poor guy, probably just wanted some advice about the difference between the K&N and the standard, seeing that he only has about 30 posts says that he is either pretty new to the game or hasnt posted much. fair enough dish out some sledging but sheesh

this forum consists of people with a plethera of knowledge and people, like myself that have minimal knowledge, just remember.. every single one of you had no idea about cars at some stage... everyone deserves a fair go..

I agree. Everybody shuld be given a fair go.

THEN smash 'em.

hey mate,

I find that my car has a weird kind of smell when I go from re-circulated air, to fresh, or if I turn the air con off after its been on re-circulated. Its just the air con. Nothing to worry about. If its that bad, just keep it on fresh. Probably doesnt cool as efficiently that way, but saves you the smell when you turn it off or change it.

I usually use re-circulate, then after a while I'll use fresh for a few minutes just to get some fresh air in there.

On the flip side, if you have a missus who doesnt want you doing mods.... well you could always say that the K&N filter is to get rid of that smell... she'd never know! with a CAI and filter I gained around 10rwkw. plus it sounds sweet when you back off the accelerator!! especially with 12psi of boost!!

what a crack up! well mate! u know what u have to do now!

buy your self a K&N filiter and also a pollent fillter

Dal.

as the title says I was lucky enough 2 have an evo6 sitting infront of me at the lights. me and 3 mates in my auto ba T were pretty hyped. as the lights turned green, he began 2 pull away a little, but once he was in 2nd he just left me almost 3 car lengths behind, 3rd gear and I was able 2 catch up again (in tiptronic mode). is this due to the weight, or can I just not beat him? mine was stock. his most likely had the usual mods, blow off, exhaust yada yada, however black smoke was pouring from his tail! that about somes up my day. anyone with similar encounters?

You didnt really think a stock xr6 could beat a modded evo6 did you?

heck I dont know lol. btw what does the auto T run quarter mile times?

Take it down and have a go!

If you can beat my time you are doing well

Quarter times are also run with:

- driver only

- warmed up tyres

- auto stalled up.
