no cant fix... makes no sence bringing it back will cost too much & will not be as strong as i suspect the chassis to be damaged as well... fenders front & back bumpers intercooler spoiler bonnet roof 2 doors, front & back glass... it really makes no sence

Sorry to hear that man... it still would have been crappy if you had hit the corolla though... stupid "wrong if you hit from the back" crap... most important thing is you're alive...

All you probably could do now is sell off some of the parts and make something back on the situation...

Interior, Seats, steering, instrument panel, gearbox shifter, brakes, engine (if it's in ok condition)...

faster you get it out of your sight faster it'll help in your recuperation...

all in all, ur here to post the story. glad ur ok

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 12:27 am

Swift Boy,yup, hard to show love for those that do sheit like that. beetham peeps steups. i gotta check u and all during the week. show u what i did new to the car lol.

gonna change my current cheap filter this week to a K&N filter. was going with the HKS but alot of people/reviews said that it isnt best for daily driver, doesnt clean the air as well as the K&N. it sucks more tho :lol:

my boost controller isnt any good also, have to get that and a timer. and the list continues :lol:

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 12:27 am

how the rest of you guys shaping up? janfar?

Postby **MISHI** » August 24th, 2009, 1:04 am

good K&N drop in filter is quite good...

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 3:09 am

MISHI,nice nice.

btw, im getting a gas sent comming from my car. no gas leak anywhere. did a check and on the evo321 forum, a user had the same prob, said it was his injecters were messed up and his lifters were stuck or something. im gonna get this checked later on in the week when i get some time but anyone else had this prob?

the sent isnt all the time tho, mostly after i run hard.

Nik · Postby **Nik** » August 24th, 2009, 7:03 am

Death-Row, the best filter IMO is apexi... it works even better than the K&N

gas scent... check all ur fuel lines...ALL... had the same prob with my gsr & it was one of the fuel lines wasnt in properly... so check that asap...

once again thanks peeps

janfar · Postby **janfar** » August 24th, 2009, 7:38 am

K&N drop in filter was a good investment, not only did i get a slight increase in performance, there was a drastic increase in economy.

Car came with turbo timer... :twisted:

Go and do your 3" exhaust, this definitely makes a big difference.

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 10:13 am

slight prob with me and that exhaust. i wanted to do a 3" but ive heard it might be too big for my 93 setup but im not sure how long i got this 93 for so i dont wanna do a 2.5 then have to do over a 3" shortly after when i put in a 63, how ever soon that is.

yea nik, thanks, will check my lines once more.

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 8:36 pm

ok, so i also need parts. anyone got a starter for my car? also, i need the clutch master cylinder for the GSR or the EVO 1, 2 or 3. they all the same. i seen it online but thats from camskill and they in the UK, would like to get it locally if i can.

picked up a K&N from w2j today, got a Greddy turbo timer from a friend also. gonna put those things up tonight.

janfar · Postby **janfar** » August 24th, 2009, 8:49 pm

Death-Row, Wayyo, and i pass through by W2J, we could have linked. I bought a new ex. mani to turbo gasket and a gauge pod for my boost gauge. That might be a hard thing to come across that Clutch MC. Check Jodi and see if he has something, last time i knew he had a front cut, dunno if it gone by now.

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 10:38 pm

janfar,next time ill post here lol but anyone of you guys ever had a prob where the K&N filter is too long? as in its hitting the fuse box and wont fit? but the inlet size is correct.

janfar · Postby **janfar** » August 24th, 2009, 10:46 pm

Lol, i had the same prob, its to thick for the stock box, u have to force it into the the box. Is real pressure, but with a lil elbow grease and some slight inginuity it would go in.

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 10:55 pm

i dont like forcing things in de car boy :lol:

i was thinkin if to go with the damn HKS filter setup and done yes. its smaller. should fit with ease.

janfar · Postby **janfar** » August 24th, 2009, 10:59 pm

Hmmm, mine did fit well man, call Gerrard and see if he could give u some pointers. I will be going for a full CAI soon, but when money comes up, right now house take priority. Tomorrow im gonna change that exhaust manifold/turbo gasket that I bought from teknet.

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 11:02 pm

janfar,niceeeee. ill pass by my mechanic tomorow and see if they can help.

what i wanted to know tho, i know this might be a stupid question but what are the down sides to the HKS in terms of it not being to filter the air as much as the K&N? as in, what does the dirtier air do to the engine?

janfar · Postby **janfar** » August 24th, 2009, 11:07 pm

AFAIK, the dirtier air would

1. send impurities to the engine
2. foul the AFM causing bad readings to the ecu
3. poor milage

L200 clutch cylinder might be the same.

On the air filter thing... make sure it's not a CS filter...

Death-Row · Postby **Death-Row** » August 24th, 2009, 11:36 pm

really good read but it looks like they didnt actually do the tests themselves for how they stated the info. it does show what alot of forums have been saying also tho. thats why i went with the K&N in the first place. guess ill have to hope for the best tomorow. maybe i just to soft and dont wanna force it in :lol:
