SILVABULLIT

Holy snapping duck *******... who's playing silly buggers with my votes!!!! I would like to know where they all come from :( Considering I know of about 8 who voted for me

Welcome Mate... Where do you hail from ? Make sure you post pics of your new toy and enjoy your stay here... Cheers A :P ← Hey welcome to the forum and to the silver stivo fold. Obviously the best and only colour to get. ;) Don't forget to tell us where you're from :D

Become a silver member which will give you even more benefits. Come to think of it, i must get around to doing it lol.

I don't believe it Kyle found the keyboard to vote!! How did you manage that!! I can't even recall ever seeing you on the forum since i've been here

You start talking big dollars for internal work. Cams would set you back somewhere in the vicinity of about 1000-1500 never mind the cost of fitting/tuning. the problem with this sort of engine is it's a compromise of low end torque sacrificing some peak power or vice versa. The typical traits of a multivalve engine. Plus you've got the added complexities of getting the cam grind right to work with the VVTL-i. Not saying that it can't be done but not sure that too many of us have that kind of dough to through around. :D

That's a shame Richie now Azza has to fly the red flag all on his lonesome :( I'd be looking at late 80's modded 4age/ze perhaps for that kind of money. Good luck my friend we'll miss the sight of a red stivo racing everything in sight.... then again we've still got Azza :P

If it's a 2 litre engine it will most probably be the elantra 105kw 2 litre with the turbo added. I imagine the output to be somewhere around the 150kw mark to compete with the Astra etc.

Some fodder for me eh?

Standard piping is some weird a55 size I mean it's not 2.25" but close to 56mm in diameter. As for the noise factor, mark 1 of the CES system had a different rear muffler which sounded awesome in lift and wasn't loud at idle but when tested it was nearly 110db and the drone in the car was insane! We then changed rear mufflers and dynoed it again and the output was exactly the same. So you don't always have to have noise to have the gains. :D

Northy's got slotted rotors on his Stivo. :D

Unfortunatley it's pretty hard to search for a dyno sheet that has not title and has no info on it. The dyno sheet in your garage(which I already have looked at) could be of anything. It makes no mention of "exhaust system before and after". So now I'm supposed to be a mind reader? I wouldn't have made the comments that I have if you had a dyno sheet with some info on it. If you made 10kw gains then cool thats great but at least have clear cut proof of the gains as anybody can put a dyno sheet up without facts etc. If I've offended then sorry but as you know this sort of thing has happened before and I'm tired of seeing "I got this much" without proof. Cheers SILVABULLIT :D

It's still a Ford and hence why I'll never buy one. ;)

This wouldn't be a copy of the mysterious droning system that "xtigerx" has. The one which he copied a CES system and then never posted a dyno sheet to prove his gains??? I heard 8kw but this has NEVER been proven or any dyno sheet that I can remember being posted. As for the drone i have it on good authority that it's just plain and simple NASTY. :o If we are going to quote figures then please show proof - put up or shut up. I believe this is what some of you said to me when the CES system was first posted on this forum and you wanted all the proof which i supplied and you still didn't believe? Well here's another example is it not????? LET'S SEE SOME PROOF OF THIS "SECRET SPEC" SYSTEM????? Or is it all a load of bull?My thoughts, my opinion so please I'm happy to be proven wrong. :D

You should have them tomorrow, Friday at the latest. :D

I will contribute by not hitting lift for the whole day(my version of a day of peace) But Zee I agree a good cause and something we should all wish for. :)

Previous owner may have put stiffer suspension in it?(springs etc) As for the turbo not working, open the bonnet with the engine running and rev the motor up and if you can't hear a high pitched whistle kick in at about 1700-2300 rpm then that could be an obvious sign that the turbo isn't working. Otherwise take it to Toyota or a diesel specialist to get the injectors,turbo etc checked out.

I painted my calipers and hubs on all four corners in about 3.5 to 4 hours. Can't see why it takes you guys so long. I did it one wheel at a time but then you're in Melbourne and it'll most likely be raining :P :P Gotta love that Queensland weather ;)

Could we get a list of possible attendees? Maybe get a few of us together to put on a bit of a display??? Any takers with a clean car???

Is it free latte's for everyone who votes for E-gene???LOL :P

Search button always delivered for me!!

Nearly as long as it takes you to eat a plate of greens lol :P

It trully is a stopping thread of frictional information that you should save onto a disc :P :P ;)
