So are you a panel beater/painter? or just do that as a bit of a hobby sorta thing.

I would just say a hobby, my dad is a painter. and i spose watching him all the time made me like doing it as an on the side thing..

the left hand side rear was hit by a post lol and made a fair bit of damage, so i fixed that for him and did the dash as well.. It doesnt seem to look as good in the pics, but all the parts inside the car have around 7 layers of 2pac clear over it.

I only did it that many times cause that sort of stuff cops a bit of a belting and i have see cars with stuff painted and half of it chiping off.. cant have that now..

pity your in bundy lol

Im gonna start to sand back mine in the next month or so and re-paint it. Paint job is shocking on it so yeh, and fix a few of the dings up. So don't be surprised if you get a few PM's from me lol

:lol: thats ok mate.. PM away, ill help ya any way i can. The only problem i had with the dash was the person who painted it b4... lol some bronze crap colour, It all had to come off. And because anything inside the car has more than likely soaked up shit loads of armoral and many other paint hating chemicals!

use alot of prepsole b4 sanding and aftersanding.

Or you will have fish eyes and paint frying up b4 your eyes,lol

And use some type of plastic primer as well to help the paint stick.

But yeah mate, any problems give me a yell.

Another modified plenium i see there.....

I do wonder if these are any good???

I mean Greddy would have spent millions on R&D of their pleniums... But how much better do u reckon they are???

I mean i just want to cut down on intercooler piping and the crossover pipe cops heaps of heat before i finally get to the plenium....

Ummmm wonder???

I think predator did this conversion also... I may just ask him... LOL

Yeah it was picked up from the coast about a year ago! last easter i think...

Im sure he said that it did have a lot more mods done to it, but when he got it alot of it was put back to stock. But yeah, im not too sure on the full story.

LOL yeah i pulled the TT apart and i painted it to blend into the whole Orange thing..

yeah they are like sandpaper to start with, but to get the best finish i gave it a hard sand to remove the old paint and also to remove the pumpy surface.. Then used some sprey putty to get it dead smooth.

Its a damm nice ride, pleasure to work on :)

I have also heard the g'reedy ones losing power... Cars are funny things.

Anyway, looks heaps nice, other than yeah wheels. I dont like chrome, but I think they would suit this. That or something darker.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
