MSPEC - From what I hear its the stainless manifolds that crack not the cast ones, so I'm assuming its the front pipe coz its stainless..... Thanks for the compliment, ur car sounded pretty horn on the straight!!!! The problems started on my last supersprint...

Spot on :)

Great read, been following this thread lately... good for some laughs too :P

What happened to Clayton, did he have a bit of a lose.  hope the car is ok.

Luckily only a small tap on the rear bumper and some paint down the right side but amzaingly no panel damage at all! LUCKY MOFO! :lol:

Rex club not happy with itself? Too bad. Would have been a good event except the massive wait when they stopped for tea (OK I've been watching the cricket) so I decided to go home.

Only got a couple of pics due to the holdup and this was the only decent one.

Yeah never good to see a line against a wall :P even if it wasn't a big hit. Clayton - hope it doesn't hit the hip pocket too much and you get back out there in no time.

Whats all this hissy fit about on the wrx forum??

The hold up was due to the fact that we didn't have another set of flaggies to swap over. We can't ask flaggies to stayout from 5pm - 11pm without bringing them in for a break, some food, toilet etc..

Ideally we'd be able to swap them over in 5 minutes if we could get some of the other clubs racing with us to rustle up some flaggies too...hint wink wink nudge.. :P

I'd normally be straight out there but I might end up with Flaggie of the Year :P

Seriously though I'm just unable to be tied to one spot for too long since the spinal surgery. And I agree on the flaggies too, events don't happen without them and they can't be abused or they don't come back. I'll see how I'm going for Sandown as it appears I won't get to race here (in Vic) again.

I finally got a look at what's going on in the other thread mentioned earlier, and there is some bad EGO going on in the Rex club. I just hope ours survives without going there. You have my sympathies Mike because there are clearly some good guys in the club, but it seems some want to use their time in the club or position on the commitee as a weapon and Ego enhancer. Most of us just buy a faster car/bigger engine if our peckers are too small. There is also no room for humour. Time for a reality check.

Feoff, has anyone ever said your car in upir avatar looks like a VN Group A?  :rofl:

Wont be doing another Vic trackday?  Mate if my car is ready we have to tag team my car! Done! And no arguments

'sif I could get my ass in your seat......

You back and on the sauce already? Just wait till I tell the spelling Nazi's :Oh squizzz:

Fair payback for dissin' my mobile BBQ calling it a commonwhore.

Budge I hear you mate, and I bet there are few who put their hands up for commitee jobs because of it. Tell you what, ditch 'em and come join us, just leave the Superman suit behind.

Not to mention there's a lot of idiots online these days as Snowy has just demonstrated with outstanding skill...

:D

Makes it easy to have him as prez so we have a great target. Stops anyone thinking they are too special or precious....

:rofl:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
