A completely standard Q4 in good condition? I wouldn't change a single thing and keep it nice and dry stored. Only take it out with good weather and drive it relatively carefully. They are becoming...
Jim, it works the other way around. The ECU limits torque at lower speeds. For that, it needs a speed signal. I haven't been digging deep enough into the Q4 yet to find out if this is a myth, or...
I think I'll be visible on more than one location. I've encountered their vehicles multiple times the last year. My cars have been on google for years.
I actually filed a complaint on behalf of...
Yes, you need to register. The forum also won't let you search for more than 3 months back, unless you pay. However, this is where the guy doing the sale was announcing it was around, so that is...
I put the link in the original post, since that is where most people will look.
madlyons is planning another group buy at the evocorner forum. He's talking GBP 200, 100 up front and 100 at delivery, shipped to any UK address. I don't know if anyone is interested, but I thought...

This one is yet to be built. Offered it seems by the manufacturer of the car in the advert. In 2006 there was a company called "Mariani...
The AC Cobra was basically a V8 somebody forked into an AC Ace. That started life in 1953, the same period that this Alfa came out. The long sleek nose and the lifted rear fenders do have a rough...
For a car in this price range, I would expect a full history, much more pictures and details of the restoration. Much better pictures and technical information can be found online. Those pictures...
You should leave ABS as it is. The wiring from/to the sensors is shielded and special cable, molded onto the sensors. You will only make it worse if you try to fix that. The multi-connectors on the...
Pitch factor is how much the Gtech is off-horizontally mounted in your car I think?
It doesn't correct for air resistance probably, which is why only the weight is entered. At least you measured...
I see a lot of wheel/clutch slipping action in first gear, that would account for the 1 second lost on the 1-100 km/h runs. It is kind of hard to compare the two graphs since they have different time...
I'm a sissy (and I have to have presentable hands for my job) so I use gloves these days. It helps a lot against scuffs.
I got my new daily driver MOTed yesterday. It's a 1996 bianco argento 2.0 16V TS, with a Vialle liquid LPG injection system, koni yellows, leather interior and cat-cams fast road cams in it. It still...
What Wrinx said. Also, a loose electrical contact somewhere in the engine loom is possible. I had a lot of my power back after fiddling with the connectors and checking vacuum hoses.
Wrapping would work too, but is a less permanent solution than ceramic coating. I think all 3 solutions have their merit and may work well combined. Not shielding the manifold will cook the oil and...
I think Jan may be willing to sell his spare manifold? He has his car plus all spare parts up for sale. I bought his spare turbo because I thought mine was busted.
Bolting the whiteline ARBs to your car is more than just a "lego job".
They were for sale on eBay a while ago. Maybe Jan or someone else that bought one can check if the vendor still sells them?
I think Jan's shield wil help keep the hot air from going up and everywhere under the bonnet a bit better. It's probably trivial since it's not a sealed air thing and the turbo is unshielded, but it...
What's missing in that thread is why there are limits on the boost. On lower revs, you don't want too much boost because the torque will kill your big-end bearings, clutch and gearbox. Either you...
What if the grale and Q4 inlets were properly machined? Wouldn't that make them better?
Ah it's next to the pink elephant. I see it now.
There is no boost controller in your picture. What I see there is a cam sensor on the exhaust cam.
