I bought the filter and a bottle of red line fuel treatment , cost me $525.00 total. Also i priced the filter oil its not bad $69.00. Car Boutique is opposite police barracks in st james, just pass roxy(pizza hut). Oh yeah K&N model 33-2105, the lancer breathing alot better now. Now i have to find a guy to clean the injectors

what filters you guys using and where are you getting them\price$ ?

I am only finding FRAM in teh places taht i go in South

bnrampage · Postby **bnrampage** » March 3rd, 2007, 8:09 am

Hey as you talking about oil filters, i going to try castrol syntech for the next oil change but how often do you change syntech, same 5,000 miles or more and if more what oil filter to use because a friend told me if i'm going syntech go to DM to get the original filter because the normal fram i use may not last more than 5,000 miles and with syntech the filter may not hold out with the extra milage.

venum · Postby **venum** » March 4th, 2007, 9:29 pm

^^^ I can only find FRAM, I hope this is not the case across teh country

CASTROL Syntec is a full synthetic oil?

if so then you can safely do 10,000km on it

but your mech is right when he told you to get a better filter for such a long duration,

cuz in my experience, FRAM ain't all that great, so I will not want to use that beyond 5000km

bnrampage · Postby **bnrampage** » March 6th, 2007, 2:13 pm

Yeah it is ,there also a half real half syntech oil ,can't remember the name , but what filter last longer than 5000km.
But hey to all CS3 owners , whats is the Ds for on the selector , is it the same and second gear ?
the manual has it as Drive sporty but how do you really use it

fras · Postby **fras** » March 6th, 2007, 2:43 pm

I believe its 2nd & 3rd Gears... Computer decides what gear (2nd/3rd) depending on engine speed & rpm.
The manual says to use it for extra power going up hill... I have other uses for it :twisted:

CVT DOESN'T HAVE GEARS :!:

it's Drive sport

if yuh using it, please do not use it for too long, unless yuh have a ext tranny oil cooler

cause the CVT heats up pretty fast

teichou · Postby **teichou** » March 6th, 2007, 11:47 pm

where do you all get cvt tranny fluid?
this dia queen is nearly impossible to locate

fras · Postby **fras** » March 7th, 2007, 12:43 am

Does the GDI 4G93T has the electronic throttle like other GDI's (sensor instead on throttle cable)?
And give the same problems as 1.5 GDI?

can evo 7 headlights fit on a cs3a?

bnrampage · Postby **bnrampage** » March 9th, 2007, 12:44 pm

Nope but you can get the "eye lids" to give it the evo look

teichou · Postby **teichou** » March 9th, 2007, 12:58 pm

nah i like how the evo 7 lights are arranged
are there any aftermarket look alikes that might fit?
and where can i get eyelids ?

venum · Postby **venum** » March 9th, 2007, 10:52 pm

you can get the eyelid effect at any graphics shop

cut and style the vinyl and stick over the lights

I find that the eylid effect on teh CS3's don't look too hot

on the JDM Cedia's with teh double lamp headlights it looks better

fras · Postby **fras** » March 13th, 2007, 9:23 am

teichou Just buy ah Xenon Kit and relax yuh self

fras · Postby **fras** » March 14th, 2007, 11:13 am

By the way...
The manual says the headlight bulb type is H4, does it mean that you can just swap the halogen bulb for ah H4 bulb?

teichou · Postby **teichou** » March 18th, 2007, 10:01 pm

where is the mas air flow sensor on the 4g18 located?
a pic will be greatly appreciated

Rainman · Postby **Rainman** » March 19th, 2007, 4:05 pm

^^^^^^^^^on top of the intake manifold (little black device)

venum · Postby **venum** » March 19th, 2007, 5:36 pm

I got a filter other than FRAM

ASCO

AO-154

will post some pics of it

specifically for a 4G3X, 4G1X and 4G6X engine

changed in both my CS3 and teh GF CS3 Saturday

I will let you know how it works as time progresses

as for the MAF sensor

teh 4G18 is MAP sensed not MAF sensed

4G15 GDI is MAF sensed

teh MAF sensor is located on the air tubing behind air box i.e between the airbox and the Throttle body

but 4G18 doesn't have MAF sensor
