when driving the orion (RS) I get a feeling of worry and dredd. will i make the journey, will it get me there without steam appearing from the bonnet?, or the oil pressure dropping unexpectedly? etc.

if i'm in one of the other toys, which are actually a lot older, i dont have those worries / feelings.

car drives fine.. the air leak does affect the revs though the revs stay high alot but i used to it over the months .. boosts etc and goes all fine though

Jay,

then fix all the leaks dude and see what happens

MO' BENT RIMS

i had that feeling when i bought it and a few things went wrong.. but these months its been erfect and gets driven to work every day so its reliable .. does need the air leak sorting out but i left it because its gonna get stripped and rebuilt

MO' BENT RIMS

MO' BENT RIMS

fair enough, i dont get actual headaches from it though, i meant pretend ones from the constant maintenance it requires.

that needs to be looked at!

Headaches are a common occurrence when travelling at warp speeds .

MO' BENT RIMS

lol always one

Elwood

It's the bent rims. They cause vibration through the structure of the car which in turn causes a headache.

Madgit

Can you smell petrol Mo? I know you say it's running rich.

MO' BENT RIMS

its got new shoes mate lol . 17s team dynamics in athracite

MO' BENT RIMS

yup runs rich . iv always smelt it though but never did me harm much apart from hurting m eyes a bit for ten min then all fine.. but today had a headache.. im beginning to think maybe just 1 of those days then lol because every day its been ok to drive just today

LUCKO

mo its because your always looking in the mirror to see an sti pushing you up the road

these newer/faster cars have hid headlights which can cause headaches to even someone ad experienced as you. try driving with sunglasses dogg

Madgit

Seriously think you need to take your car to a specialist mate and get it sorted once and for all so then you will have one of the best S2s in the country and the pisstaking from people will cease once and for all.

exhaust manifold leak can cause this as the fumes will get in through the heater vents, if exsposed long enough it could knock you out

Exhaust leak can be highly detrimental to your health and can a massive danger if it is big enough and is getting through the vents and into the cabin. CO is odourless and invisible so you won't be alert to its presence if it is there.

mine ran to rich and the fumes gave me a slight canister ache sorted now but just drove with window down

Sort all leaks out mate...then both you and the car will be more healthier.

The noise from the stainless system on my Golf gives me a headache, the 2 hour drive to Donny yesterday was torture, add to that screaming child and narked missus and squeaky wheels on the pram my head was well and truly done in!
Still got the headache now and probably will have until wednesday

Perfectly normal when acclerating at 6g just accept it as a hazard of owning the fastest car there as ever been.

MO' BENT RIMS

yup i did feel like i was gong to pass out tbh. was really frustrating felt like setting the car on fire and not seeing it again. but i do know its leaking so aint the cars fault too much . thanks people.. and rod your days are numbered lol

carcollector
