Nah man. Im keen to meet up with yas at lanyon or something sometime if you guys are interested. DO you still meet there before going to the museum or is it woden now?

The final konnexion kit does look sweet. Not sure what im gonna go with, will wack on some wheels and some decent suspension and see what she looks like first, then either the final kit or the impul kit. Like the impul more but ditch the rear light cover thing. Money money money...........need to pay off the loan for this thing first, then save up for overseas holiday.>>THEN all my money going into her! Can't wait. i wanna aim for something that looks nice and clean, not over the top, just nice and clean, wanna get a exhaust that just has a nice note to it etc. Make a sleeper out of her yet!

lots good...

Good thing about it is no one else has it.

but unfortunatly for me... a dealer has recently been opened in Australia and NZ... :laugh:

Just the kinda guy that likes to be differenet

Yea yours looks heaps good. really suite it. Hopefully ill have your permission to get one for myne since its pretty diff from yours ;-)

Send me a couple of pics of urs with the mags, i only got the ones we took ages ago with the stock rims.

  • 2 weeks later...

i just fitted an apexi pod. doesnt sound like a vacuum anymore.

it still sucks but more subtle, until high rpm/spool, which suits me fine.

what type of pod you got there? i had a cheapie on before, good flow, but sounded like an open pipe, so i assume filtration wasnt real good.

Finally. Got off my arse and did something usefull. Got my mate to lend me his Simota (or however u spell it) and wacked it on, sounded much quieter, much nicer but the only thing spongy was the throttle..... wasn't heaps noticeable but definatly different to the cheapo pod, felt less responsive. might have just been me though.....after abit of driving around i actually started to miss the sound of gail force winds coming from underneath my bonnet. I am going down the coast end of year, think i will just wack on my stadard box for it, its a little annoying going up a hill cos its continually sucking hardcore! wonder what it sounds like from outside, this car making this sucking noise going past hmm....

i bet you can hardly hear it from outside, until high rpm.

i missed the sucking initially too. it's just that you're used to it.

i even thought that it changed my exhaust note a bit, but it's probably just a case of overly focusing on small things.

i agree! put the cheapo back on and gave the simota back to my mate. Ahhhhh the cheapness.......

on another note, is there some more pics of ur line? love the front bar, its taht banana one aye advertised on this forum? How u get it so low? Is it realy bumpy?

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
