The original daewootech forum

Evening, Im sure none of you will remember me hey. I used to post here back in 2006 when i owned my very first car (how funny it is to look back at old forum posts). It was a 1996 daewoo cielo, and even though it shat me to tears and had a new problem each week, it was alota fun and i loved it all t...

Hey guys. My car is still off the road but it doesnt mean i havent been tinkering with it. I had some large diameter PVC pipe in my backyard that i made a hiet shield out of. The pipe fits perfectly (with a tiny bit of persuasion) around the larger end of my air filter. So essentially, its an enclos...

Yeah, the cops have always been a bit of a concern of mine... I really wana make a cai, but i had a look at putting the filter inside the wheel well so it wasnt in the engine bay, but it was really cramped in there, i actually think i dirtied the filter a bit too :( The cramping isnt so big of an is...

I know PVC isnt flashy, im not after flashy.

I got the pipes and made my intake and a cold air pipe from the front bumper (fog light cover hole) to the hole in the engine bay.
Im at work so i dont have pics here, but when i get home, ill take some.

Yeah a custom made metal pipe would be ideal as far as heat, looks etc goes... Im opting for PVC (or ABS, ive read that PVC releases noxious gasses when its heated, and ABS is more heat resistant.. or something like that) becasue i can make the whole thing myself, i can experiment with different pip...

Thanks for the input... Just to clarify, my intentions are to make basically the entire intake pipe out of PVC. I will be buying a bit of silicone hose to connect it to the TB, and having the PVC pipe going straight from that bit of silicone hose, to the filter. So it will be pretty basic, but hopef...

I had a dream 2 nites ago that i got a brand new VW golf...
It was silver
Then changed colour to blue...

I had a brand new BMW hit my front end.

All i needed was a new blinker cover.
She needed a whole new front panel, light and i think her hood was mangled a bit aswell

Excellent...


I dont spose you have a pic of that nubira intake??

I was just wondering if the stock intake pipe on the cielo would be the same size as a lanos? As in, where the pipe connects to the TB and other connector fittings? I managed to ruin the intake pipe on my cielo and am needing a new one hehe... Seen as cielos arent too common, i was gona check out a ...

Nah ill take your word for it...
Im gona go easy with the backyard mods from now on

Although i am planning on doing the hood spacer mod when i get home from work today

Im interested to try this one out but i woudnt know which hoses are which :oops: http://elantragtclub.tripod.com/elantra/id112.h...

Yeah the speedometer is working... Unless its giving me a fasle speed reading that is :lol: I get the feeling that if i were to get it replace, it'd cost a bit... and ive spent too much money on this thing lately (including getting it towed from warrawong to west wollongong... twice) After seeing th...

OK so i got my car back from ultra tune and heres the latest. The car is running sooo much smoother for one thing, not 100% on exactly what they did under there, but they scanned the computer and it showed that i have a faulty speed sensor.. Whats a speed sensor? I ask coz im yet to see "speed senso...

Excellent,
