Evo Body Kit, VI or IV most likely

Mags

Full exhaust system

Lowered

Change racing steering wheel

and gearknob

Neons

I know this is a skyline club guys but yea please leave you honest opinions. he is really keen to find out wat car enthusiasts would think. His motto is if others do it why cant i :)

Cheers again

tbh it's his car so he should do with it as he pleases.

However, my first thought when I see a lancer with alot of cosmetic styling is "you twat... it's never going to be an evo."

That's just me though. It's his first car so I think regardless of what advice we give him, he has already made his mind up anyway.

he is undecided atm and thus the bulliten post any advic is good advice he thinks so please help... also just wondering if he does go throuigh with it do you guys/gals no any good places to get it done

viet boy what kind of honda like a civic?... yea bubba but the insurance 4 a p plater on Red P plates wud be a fortune... ahaha for some reason skylin has a bad name for younger kids... damn fast and th furious

in the future he wants a skyline or s15 or sumthing nice

maybe a Civic, Accord (New model), Integra..prices are cheap for them..

something with vtec in it for abit of go, way better than a Lancer engine.

but is your mate trying to stay away from turbo cause of insurance? cause if not...180sx, silvia do alright

True story.

EVO-68U = A STANDARD lancer that get around my parts,full chameleon paint job,evo 8 bodykit i guess(going by number plates) huge F off cannon no doubt on ridiculous angle to kerb(cant remember) & big chromies.

when i pulled up beside it i almost sunk,as i thought it was a real evo8 then these lil 13yr olds on bmx say to me 'race him' im thinkin F off its a damn evo8. so taking off no boost what so ever and im infront of him,look in my mirror to see NO FMIC ghey!

It's like putting socks down your jocks.lol

P.S Another lancer i see on the way to work,its a damn ES or whatever they are(my boss has one) anyway this tool drives around with the number plates 'IMPRTD" don't people like this have sensible friends? or are their friends laughing as hard at them as i am.

P.P.S and yes theres also a bunch of fwd lancers with evo engines that haul ass.

I dont know what budget he has on the build (including the car purchase) so its hard to say. A modded lancer is normally deemed a teenage girl thing. I understand he wants to do as everyone else does, but everyone else gets taken as a joke to.

My thoughts would be an R32 or R33 N/A are rather cheap these days...and being N/A insurance etc shouldnt be too bad. Maybe some of the guys here with N/A's or had N/A's could shed some light?

Actually a non turbo skyline wouldnt be too bad for a p plater... good thoughts i totally forgot i had a non turbo 33 and it was fine still kicked a little arse well deff of the lancers etc that wanted to drag lol.... yea he is trying to stay away from turbo onc the insurnce company hears turbo they flip out...

IMO, I wouldn't waste money doing anything up until he can afford to do it to a decent car.. no point getting a lancer, civic, n/a skyline/silvia and blowing money on making it look pretty if he's going to get himself a turbo when he gets off his P's.

Get a bunky, drive it for 2yrs, save money, THEN get a real car and go nuts :(

So get a peice of junk and drive it till he can get something decent? i think he is ashamed to do that since he is nearly 21 and all of his mates have gone past the first car stage

BTW viet boi, how did u get it that cheap was it under your parents name and u as a driver? he is pulling figures out of his arse lik a magna wouild cost 1.1k

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
