im getting some money together right nor for a set of topgun 8.8mm and then a set of NGK iridium plugs... $153 all up

last time my engine started coughing and misfiring was when the gasket went and i got water in the cylinders.... check under your oil cap... if the oil looks milky, it means your head or gasket is gone.

everyone gives me shit about my daewoo cielo. But i like it... its lightweight, handles well, has a bit of power when i put my foot down but its still economical, it looks good (even better with rims :D) and sounds great (thanks to a $1K exhaust, it sounds like a wrx) I plan to spend maybe another $...

ex0du5, i use BP ultimate (98 RON) and its great in the woo... i have my timing advanced however... you notice the power and economy increase if you advance your timing. and mmamdouh... when abouts does your fuel light some on??? ive had the guauge sitting on the red before, and the light never came...

fastest ive gone is 150 in fifth... but caught up to the traffic infront of me... anyone know how fast the 1.5sohc cielos will go???

if im going down a highway accelerating to 100, ill shift to 2nd at 40, 3rd at 80 and if im adventurous, 4th at 120 :P


but in the 60 zones around work, 2nd at 40, neutral at 60 to let the engine slow down and then just whack her into 5th to cruise.

i have my foot flat too, but i dont speed and im doing 60kmh in 5th gear :P... 1st, 2nd, neutral, 5th. so yer, i accelerate quick but to keep my economy, ill drive at like 1500 rpm constantly

ive been using a pod filter just attached to the end of the rubber piping. thinking of going back to the panel filter but removing both resonators and blocking off the air coming over the radiator. thatd make my intake air nice and cold

from what i know, resonators in the exhaust take away certain sound ranges from the exhaust note. On my cielo, the exhaust isnt as loud as some cars at high revs, but its still got a very loud, deep idle. If i didnt have the resonator it would scream at high revs. Also, they dont really detract from...

i had a closer look at my head today and realised that there is a little bit of corrosion between a water channel and an oil channel. one thing led to another and there was water in my oil and the car was misfiring. Does anyone know about welding heads??? would it be as strong as before if it got we...

in my cielo 1.5sohc 5spd im using about 10L to 100km. This is with my 2.25" exhaust, extractors and pod filter and ignition timing advance. also, this is whilst doing pizza delivery in the suburbs using 98 octane bp ultimate and we all know how pizza boys drive :P i think highway driving is around t...

i was just wondering if its possible to get a more aggressive cam profile for my daewoo cielo 1.5 SOHC??? or would i need to get some kind of aftermarket ECU?? also, will the stock ECU handle porting and polishing of the head?? Has anyone done any of this?? did you notice a power increase??

machining the head just means they are making it flat... i had it done to my old falcon and to the cielo when the head gasket blew. they just take off a teeny little but to make sure that it sits nicely ontop of the headgasket. im sure if you want then to take a little more off they could probably d...

my friend who seems to be some kinda of master mechanic advanced my ignition timing for me today... HUGE difference to the performance. revs higher, quicker response, more torque. Only downside is i have to use 98RON petrol and it stalls on idle sometimes this was on a 1.5L SOHC cielo engine... so o...

i was thinking that because the SOHC and DOHC engines both have the same capacity (1498cc) they may be using the same block. If this is the case then i would be keen on just swapping heads, rocker cover etc. Anyone know anything about a conversion like this one?
