cool, ill be there monday :) (gawd its an sau convention this week!)

there's also a bus on mahoneys rd that runs every 25mins or thereabouts.. route.. 560? which stops at keon park station. Goes between broadmeadows station <> greensborough station&shops.. so you could go shopping in greensborough also.

And you don't need to walk the length of Lipton Dr to get back to mahoneys, you can turn right down aylward ave :D

There is a place in Baysie thats a lot closer to ya Scott if you dont wanna travel out to Thomastown

I think the name of the place is TechSport or similar.

If you get the kit from the groupbuy and take it there, you shouldnt have an issue.

If i recall the do a massive amount of road/rally EVO's and that sorta thing.

yeah

go see Jeff Beaumont at Techsport

how did you guys go? PS there's a good pie/pastry shop on Mahoneys Rd that has bacon/egg rolls etc in the AM too.

On Saturday night I realised something was really wrong with the suspension.. I was almost in the gutter every time I hit a bump.. it had gotten incredibly worse over the course of a week.. luckily I was already booked in for a wheel alignment and got Chris to have a look on Monday.

Unfortunately the back right, sh1tty, 2nd hand, stock suspension I put in (not chris) to clear the defect was completely fux0red and leaking everywhere. Explains the stain on the driveway I noticed earlier in the week at least...

Chris managed to get new rear shocks in there and all sorted on Monday for a very reasonable price and it feels like new now :dry:

One good thing about Chris is that everytime I've had a problem, if he's had to fix/swap something, he always shows me the deteriorated part when I pick the car up, don't even need to ask...

hehe ya i went to the pie shop aswell... had like 3 of them, god there good pies :dry:

oh and yeah (got distracted by the thought of the pies) chris and his guys did a gr8 job installing all my suspension and telling me what it all does etc :D

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
