Well :laugh: got the damn car!! finally. im bringing it in to rego and race oace after that. changrd the filter element with K&N drop in replacement tonite before my bro and i took it for a spin. :happy:

heheh u had fub with it last night!!! will try to post some pics later on. BTW wheres the damn height adjuster for the headlights located at?

Edited by stasis

As you all know i got the car today. I noticed the put on the rims back to front. So i took it to a tyre place for an alignment after the wheels have been swapped from front to back. The camber on the passenger side was way off compared to the drivers side. funnu they couldnt match the camber for both sides they came very close though. I think onedrivers side is 1.75 and the other is1.25 or something. What should the setting be. The car is sitting 350mm front and back from center wheel to the arches.

second thing have you guys heard of a suspension called JECS? cos thats what it is on the car noe and thats all i can make out from.

couple of other issues ocasinally the car will auto lick itself (doors)

Keyless entry works find but cannot disable the larm. after opening the doors via key or remote and i dont put in the key to the ignition the alarms go off. So probably i need a wiriing diag. (anybody knows where i can get one? originals of course if i can).

other than that its find. Ben from Race pace inspected the car and everything seems to be allrtie . Had the car on the hoist and everything. other than that everything is allrtie at the moment.

my opinion, get rid of whatever dodgy alarm is in and get a decent one installed. auto lock is usually because you disarm the car but don't open the door, it assume it was a mistake and locks again.

yea i know but this one got a paging system to it. probably i will leave it ad it is first other than that it wirks fine the alarm works fine.

another thing i forgot that its got a turbo timer in it as well. but sometimes it works sometimes dont. o dpmt knw wheter it works on the oil temp or not. might have to get an autp elec to check it out.

my father is an auto electrician, they have people coming in all the time with dodgy alarms, they usually end up leaving with massive bills, so you are probably better off just putting up with it or getting a new one installed

yea probably i will put up with it first its not a main priority.

ok i was just wondering does the 260rs suppose to have a switch that controls 2wd or 4wd? Also are they suppose to have the head light height adjustments? cos mine doesnt have any of them.

Isn't the headlight adjustment thing just a little screw and you use a phillips??

tighten it and the headlights shine down, loosen it and they shine upwards??

S2's with xenon headlights actually have (might have been optional not sure) an electrical headlight adjustment, so you can adjust them up and down, something to do with carrying extra weight, and because the xenons are so bright, you can adjust them down.

the only adjustment you can make to the torque split is a button located to the left of the steering wheel just above the handbrake on the rs4 so maybe look in the same place on your 260 although your handbrake isnt there its in the centre console

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
