Is drifting bad for the car? How much harm can be caused to your car's engine? What can be done to minimise strain on your engine when drifting? According to many this is the perfect car for drifting. Makes me think what problems you'll have with less perfect cars. Reason why I ask this is because w...

Has anybody ever experienced the following problems yet. 1.Turn the ignition on (don't start) and nothing happens. No ignition lights. BUT my CD player works and the clock light goes on, so there is power from the battery. Checked wires under ignition but nothing wrong. Strange thing happened one da...

I am not that familiar with the technicalities of the CA18 sumps but what I have always done when drfting was too ensure that I fill the oil over the limit. Rather to much than to little I always say. Only problem with this that your engine might push up excess oil through the breather pipe into the...

Calibrator I also suspected that but what's so funny is that it only happens when doing drifting. Normal driving is fine. Would the car not produce lots of exhaust smoke if the rings were stuffed? Cause that is not the case with mine.

I have been experiencing a problem whereby my car pushes up oil through the breather pipe which goes into the air induction pipe leading to the turbo. This then causes the car to throw out clouds of smoke as the oil burns out. But DAMN you will think the engine packed up at that point. This only hap...

Hey M.I.G
What was the reason for stripping in the first place? I am thinking it would be best to remove motor from body first and then strip (depending on what needs to be done).

Hey Charl, ever think of relocating your Ignitor unit which is behind that heat shield next to your turbo. I relocated mine to the bracket on the arch infront of the strut. All you would need to do is extend the wires of the plugs and BOB's your aunty. Just a thought. Furthermore you have a great co...

There is very little I hate about these cars but I would definitely aggree that the suspension needs alot of work. It's a damn sports car so I would think a damn Sport suspension would be ideal. The front is way too soft causing the car to dip heavy in turns. Too much body roll. They could have impr...

That sensor is situated in the front of the engine. If you facing the engine have a look just behind the timing cover on the left side. You need to have a carefull look there as there are 2 plugs. 1 is a single wire on a black plug and the 1 you are looking for is a YELLOW plug which is bigger with ...

Gary this is a wild shot but I had a similar problem. My car was overfuelling at low revs. It would kill plugs with fuel also on startup most times. The problem was due to the water temp sensor situated on the front of intake manifold. Identify the switch by its yellow colour. What was happening on ...

Gentleman I am a believer. NGK BCPR7ES Damn those plugs are good. Changed my plugs and the devils came out. Clean throughout the rev range and boosting 0.9bar. Took the car against Merc C320 (chipped) and Golf GTi Mk5 and it was neck and neck from the word GO. Moral of this story: DON"T USE TRI...

Gary is your problem sorted yet?
If so what was the problem?

So technically Derek-SON would be the have better option there with BCPR8ES. Not that I am pushing out more than 300k.

I also heard about BCPR7ES but not BCPR8ES. I found that my car is fitted with those triple spark but I think those plugs are catching on the world of SH!T. The car seems to break down under heavy load. I'll try new plug tonight and see if there is a difference. Does that plugs need to set with a sp...

What spark plugs are recommended and why?
Or what plugs works the best on CA18?
