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

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
