so far Im quickest with a laptime of 7.48.813 - takes some practice to get a lap time like that! Im so caught up trying to get the fastest time round the ring the only car I've bought is an R32 Skyline & done the begginer races and licenses - Gonna try and get the R32 Golf this weekend - You can probably tell that I like the game I cant wait to get some faster cars - they all handle like the real

Seademon replied to DommyVR6's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
I was at the garage today when we took the cat off - we started it up to see what it sounds like without an exhaust :@ It almost deafened me! When it starts it really bursts into life like: BANG!!! Then a loud burble - far tooooo loud to drive! Looked at my cat - looks really restrictive inside - get the car back on Sat so I'll let you know what differences there are 8) -

Was looking at my mates cossie today - he has a K&N cone on his car and his has a hole in the back of the filter & he says its for the oil breather pipe. -

I've found that build quality of the Jap cars is no where near as good as the German cars - a mate of mine had a Pulsar GTIR & another has 200 SX - both fast but interior and general quality wasnt all that compared to my VR6. Jap cars are fast & look ok but I'd rather have a bit of under-rated style with the power not something that some chav is gonna style his VTS on. Theres something about a German car that I cant quite put my finger on - also, I find German cars have more room inside & being 6'3 thats quite handy - in my mates 200SX my knees are on the dash when someones in th

Ooooh just-in time (get it?) ha ha sorry! I was gonna order some of these plates at the weekend from Dubmeister - thanks for the warning, one less thing I have to moan about! Thats a great site - they do look good! Does anyone know if its possible to get a set with the german inspection/government details on aswell or is that a no go on the German look plates for the Uk? The inpection/government details are the 2 round circles on the plates. I can ask them but I'll probably get a quicker response here [ Edited Tue Mar 15 2005, 08:23PM ]

Mine didnt work on just the ambient temp but I re-set the ECU when I replaced my Impulse Sensor and it worked after that but has stopped again - you could try that? Disconnect the battery for 20 mins or so to reset the ECU

Warren mail me the clip if you can! My cats coming off on Thursday! -
Does sound a bit high - mine sits 3000 @ 70Mph so it wont be much more than that, definately not 4500Rpm - as Shail said his sits at 3100 so I would imagine most VR's will be around the same but if you have a non-standard gearbox it'll be different.

My Car Sounds Like An Impreza
Seademon replied to Seademon's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Could it be the canister purge valve? I read on another post and the guy had exactly the same symptoms - my cat convertor also smells a lot when its misfiring. I didnt have the fault codes checked - just removed the impulse sensor, cleaned up the s/h one and fitted it to see if there was any difference what so ever but there didnt seem to be.
