Personally, I'd be going for an L16 and turbo, blowing through a decent sized carbie of some sort - 45mm Weber, Dellorto or SU, side-draught of course... :angry:

Ahhh, cable ties and gaffa/electrical tape - the drift/drag/circuit racer's and mechanic's best friend! :D

Seriously though, that is some heavy duty damage. ;) Mona, you should keep the parts and display them somehow for memories. Ahhh, the good times!

yeah.. i'm planning on keeping some bits and pieces! maybe melt it all down and make some jewellery :)

Ryan - it was a new tune.. and i'd rather not say tuner

ECR033 - will PM you those details! ;)

Duncan - was not even changing down gears when it happend... wasn't even into a corner... it was on the straight! came around the corner and into 4th.. saw a ping... backed off... then slowly accelerated again... to which her response was to ping like crazy.. now my car has ALWAYS pinged.. its been a never ending story of tuners and octane booster to get her running smoother.. i've always backed off and shes been fine. My biggest problem was i never had a hand controller so i didn't know how badly it was pinging.. i tried to get one, but apexi (for some crap reason) don't do backward compatible hand controllers... so i had nothing to go on

And PLEASE PEOPLE! I DO NOT ACCELERATE INTO THE REDLINE! SO STOP IMPLYING IT!

Thanks morgs! :) i can truely feel some of your pain now :(

Ben - no.. i am not fool enough to continue accelerating through pings :

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
