Yeh Andy, Dad was considering it but the 26k is slightly out of his price bracket thanks to your awesome mods! ;)

Umm. If I could find out the fuel economy for our car now.. I know its an older model n all but it does quite well on fuel would you possibly offer a trade with a sum of money goin your way also?

It is still a wagon lol.. Still manual, Runs beautifully Think about it??*scringes face* :)

Ill talk to dad n see what he is comfortable with. Time to put on my sales cap. see what working 2 weeks at Beacon lighting has taught me lol.

Cheers Andy

if $26k is out of your price range,how's just under $25k? there's a yellow S2 at Edward Lee's on parramatta road that's been there since I bought my S2 almost a year ago. noone will touch it because of the colour it would seem,as it's fine otherwise. I sat in it when it was at E&M Unique, and bought my silver S2 the same day from them,which was out back and not fully delivered at the time. go check it out and offer the guy $20k. if it's still there after chrissie,try again,he might take the offer,you never know. ;-)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
