JOHNWAYNE300

Borrowed from an SXOC user: I laughed so hard a let out a little bit of wee!! After reading this thread i diagnosed the massive boost i was getting in reverse as a faulty hamster problem (or FHP) So i drove down to the local pet store, was very careful in reversing into the parking space though!! i went into the shop and enquired about a set of forged hampsters. But the bloke had no idea what i was talking about!?!?! I think he was keeping them for himself. Anyway, i decided that id try some standard hampsters instead, you know, just to keep the boost quite low in reverse until i can source some uprated hampsters. So i bought 5, thought that would do, tried pushing them up the zorst, but they seemed unwilling to do this. So i unbolted the K&N and just threw them down the pipe. Is that the correct way of fitting them, because its not really boosting much at all, in any gear now?!? Can hampters be car specific, ie: a 200sx hampster? They didnt come with instructions so i think i may have put them in incorrectly. One more thing, ive heard about a single koala conversion, the article said somethin about better air flow and reduced lag by using just 1 large koala instead of many hampsters. Has anyone tried this?? __________________

I need to get me one of them!

How the hell do you buy from there unless youve got a japanesey best mate?

You should have kept, nurtered it and rasied it as your own....who knows one day it may have even called you mum! lol:D

in the daytime it probably will be noticable but at night shouldnt be to bad providing you stay out of any light:D

Is that an 86 i see in the background aswell?

Nothing i should be concerned about then?

My 300 has only done this twice in the time of me owning her and the last time it was very loud and has only ever done this when ive got her very hot and been giving it a hell of lot of beans,(basically on the verge of hitting the limiter) is this any thing to be concerned by or just unburnt gasses exploding on the hot exhaust upon exit?

I would if been up for it... but im a bit busy this weekend drinking:duffer:

:rofl:

Yeah thats what i thought?????? the amount of verbal diarrhea that spews from some peoples mouths astonishes me!.........................mini rant over!

If you get all the numbers and ring around a few specialists they may be able to tell you what type of turbo's you have.

Oh nearly forgot my car is not a v6! even showed him the engine and he was still adamant he was rite!

I recently have encountered some similair goons who think they know more about the inns and outs of my car, tried telling me his fiesta 300bhp rs turbo he paid £900 for would piss all over my car! cus it had chips n' every fin dun to it! ha ha ha, and also last nite i was told of an evo 8 which had a special smoothed out dump valve? and th car was bored out to a 10??? wtf goes on in the minds of these turds?

Aldi and Lidl are foreign imported food i believe? and correct me if im wrong but they have better food hygiene/packing standards than the uk? and also the ham is nice in lidl:D

Thats easy!:D

So where did no-frills go? and who sold them? Si you must have a pic of the famous white packet:D

I thought Tesco's sold them?

What ever happened to the no frills brand? I used to love those crisps:wack:

Brilliant photo!:bow:

I have e-bay replicas of them and they dont seem very loud? if i adust them would loosening them or tightening them help with the noise???

Some Goon who worked on my car before i owned it used a tiddly-wink and some bathroom sealer to fill the wiper hole on the tailgate and then put filler over the top!! no need to ask what happened the first tme the boot was slammed shut!

Good job

Yeah you could blow the welds off the intake!!! and also a possible danger of the floorpan falling through if you go to fast!

Also dont let it stand idling to warm up, drive it straight away as soon as you start it but dont go over 2000rpm until its fully warm...otherwise you can damage the heads as the cold thick oil struggles to get to them and lubricate properly when its cold.
