my bro changed his standard panel filter for a k&n on his 850r, and he reckons its a lot more responsive...... but, if you can stretch to it, id personally go for the full induction with the r.i.p....

If the handling is as bad as you describe and you have decent tyres on , personally I think the geometry/suspension etc has a problem. I wouldnt have thought that a large heavy front wheel drive car...
OK so a lot of power through the front will never be that great in the wet, but make sure your tyre pressures are correct EVERY week, even a couple of pounds out (invariably at the rear) will dictate...
Hi
This sounded like my car :-( Bought a strut brace made a huge difference , also just had new tyres got Toyo Proxes pr1's they seem good in the wet.
I had the 4 wheel alignment done and...
Vreds or Nokian tyres get very good write-ups.
Just a thought, but check the camber & the wheel alingment.
If it's as poor as you're saying it may not be the tyres that are causing the problem. And I also reccomend a strut brace. (you never...
Strut brace is about £50 so worth trying I'd say. Though I find most of the FWD cars to suffer badly in the wet... I just don't even try pushing them hard any more if it's slidey weather...
I bought my brace just cause I wanted something shiny in the engine bay and didn't want to spend too much on the car, didn't expect much but it's made a huge difference.
The wheels spin but it's...
Mine was terrible on Pirellis (even in stock form)
not the same model - but I found that the strut brace has made a BIG different to traction, should make an even bigger difference in the older...
don't worry about the lambda light mine has been on for nearly 2 years, just gone thru mot 2 months ago, emissions great well below limit, mine runs on gas also so my lambda is confused but i have...

IIRC its fuel / exhaust related.
Pull the codes and see what comes up.
Do you mean the Lambda Light ? ( Triangle )
would get the codes read matey asap either dealer/ independant or maybe somebody on here can help
Just a point worth noting, you can't check anti roll bar links easily with one wheel jacked up as it loads up the anti-roll bar and takes out the play. It's better to check them with the wheels on...
i had the same knocking and it turned out to be anti roll bar links. I check everything and everything looked 100% no movement from nothing but on smooth road no knock but on town roads knock changed...
I had the same thing on mine ( 855 ) it turned out to be the wishbone bushes.
Changed the wishbones and its stopped :B_thumb:
If changing them i always change as a pair then get 4 wheel...
