    D1 ABS brakes issue

    there is info out there that says that the software in the brain is faulty. i got sick of mine causing unsafe conditions such as not stopping on dry pavement while pedestrians cross in front of me. i clipped the sensors at the wheel so they still block dirt from getting in and pulled the bulb...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    been running on highway with same r380 and its still like a new engine. slowly figuring out how to best insulate or deflect heat from air box. the air being shoved in will vary with daytime and nightime sun cold winter what have you...but keeping the air box cool will be the key. the whole time...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    my mod will get that down to 110 easy. in traffic. under 100 going at least 25 or 30 mph. its that good. cover air box with a folded 4x6 welding blanket and get the air from the front up thru where the cruise pump is. i only get over 100 when it has been idling with ac on.and its a black truck...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    holy crap that is high. i would immediately start getting it from the fender and then figure out how to do get the air from the front like i did. i would have tried the fender first but i wanted more force and the front is the better choice for that i think. much different rover after this mod...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    not yet but i have always had those heat socks installed around the spark plug wires. that has allowed me to run cheap gas in california. no detonation or knocks after i put in the socks. pricey but it has been worth it. I think wrapping headers may just keep the heat on the header and crack...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    which would in turn cause the actual temp in the air box to rise as well. all be it not as quickly but in the course of a trip it would well worth the effort to insulate from that heat. not a bad idea to make one for the manifold as well just to get the heat reflected back under the rig to get...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    i do agree the fender would be a much better place from which to draw air, and its already there for a snorkel install later. it would look really nice to have the nostril for the ram air jutting out from the side like a shelby mustang had in the back for cooling the brakes...hmmmm... is there...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    in hindsight,i see that the hole thru the fender may be a quicker and effective solution than my ram air setup from the lower cowling, but then you get no ram air velocity. also, you still need to find a way to insulate all of it from the engine compartment. it may be a more tedious project...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    the temps just go down on the highway too.usually lower than the 89 i said earlier, especially in the morning and night. that air box gets crazy hot. they should have encased the engine in more shielding or some louvres to direct the heat out. and why is that intake trumpet in the engine...

    do this now- air intake temps down

    didnt take any at all but its pretty easy once you figure out where it goes in and how you are going to route it. the air intake box will require some trickery but its worth it. i have been at it for a week or so of small adjustments so its got to be done for the love of it. I have never felt...

    97 D1 drive ability problem

    I have made the mistake of using a k&n air filter. that has set off an 1171 because the maf doesnt like the oil from the filter. it takes a while for the adaptive values to re-learn after stumbling around with oil on the maf. maybe just disconnect battery for a bit and plug the maf in after that.

    Temp gets hot when sitting at light too long

    my D1 did the same thing...turned out the space between the radiator and a/c had detritus that meant hot temps going slow. It was good on the freeway but climbing or hot city traffic was causing overheating. easy, free fix and it will be obvious that it needs cleaning but you have to look. On...
