In this topic, we will journey together to the wonderful transformation of the car.
The goal here, is to restore the exterior to its former glory, to immprove the interior as much as posible and to give the car, a little boost on its performance.
Note:
The car is in my posetion since 2009.
I had been treating it very bad, so, its apperance is bad in some places.
I had been skipping service dates because of finantial diffecolties
But:
Since 2017, I had been keeping the service dates on time or close enough to date.
I improved the interior, but there are still more things I want to do.
I will focus on the exterior first.
Those are some photos of the car, while I was putting some rims that I restored from the junkyard:
I bought them from the scrapyard, they had scraches at the edges, but I fixxed them! Credit goes to ChrisFix from YouTube, he and his useful videos, will help to do anything on your car, easy!
Here is a link to his channel. By the way, I don’t get paid from the guy, I honnestly believe that he has great and useful content, easy to follow.
I’ve not seen them fitted to our Australian cars. Or at least not to the M100s I had. What benefit do you expect to reap by removing it? Will depend on you climate I guess. What are the temp extremes? I ran the inlet on down low on the non-radiator side. But I did run some probs first from a manometer to establish a high pressure point for the inlet. Then having established that and installed the inlet tract I ran a few cheap temp sensors and mucked around to seek the coldest inlet temps.
To increse the cool air flow to the air filter intake.
Our summer tepm extreme is 42-45 C and winter -05- -10 C more or less.
Yes, I think I saw something similar on a post/thread somewhere else on the community on a Sirion M100. The thing is,I noticed, that, my A/C compresor is blocking the way at the bottom left of the engine bay. At the photo I saw on the post, wasn’t there! So I guess that Sirion did not had an A/C, OR the A/C compresor is located elsewere on this Sirion?
How you did that? What kind of manometer did you use?
Also, I 'm thinking about to change my sparkplugs to nikel plugs or even iridium plugs. But I heard throu the grapevine, this change might cause damage to the cyls, pistons etc. Is that true for my 1L EJ-DE engine?
When i rebuild my EJ-VE i put iridium plugs in it. No problems so far.
I don’t see why they would cause damage. Just make sure you have the right type/range.
Personally i recommend Denso, but feel free to use any brand you want.
The plugs are easy to change so I’d just use copper. I was present for some dyno testing of different plugs. Copper was slightly better than the rest. It is an excellent conductor of electricity. The other materials just extend the service period.
I have a couple of Dyyer Magnehelic manometers that cover a range of pressures.
Does somebody knows, the gear of the Sirion, on the steering wheel column, how many teeth it has and the size of the gear? I want to buy a boss kit, and I need to know. Does it take the same boss kit as Mira L7?
I rebilded them myself!!
, awesomeness is coming! LoL!
