Yeah a mate said he saw that under cover Late model camira chasing a XR6T past autobahn but the cop was struggling to keep up. Dunno how it turned out.

Should be able to recognise me around town now

Have you tried losening the spring in the BOV? Sounds like it's to tight and it's not venting.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I think I'll leave out the springs and cat but keep the funds aside as ms said, and dirty excuse my ignorance and slackness to search the forums but what is a UBP and what does it do? Wow if I have to replace so much just to get to 270 I spose I might as well go 300 or so. And sorry if the thread seems like a repeat of that one you linked hanra, but I heard there were some differences between BA-BF regarding springs, cat and so on so I wanted to make sure .

Mmk well I suppose I'll have to get the springs then because I don't want to compromise reliability. And a new Cat would be a maybe?

So I'll need to do the valve springs pretty early?

Hi all, I'm looking to eventually get some more grunt out of my T so I want to kind of get an idea of what I'll need. I don't want to go crazy with the power, probably just 270-280 so that I can have a firm win over some of the newer V8's at stock Heres all I think I'll need to get those figures. Bosh 968 Injectors Flash Tuner (Custom Tune) A cheap I/C (probably a $300 Monza/Wog one) to keep temps down a bit. From what I've read on the forums so far that's all I think I'll need. My understanding is that Valve springs aren't need till you start pushing higher than 270rwkw, same with Cat am I right? Just looking for advice on anything else that I will/won't need, specs in my sig. Much appreciated,

I did this BOV venting mod today and I'll give my thoughts. Keep in mind I've got an Auto. This is a pretty sweet mod IMO. Was easy enough to do, you really only need a rubber stopper and 1 hose clamp to hold the filter on. The sounds is a pssscchht that is only really audible from inside the cabin and isn't overly loud . I had to turn the radio off to hear it but you can definetely hear it if your listening for it. Had a mate stand on the road while I drove past and let it blow but he said he could barely hear the psschht over the sound of the turbo spooling and the turbo flutter. The only time you'll her this mod with an auto is when your hard on the throttle and then you take your foot of quickly. If your driving normally (not going over 3k rpm and driving slowly) you wont hear it at all. Also if your parked and you rev the engine you wont hear it either. I like this mod because you can show off (that's what this is all about ) to people in your car though the noise is only noticeable when your listening for it so it's not going to annoy the sht out of you. And because you cant hear it from the outside your not going to piss any one off with your car sneazing and your not gonna get any attention from po po. Speaking of po po, if they do notice you making it go off and pull you over, and ask you to rev your engine it's not going to be easy to hear and if you get the black monza mini filter like I did it blends in very well and you can't spot it unless you know the exact spot to look for. Great mod if you want the sound to show off but don't want it to get annoying. Nothing personal but I think the guide in the first post could be a bit better, theres quite a few dark spots that I had to figure out my self. Something good to include would be an underneath shot of the middle plastic thingy showing which hose to block, just a confidence thing. Also a tip on how to deal with those metal clips that are already on there. Was 10 mins before I decided to use some vice grips on them. Maybe also a warning of the little black screw thingys holding the middle plastic down, I snapped the one that's on top of the engine block trying to get the plastic thingy out of the throttle body >_< nothing dramatic but a warning would be nice. Thanks for the guide guys (Y)

First car was '93 Lancer. Big 15" alloys on it, a sports exhaust (punctured the orginal drivng to a 4wd comp with 4 mates in it ) and a pod filter. Handed that down to my sisters and I still drive it now and then cause I miss it's awesome manual FWD ness Couldn't fathom the power when I first got my T :D .

I've seen two T's driving around rocky with Dynamic Mechanic Stickers on the back, not sure what they think but if they're leaving stickers on they can't be to bad. I'm keen for a drive the w/e if anyone else is.

Nah still around mate, fuel prices are starting to twist my nuts though so I'm cutting back on unnecessary driving.
