  1. so by rights takig it off wil keep it open all the time and increase mpg? boost
  2. i sure i saw a post saying it gave more of an induction roar at low revs with it unplugged, but the reason want mine out is it seems to be permantly closed so it must be stoppig some air getting in?
  3. hey guys gave my car a little service putting through new oil, filter, air filter ,gearbox oil and cleaned the maf and throttle body now i seen this butterfly flap thing inside the airbox but it seems to be permanently raised when car is off and doesnt move when the car is revved up... the car still hits a kind of v tec when it hits 5k revs tho. how do you keep the flap open permanently?
  4. the car is usually cold for the first 20mins of drivin and then picks up to normal temp as far as i know everything is stock in the engine last night i drove abotu 30 miles at a local circuit and stopped and left the car running and IT OVERHEATED the slightest wee bit on the dials so atleast i know the dials work but again no fans... i didnt leave it on very long tho, whats the safest temp i can let it go before i should expect the fans on?
  5. iv no idea about thermostat etc? the oil does seem a bit burnt when i smelled and looked at it but the car still seems to be running ok, how would i check a thermostat?
  6. just sits halfway oil temp sits just under half way until you start driving it goes higher as the belts turning makes the oil guage show higher apparantly
  7. anywhere for a good price on these? dingbro? would these be the same sparks from the mr2 engine? ( just incase the dingbro boy doesnt know what an altezza is )
  8. oh sorry im basically asking for some info on the fans as they have never came on wich i dont think is right though the heating works fine and the car temp doesnt overheat, iv put the car through hard runs and left siitting still for ages and nothing it never overheats,, only thing i can think of is maybe the heat is getting out easier as its a fibreglass vented hood and the car has a seperate oil cooler thus keeping the engine at a normal temp?
  9. time to time mine is exact same wil try new oil n plugs
  10. hey guys i have recently noticed that iv never actually had my radiator fans come one in my altezza rs200 the engine temp never overheats tho even after a good run and the oil temp is always low aswell ( seperate oil cooler on the car ) the air con radiator is burst i know as i can physically see it the original radiator looks fine the left hand side of the car there is a plug wich i thought had a stopper in it but after looking again it is actually snapped... any ideas? will try get a pic up but still unsure how to post pics on this forum
  11. why not do what i done and just open up the lights and spray the insides? costs a fiver =)
  12. fraserburgh north east of scotland next to aberdeen
