Wasn't it like this before?

Thanks! I thought you might have got a 10 by now. So all are blue? Does that mean your sis has a faster car than you?? Btw, what converts do you mean exactly? WRX to STi, Impreza to STi or Impreza to WRX? And is it only the EJ20 cars converted or have even the others?

Thanks a great lot!!

Hi Darin, what STi do you use now? Sent you 2 PMs too. Thanks!

Yup, the torque converter loses quite a bit of power more than a clutch, and those in F1 and even Lamborghini's and Ferrari's are dual clutch, manual gearboxes right? Experience with the same car model and same engine with auto and manual makes a person pretty sick of the auto I guess, has happened to me atleast. So rather than a B4 tiptronic, a manual is preferable

And I thought it was the other way around...

Ah, now that's good news Could you update the dyno thread too, with anymore pics if available?

Sorry, it's meant bulletproof, being too expensive, as someone said, to make it into a normal car..

Another conversion and leave? Same thing happened to the Camaro, was it?

A muscle car - Huge engine with lots of power, rear wheel drive, 2 doors, low price (comparatively), all the rest some pathetic little low quality bits

With the body kit you mean, above VS. Pics added for different angles Sorry if it bothers someone...

Nice We may get base of these here? or or ? Maybe not the last though, but some people even here are too rich I guess.

These new models, the Challenger. From the old days, the 2nd gen B-body Charger

Got a Camry from an auction once and that was pretty cheap and no problems, but wasn't bulletproof, atleast by that time, so maybe it's that which is causing them to dump it?

For the OT part, sorry Killer-B! But not exactly so cuz he wants to increase power and freeing up his intake would give him a tiny bit more of that Yup, I don't see much dust problem in Kandy, so maybe Killer-B wouldn't also have that problem, it's usually cold wet and muddy these days. Even normally, the OEM filter we have doesn't get clogged up soon. In Colombo it's a different story I guess. You'd end up with a hydrolock in the floods too, if it's a cold air.

Factory fuel consumption is said to be 10km/l city max, so probably much less with traffic. Hmm, too bad. Any chance an enthusiast is selling? I remember seeing a silver one, manual, in kandy twice, once when it was parked so could see inside.

And where are these cars found, at least to have a look?

fuzzo: Thanks Should check out shanX: You could say it's a normal 4 cylinder for economy runs Only one in the world... We don't have such exclusivity here, do we?

Good going! It's really pathetic to see Maruti's with HUGE exhausts, as if that does any good for the 800cc's... Hmmm, maybe the Dry Flow air filter isn't as good as they say then? But it's 'supposed' to be lifetime after all, and it's made to give least restriction, so maybe it has large pores. Yet it's for USA too, a dusty country in the middle and I'm sure they'd have lawsuits on them if it fails, or don't keep to graphs, those guys file cases for nearly everything! Not sure though, many people do like it after all. You got ram air or the cold air intake? Where did you get it from, friend brought or got here? Yup, Apexi is also a good brand, checked the prices sometime back, not too bad, and very good quality. And so are their exhausts, but falling on the steep side, going Rs.50k+...

Well you better have some good power to outrun the Honda's Putting out 130hp stock, they're pretty fast. A kit Cedia wouldn't be much of a problem though. I dunno much about the Starlet but had a Tercel Joinus EL51 which was similar chassis and same engine, and that put out around 85hp stock, had rear stabilizer and weighed 850kg, cat was cut out later, so even less and that had a great acceleration even on a 4 speed gearbox and being a sedan, also good handling. So you could, theoretically at least, easily tune yours naturally aspirated to outrun them Btw, 4E-FE engine right? What's your fuel economy? The Tercel did about 13/14 km/l in town, while not going to save fuel. Feels tiny and I like the injectors' sound at high rpm Specs - Cedia CS2A (Manual) 90hp 1080kg, (CVT) 100hp, 1130kg vs. Civic EG8 (Manual) 130hp, 1040kg vs. Civic EK3 (Manual) 130hp, 1050kg vs. Starlet EP91 (Manual) 85hp, 840kg Your aims aren't very high, so need not hurt your economy with a turbo to beat stock cars (if ricers) nah? Most people here prefer K&N, but I stand by AEM. Personal preference, just look at their graphs and decide. Edit - You're running 9.88kg/hp while the Cedia is already beatable as it's got 11.3kg/hp, but Civics are ahead at 8kg/hp for EG8 and 8.1kg/hp for EK3. So guess 120hp would be sufficient, but depends on many other factors also. Seems you may have to go turbo after all... 4E-FTE puts out 135hp stock, more than enough for your purpose, being the lightest.

What's this 'conversion company' which had got down the Camaro too as I heard? Me no luck in finding any contact, though I do know of it's existence, someone any info please? Oh and if there are no agents/dealers for Ford here, who gives the FOB price and stuff?

Hmm, that's sad. Would have been nice to get some info. Maybe that's why most people are bringing auto cars now then, and everywhere in the market also it's auto... Sad situation. Let me know of the price of a manual if you come across one please?

Aren't there any manuals around? Heard that long time no use auto/semi/CVT are not too trustworthy, but depends on the maintenance anyway/ @charitha19: When you checked, how much was a manual? And did you only check Legacy's?

Dyno it where?? Oct 15 was the opening date for the first here I heard, but no more talk about it, completely dead and quiet

Don't you smoke the ricers for fun? What's the max speed? Killer-B: You're welcome May I ask how much more power?
