She got a new lancer, it was about time the oldies settled on what car they were getting. All the questions the old boy was asking me was driving me insane

Who fixed it for you?

Pretty sure you can figure this one out, Chris.

Guard needed some massaging, intercooler brackets needed straightening, and some plastic welding was done. All corroded/broken bolts were either removed or drilled out with new ones put through. Definitely wasn't a straight forward job but it got done one weekend. Paint was done by someone unknown to me but it was certainly better than the paint previously on there.

There...I've given you one very distinct clue already as to who done most of the work as it happens to be his specialty

Man of many skills - some of which I'm just beginning to discover.

Lancer evo X bathurst?

Sounds like its in limp mode. No cooler leaks?

[skylinechaos99]

It did but fixed it how do I get it out of limp mode ??

[olloSKYLINEollo]

I am not too sure. Search the forums and you should find the answer.

Just disconnect the battery and tap the break a couple times, turn lights on etc, turn key etc etc....to bleed the system of all power. I also left my old liner disconnected for a couple hours to make sure she was well and truly in reset mode when you fire it up the next time.

Will go give it a crack now cheers

When I first do this to mine it won't idle... Second start is fine

[skylinechaos99]

Yeah seems fine now other than bit chugy before boost but better I have boost lol

[tommis85]

Well now you'll have to give it a chance to learn the engine again. I had to do this for my GTST when I put the intercooler on and also when I put the pod on. There's actually a procedure to *helping* the eccs learn...like, a set way that you should drive it so that the computer can fine tune all it's tables (seeing that all engines are different but the computers all have the same maps etc etc)

But yes, if it's chuggy/surgy I'd go over all your vacuum lines, pressurised pipework and all your sensors. Give it all a tighten-up and clean with contact/carb cleaner - your engine will love it (even if it doesn't fix that particular problem)

[skylinechaos99]

Also picked up a nail and got a flat just to make things better lol yeah fuel has been sitting in tank for 3 or 4 weeks too so will have to put bit of 98 in her too lol

No details, clint

The painter is a mate of a mate so I don't really know the person. Results are pretty good though and I got things done for a very good price

[olloSKYLINEollo]

Anyone keen for lunch run on Sunday?

[skylinechaos99]

Me if they sort me pay out
