Well it seems my return to GM vehicle ownership is imminent. I have spent nearly a year now trying to track down my old Lanos, because it was the biggest mistake I ever made, getting rid of it. I fear it may well be in a scrap yard by now. I am soon to take ownership of a Vauxhall Astra G Bertone Co...

I've had similar symptoms on my previous 2002 1.3 Lanos and it turned out to be a worn out lambda (oxygen) sensor. Located on the exhaust manifold near the head, with either one or two wires leading to it. They are exactly the same as on all similar age Vauxhall/Opel/Holden small 4-cylinder engine'd...

I still have the occasional scroll through the posts to see see what I can see and what things are happening. My neglect is mostly down to not having a Daewoo anymore (I even tried tracking it down to buy it back once I had enough money) I'm on my 3rd car now since the Lanos and none compare to it, ...

Haha! Loving this project!

Kind of a similar direction my next Daewoo will go

Keep it up man!

Hi,
I miss my Lanos dearly. Fact.

Was just wondering out of pure curiosity if there are any UK-based Lanos owners who would be willing to swap or part-ex an early 2001 or older 1.6 or 1.5 Lanos for my E36 316i Turbo?

Hi guys, I know I don't belong here anymore :lol: but I like to check back every other day. Bit of advice for anyone thinking of ever owning an E36 BMW... DON'T DO IT! To remove the exhaust, I had to remove the bottom strut brace. To fit a turbo, I had to remove the exhaust manifold. To remove the e...

Yep, i'm currently using a recirculating valve, it makes a little bit of noise, but not a lot - not near as much as the Lanos did. I've got it running a little better now, but very rich when cold. so rich in fact that, from a cold start if i touch the throttle before it's spent at least 5 minutes id...

Never will I own or work on another BMW! I want my Lanos back... which in fact, is up for sale currently for a mere £200 or there abouts. Only thing is, the yearly road tax alone is £270! Anyway, so I've done the turbo conversion - and what a pain it was! - and these cars just have sooo many differe...

... will you have to chip it? Nope. No need. It's gonna be set up very much the same as any Daewoo would be on a low pressure setup... and let the rising rate fuel pressure regulator do most of the work. And the MAF sensor would be set up for air to be drawn through it, rather than it having to dea...

For those who like pictures, here's the kit:

Still need to clean everything up as it came off a running motor - the rest of the car wasn't in as good a state, apparently.

I received my turbo kit for the beemer on Friday afternoon :-) It's a Mosselman kit (which used to retail at over £2000!! Yes, TWO grand.) Comprising: Garret T28 w/ T3 flange & preset 5.5 psi waste gate actuator Manifold-Turbo adapter pipe Down pipe Braided oil feed line and 18mm drain pipe. Oil dra...

That spoiler has been on the car for about 3 years. I removed the bolts from it and used 3M double sided foam tape and clear silicon to fix it to the hatch glass. The double sided tape was just to keep it in place while the silicon set over 48 hours - the silicon is what holds it on. Here's the bimm...

Here are some more pics of it painted matte black: http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/5898/47620310150740360177954.th.jpg http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/4360/47542510150740363452954.th.jpg http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/6394/47202810150740362227954.th.jpg http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/798...

Maybe your next daewoo should be a nexia with c20let... :D :badgrin: I wouldn't mind a Nexia, but they are a dying breed here in the UK (in all honesty, I don't think they sold more than a couple hundred in England). It's near-on impossible to find one at all, let alone finding a really good condit...
