big fuckin mess....


the cone filter prolly sucking hot air...anyone wants to donate a stock 87"is" airbox? :S




so should i buy a new cone filter along with a heatsheild or just buy a stock airbox? also are those sparkplug wires any good?

also the car seems to pull really hard above 3000rpm to 5000rpms and then acts like a pig after that...

When was the last full maintenance adventure?

(Airbox, plugs, wires, dist cap/rotor, seafoam, valve adj., etc.)

i have no idea my valves are knocking really badly, all i know the timing belt was replaced in 2005(184,000kms) now it's sitting at 190,000kms!

i am going to orderd a tune up kit, i usually deal with bavauto but i wanna try somthing else.

also judging by the looks of the air filter i would say it's been there since the original built of the car?

Ditch the "cold air intake" and cone filter and install the stock air box. The stock airbox is as good as it gets.

Get an OE or OE equivalent ignition wire set. It will have the wires installed in a wire chase that bolts to the valve cover.

you sould really get the timing belt done. An old dried out one is worse than a high mileage one. Im pretty sure the change intervals are 2 years or 60k miles. Dont know what that is in kms.
