A saw a mighty boy for sale, it says 4wd turbo.

So i had a closer look and year it was fully evo running gear...

The owner says its stock as a rock and runs a 55 lap round QR sprint... Thats quick as...

But when you car weighs less than 600kg's i guess thats expected... :)

Would be fun!

Well im off to my "State of Origin" lunchen, then onto the XXXX brewary and then on to the game to enjoy front row seats on the 50 metre line and then back to XXXX keg room to finish the night off...

Enjoy your day people... Ill talk to you all tomorrow night when Im sober again... :)

Bring me back free beer.

Yeh used Du Point acrylic. My brother painted the car, he needs more practice before he did an out side job, just been doing mates car for around 8 months.

how 'durable' is acrylic compared to 2pack do you know?

i need my car done, and wanna get it in midnight purple/pearle, same as my engine bay. any idea when he wants to do 'outside' jobs and what he'd charge? i can rub it back too, soo all i need is some1 to spray it

Acrylic is easier to spray and make look right, 2pack is thicker and harder to spray and get looking nice. I'd say due to the 2pack being thicker it would be more durable, however you do enough coats of acrylic it will be fine, plus with enough clear it'll look deep.

He would do it now, but I doubt you would be happy. He still has a lot to learn thats all.

Normally it's around $500 plus paint for it to be sprayed.. Depends weather you supply your own cutters/polish (some people prefer certain products). You get what you pay for eh

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • 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.
