This Series2 is pretty cheap I thought!! Almost consider selling my S1 and buying it for the better motor! Needs another 1K spent on vin/reg/wof.

Non turbo...

Haha yeah whoops, thought it was from RS-4 title, but didn't look it in pics. How could you tell for sure? ....apart from maybe price.. :-\

Engine covers are a dead give away, they are different between turbo and non-turbo. Also intake piping is straight from the airbox, not enough pipes there.

Cheers

well that probably explains a lot...

it DOES say turbo on the j-spec link though... and i didnt think you could import the non-turbos, as they didnt meet performance / power/weight criteria or something like that?

was drooling over my baby last nite looking at all the pics and noticed what apear to be 2 ariels at the back on the roof next to the racks.has anyone seen theese type of thing before??? hence it may have a usless jap tv lol

They are still on my car!!! I like em and wont take em off. Looks weird, looks cool, looks STAGEA

They are TV/Sat Nav Rabbit ears antenna. My S1has the remnants of the sticky shit from the D/S tape. Still dont know how to get it off without buggering the duco.

Also I guess it is why my CD dont work. Because some FW took out the Sat Nav and stuck in a stocker Head Unit.

Its my next job to fix.

Rome was not built in a day.

directed at 66yo stagea.

have you tried eucalyptus oil to get rid of the sticky stuff or even BIG KEV'S goo remover? i have found either of these to get rid of most things gooey!!

stereo is sorted for my new baby ive picked the new rims out just gotta wait for her to get here so they can fit one up to make sure it fits ok.i dont wanna get em and not fit hey.

lol, its amazing how much money you can spend doing up a car, without even seeing the car with your own eyes.

oh my god im an ebay junky lol just got the stagea owners manual

I was gonna put in bids on those items, but considering I have no funds to allocate towards them, I wisely decided against it.

hehehehe and i havent stopped counting the days yet, but getting close :P

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
