[rxmx]

Happy bday

Wish my bro would buy me a new turbo setup hehe

[Dweezle]

Thanks Guys.
I have always Drooled over ABSURDFLOW gear!!
This is going to be AWESOME!!!!

Regards wrapping your side mirrors, the glass needs to come out first.

Thanks mate, i thought of that but i could not see how to remove the glass on these mirrors.
They do not have that plastic lip on the edge that most do. Kind of a one piece dealeo.
I ended up just painting them Gloss Black. Should have them properly mounted tomorrow.


Did a drive by Revolution RaceGear today and grabbed some Roll Bar Padding.


$13 a piece and they reckon it is CAMS approved.. Not too sure on that but much cheaper than the FIA stuff and fits well.

Still need to tie it on and fit the other piece.

Happy bday

Wish my bro would buy me a new turbo setup hehe

HAHA, dude, You know how much i wanted this!!
Way to much overkill for a bday present but it is INCREDIBLE!!

it is the .64 Housing right?

[rxmx]

Yah mate .64 rear, much more nicer to drive with than the .86 I was running...

[Hjt]

But the day got better!!!
Woke up to a Awesome gift from my Lady.

Wish my girl would get me a decent gift, all i get is t-shirts (the watches are nice though)

Happy Birthday mate, I am sure your going to love the new kit. Suli's car "was" a weapon (will be again soon)

P.s that padding may be legal atm, but next year they want it to be that tougher, harsher product.

[Dweezle]

Some Goodies arrived for me today.

THANKYOU GSLENDER!!




My DIYPNP that G built for me.
BRAIN WHO??


Seriously this guy is a Professional.
I had constant updates on progress.
Built to do exactly what i want it to and even things i do not but Grant assures me i will!
Very different experience to what i went through last time i had a DIYPNP built for me.



Grant also sent me this really cool build sheet so i know exactly what's WHAT!!



I will wait until after this Thursdays AGI TRACK DAY to begin the installation.

Last time i used Innovates lC1 but this time i have chosen the MTX-L.
It appears so much easier to install and get up and running as the brain for it is actually housed in the gauge.




Grant is going to provide me with support for if/when i get in trouble with it running.

Excited to get started!!


I also had my Nitto NT555's put on the car today for the track day. Will be interesting to see if they hold up ok.

Hope you had a good birthday..
Those are really nice pressies.. You must be over the moon

Looks like you have prepared a bit for the track day tomorrow.

THANKYOU GSLENDER!!

Seriously this guy is a Professional.

Thanks Dweezle - I'm sure you'll be up and running quickly. Tuning it yourself is a cakewalk and something you'll wonder what all the "you should always go to the dyno to tune an ecu" is all about !!

Cheers,
G

I hope your right



Well yesterday at about 4am my brother and i left for the drive to Wakefield Park for AGI's Track Day.

IT DID NOT GO WELL!!


We got about halfway to Goulburn and my car was just drinking fuel like crazy.
I could not see a leak or smell anything exterior of the car so decided to just get to Wakefield and sort it out there.
But seriously, like 250k to a tank bad!!

Then about 50ks further along i could just smell that horrible "HOT" smell.
Pulled over again and it appears my radiator had a crack in it right where the bloody taxi reversed into me.
Radiator was close to empty.
At this point i was sick of the car. We dumped it up near a property behind some trees and decided to just go in my brothers NA and leave mine behind.

He had just had a Torsen installed a few days before.
We got about 30ks out of Goulburn and the Diff just started screaming and clunking.

COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.

I swear we where cursed yesterday, I have never had a issue travelling to Wakefield before.

I patched up the radiator and with the help of Highway Patrol (haha) filled it up with water and just kept stopping when i could to top it up.

We just took both real easy, the diff seemed to quiet down under 80kmh.

Took 5 hours to get them home but we made it.

I will pull my engine prob next week and get on with the rebuild ready for the turbo to go on.
I just hope the head is ok.

My plan is currently a budget one.
I just hope the Cylinder Bores are in good enough condition that i can just freshen them up and run the OEM pistons.
I will just replace Bearings and Rods.
Hoping for between 250 and 300hp.

Then further down the track when i know more i will pull it apart again and prob go with High Comp Pistons and E85 only!

If it needs a oversize then i will most likely go with Supertech 83.5mm and Manly Rods.



I wanted to make a lil video of the day with my new GoPro but clearly that did not happen as i was hoping.
Got this far though.

thats balls to the max. good luck with the rebuild.

do you have a stock gear box? you might need a 6 speed if you don't. with your luck there is always christmas!!!!!

[Sean]

Sorry to hear all the issues man.
Awesome to hear G hooked you up - The one piece of good news in the story...

[Dweezle]

do you have a stock gear box? you might need a 6 speed if you don't. with your luck there is always christmas!!!!!

HAHA, i wish!! yeah stock 5 speed. 6 speed down the track.

Awesome to hear G hooked you up - The one piece of good news in the story...

G IS DA MAN!!!




In other news, i finally had the courage to venture into the garage and check the car out a little bit.
Weird thing is the Radiator still has all the water in it, so no idea how it all came out on the way down.
All i can think is the top hose might have been dodgy as i removed that and reseated it before filling up with Highway Patrol Water.
Will investigate further.

I decided to try the DIY Code Reader.
Man this is awesome!!!

Cost like $3 and works a charm.

Turns out the only code in the system is Code 15 - OXYGEN SENSOR OUTPUT LOW.
Now, i have replaced the O2 sensor but the connector was missing from the car. It actually had no O2 sensor hooked up when i got it.
I ended up with a almost new O2 sensor and just crimp connected it to a wire and crimped that end to the Loom where the connector should be.
I will disconnect the battery and clear the codes and see if it comes back.
May be why the fuel economy is damn bad!!



Can anyone tell me if for example the O2 code is showing will it run in SAFE MODE until i clear it?
IE does it stop trying to use the O2 sensor after a fault?

[Dweezle]

So i cleared the ECU by by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few minutes.
Checked and had no codes stored so i went for a bit of a drive.

Came home and checked codes again. (seriously this little LED and resistor is amazing!!)
O2 was not stored but i had a new code.



Code 34 it appears.
Which thanks to GOOGLE seems to be ISCV.
Now that is not a surprise as i have no idle control.
The car starts with a really low idle and then once warm has a 1200 rpm idle.
The idle adjust screw does nothing so i think the iscv may just be stuck open or something?

When i flick over to MS i have a NA8 Throttle body with VTPS ready to go. So this should no longer be an issue.
