QUOTE(defgeph @ May 16, 2006 - 9:38 PM) [snapback]434823[/snapback] I mean this in the nicest way. Leave the car the way Chanh55 built it. Throw some JDM lights on the front.  x 2. Its your car now and its up to you what you do, but just remember......he made that thing look PERFECT. Anything less than that is a step down. Hey if it isn't fast enough for you, then let me know. I'll try and find a good home for it here on the EC.

Do what you want with it mate, its your car and you have to like it so even if you wanted to change the entire thing to your own liking then no one should think any less of you or criticise you for doing it.
I think it looks smart, but I know if it was mine it would get lots of changes, but thats just me. |

Dont go chrome on the wheels. If you think its slow, chrome will just slow it down even more. Its heavy.

Just to specify, I didn't mean anything negative by my comment before. I was just saying that whatever you DO change should be at the same level of the previous build so that the car doesnt take a step backwards.....only foward.
Beautiful car. W00t.

CHIN! ....to be honest the lids were done as a way of lowering the excess glare from the hid's, cant get pullred over ya know? As for the next choice of wheels, im going with something with a deeper dish or more euro style....with the gold ones, the crossmember would smack every bump in the road, and let me tell ya, the roads are BUMPYlol, and with these, the car doesnt bottom out as much, but the tires rub the fender a bit.

Looks good man... deep dish is what I was ultimately going for, that would look so nice. I only painted my rims gold because I was too cheap to buy new rims and hey it worked.
I say... paint the rims you have on now gold and keep the lip on the rims the way it is. Pure sex... Oh yeah... since you broke those sidemarkers, you should do the JDM sidemarker mod. I never got around to doing that either... you promised to finish what I started! You must obey... hahaha

Geez, no wonder. Stock boost is 7psi, so its probably just barely hitting full stock boost.
Time to troubleshoot guy. Then you'll be more happy with the power. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

QUOTE(95celgt @ May 17, 2006 - 12:20 PM) [snapback]434937[/snapback] the guage reads 6.5 psi at the most you have some type of boost leak, restrive exhaust, CEL, or some other problem going on. no wonder your car feels really slow. stock boost should be about 10psi. 7 is a bare min the car runs at when the ecu sees a problem going on. 13psi is where the car starts to come alive, and 15psi even better. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

lets see, the BOV doesnt sound the same anymore compared to how it used to sound when i first got it, it used to make a cool, water splash sound and now it just makes a very short pshh.
exaust is a custom downpipe, and followed by the greddy sp2 car has a CEL which is for the speedo not getting a signal, but i doubt its this because its always had it Car used to feel like darthvader on steroids, my 40-50% then is wqual to my WOT now... |

so you think its the bov? car has simalar prob to brianforesters, have to give it gas as well to turn it on and dies if i let go upon initial start up, after a while it will idle ok, im leaning towards bov(boost leak) and AFM malfunction, although the car doesnt throw codes aside from speed sensor
