Well I am now over the shock of the spoiler smash and have had time to take a close look at the new car. As well as the spoiler TNT also put some nice scratches on the car as well. They WILL pay ..make sure you NEVER use them.

Apart for this the car is good for a 6 year old car. I was in shock when I looked at the back muffler....it's huge!...and I was even more surprised when a quick look underneath revealed ..it went as far back as I could see...at least 4 inches.But nice and quiet, just as I like em.

Inside the car is a blitz boost gauge mounted on the A pilar ( have removed for road worthy)..a little clear "thing" with blue leds was siting on the dash (with wires atatched)..the lights flash in sequences when you press the button ...just a japanese decoration???.....and also there is a switch with a red cover over it that looks like a nitrouse/aircraft type switch...I am guessing it's a hi/lo boost switch...guess I find out once I on the road.

Anyway its good to be back in the club. Looking forward to metting up on sunday.

I've yet to see a high/low boost switch in a japanese car. they generally don't run turbosmart style bleed valves over there,which makes sense,as they get a proper EBC for about the price of a slab of beer more than we do for those crap hi/lo bleeders.

the switch is probably for spotlights or something that the previous owner removed before he put the car in for auction.

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
