[redeyez]

Hey fellas anyone knows where I can source the clip for gas tank door?

[BrotherHood]

Fellas, I getting some aftermarket cross drilled and slotted rotors for $600. The seller says it is a direct replacement and it is brand new. Can these be mounted and clear my existing OEM 14" wheels, provided they are direct replacements? Should I even consider this?
If yes, I making a purchase tomorrow.
I need rotor disks anyway. My current OEM ones are warped.

[Dave]

If u never cut then cut. Those rotors aren't good.

[BrotherHood]

Fellas yesterday during midday i was stuck in traffic and realised my temp gauge was about 3/4. Never reached that point before.
When i drove, it went back down to half, i monitored it for about two traffic lights and everytime i stopped it slowly went back up.
So i decided to turn off the ac and the temperature stayed at the half mark and hasnt passed yet.Ran the ac this morn on my way to work and it was good.
What i looking at here a radiator flush or a radiator cap?
Dont think its the ac causing the issue but some where along the cooling system.
Any one ever experience this before?

Check an see if both fans working.

[nissan4life]

Check an see if both fans working.

yea boy daniel ac working good,both fans on. Only thing i didnt wait to see is if the ac fan working intermediately and if the rpm dying and kicking back in.

I kow the ac puts a extra load on the engine, so dont kow if that contributed and this was in stand still traffic in midday sun, as i drove and the system would cool(go back to half mark).

Wha exactly you did? u went kia ent.lol
I take out thermo long time, radiator aint losing pressure caz my coolant up. havnt seen any signs of a leak anywhere
I ll flush radiator and then try controller caz it working good to my knowledge.

[wagonrunner]

n4l. cs3 overheating was caused my radiator that was never cleaned prior to my use.

when last was yours properly serviced?

[idlemind]

When you say your coolant is up you mean in the reservoir and radiator? or both?
Sometimes depending on where the leak is, you wont see any run offs.. it will evaporate.
Put back in a thermo...
I think my case was a failing condenser fan...

[idlemind]

On a serious note, PM me if any of you want to upgrade to a 1.5 local CY.

[nissan4life]

wagon runner never serviced nah, will check your post
idle both radiator and overflow at appropriate levels.
I suspect the ac fan or the radiator

And why the arse a kia man tryin to inveigle meh into buyin another lancer when you dun jump ship and wa sheit up men in here.

[idlemind]

Coz de Kia forum ded...I've explained this already...

[de_dougla_smurf]

Kia doh give chubble so no forum activity.

Maybe when they start to come roro it might get busy like the tiida ched/forum.

[BrotherHood]

So why you doh upgrade?

[ZeroOne]

meh I see idles point with the kia but that switch seems to work good for HIM for NOW. Everyone has different circumstances.

I am very happy with my GDI. Never had any breakdown on road at all (had this car for over 6 years), all major parts never changed. Odo at approx 220k.

Plus its not that expensive to maintain. Why spend thousands behind a next car when this one working and looking just as good?

[idlemind]

ah jus pullin allyuh leg fellas..

BH the only CY i'll be interested in is the 2.0 GT but DM digging out ppl eye for a 2008 car.
Maybe if they get serious with a new model.

Zero boy I agree with you, your CS never had anything major issues so i could understand your stand.
Way I see it, sell when the car working good so you get the most out of the sale with a clear conscience.
The way the market price keep dipping for CS models it will be hard to sell if you wait till something acts up.
You are right with everyone having different circumstances. If the car is working good and looks as good then hold on to it until you ready to move on.

[BrotherHood]

I jus wilding yuh inno...doh take me to serious there at all because as it stands, a Lancer will not be my next vehicle.
The GT Lancer with big nice front grill and the 18" wheels, which is the only CY that is appealing to me and would upgrade too, really is too damn expensive. I ca afford dat right now.

Like Zero, I have not had major issues except a transnission rebuild. That, in my opinion, was poor maintenance by the first user. Never shut down. Extremely reliable, looks good, decent on gas and has a world of aftermarket upgrades. I also believe I could get a 50K for it in current condition at 200K KMs. Paid slightly more three and a half years ago.

[ZeroOne]

Yea upgrading to the new lancer is not that affordable.

Thing is that I don't have any plans of selling this lancer ever. To me its just one of those things that are too good to let go.

Plus it wouldn't sell for a huge amount anyway, if I get an additional vehicle that would be great because the CS would be a back up car since I need a vehicle for my job.

highly doubt that it is because men not experimenting yet wait till idle out of warranty see how active the forum will get
