Hey dude, amazing car, bafflles me why it hasn't sold yet... Can you PM me the info of that alarm you have with the fuel cut/SMS thing? Thanks.

Yeah I may or may not have a big boxing day, and certain organics chill in your system for a while. Thanks rowan that was good info!

Sorry to Hijack thread, but my car runs at 62 degrees operating temp ever since my aftermarket ECU install about 13 months ago. It takes ages to reach that temp too. I've edited the correction tables so that 62 degrees is now the operating temp (i.e. no fuel or ignition timing corrections). Does anyone have any idea why my new ECU caused my temps to drops so suddenly? It still rises to about 80-90 deg when it's idling in traffic, and the thermos come on @ 92 deg and off @ 88. I'm assuming because the original tune had heaps of ignition timing taken out due to a small turbo and a restriction (i've since upgraded the turbine housing to a bigger one)? Any ideas? p.s. It's been running like this for 30,000kms+ and I still return good fuel economy given the engine and power (11-13L/100km).

Thanks. Not sure if it's done through Care point or Prime I'll have to check with the employer to be 100% I guess.

Hey guys, Recently I just got a new job, and my employer has told me that I'll have to do a 'medical'. I havn't been able to contact them since, as it's been holidays. Having never done one before, what would it entail? Height, weight, eye test, lung capacity etc? More specifically would it involve a drug test of some sort? I'm not into the illegal stuff, just wanting to know what I would be faced with. Also what are the legalities regarding said testing? Got into a discussion with my friends and they seem to be under the impression that they have to notify me if it involves a drug test or not, but I need some more advice. I'm assuming it's just for legal and insurance purposes? Any experiences appreciated. Thanks. {edit} The job is for a luxury car dealership in Ossy Park, working in spare parts.

Get a nice stainless cat in there for good measure. shouldn't have any affect on AFRs. Unless the factory o2 sensor is located AFTER the cat, which it's not. there's simply no way the cat can effect the fuel mixtures. At the tailpipe, YES, but at the turbo/motor/head, NO.

Welcome dude! HEAPS of info for your model. happy searching!

Author should give the vid to the cops. What more evidence do they need?

Those wheels suit it sooo well!

If ya wanna pay $200+/hour for tuning, sure it's easier to just leave it to the pros. If you have an aftermarket engine computer installed, the factory o2 sensor will be worthless 99% of the time. If you wanna save some money, you can install an o2 sensor and providing you have a laptop, you can tune yourself to avoid a trip back to the tuner's place every time you change something small... <- that's the reason I did it! Plus you can always get another o2 bung welded into your exhaust, and leave the stock one alone, and who said it had to be tacky? you don't even need a gauge, you can wire the o2 sensor into the ECU, and read it all from a laptop if you're afraid of having a tacky looking gauge.

Cool story bro.

Yeah my LC-1 has a recurring bug, but i 'downgraded' to the old firmware and works like a treat. having known this before i would've gone for a AEM UEGO, but at the end of the day, i've got a wideband that works fine, just took a little more fuckin around.

This. Or check the intercooler piping, if it's running like poo at idle or missing at all, I'd say its an air leak. Otherwise, its probably the turbo, because if the boost controller was faulty, it would just run actuator pressure, so about 5-7psi or .4-.5 bar. 0.07/8 bar isn't even worthy of calling boost...

no, they screw into a bung like the factory narrowband sensor. they can directly replace the stock one and still work with the factory ECU. however if you want to run a wideband o2 in the first place, there's a good chance you don't even use the factory ECU anymore...

don't install the tacho. unless the stock one doesnt work, they are a pile of wank.

Fixed.

I payed $220 delivered for my innovate LC-1. Accurate as balls, easy to set-up.

that nipple is for the wastegate actuator.

looking good brah... any news with the overheating pump?? wierd.

And a fucking after-market airbox!??? Show me the legislation that clearly prohibits an airbox. An air box wouldn't affect emissions as it doesn't interfere with any sensors, noise, ground clearance or structural integrity. And the dumbfuck coppa ticked suspension when a strut brace is clearly classed as a chassis/body mod. I just LOL at the fact that coppers think that these type of things are somehow increasing road safety and reducing the road toll.

Or just buy an LC-1 wideband and get tuning yourself! Then get it touched up and ignition timing advanced professionally on the dyno. PFCs aren't that hard to understand from what I hear.

20k. For a good example.

Great joke man... lul

hmm sounds like a bit of a lemon mate... :| Was it running fine before your service? If so, check and re-check everything you've done to it since, then once you're finished, check it all again. Sounds like a cylinder isn't firing, try being in the engine bay, hold the revs up with the throttle (maybe jam a screw driver in it so you have two hands, then systematically unclip the coilpacks and see which one doesn't effect the engine, when you find this, that's the cylinder that isn't firing, then go from there.
