No seano really good .... The youngest guy/kid did the job for me and he treated my te37s and car with with nothing but respect :-) although I was hovering over him the whole time ....as I have had some crap experiences with tyre and rim shops in the past !!

Haha beers are always included but best of luck with trying to drink the fridge dry!

I usually use Bob Jane but only take the wheels and tires in there for them to fit then put em on at home. But i need a wheel alignment i think, not sure if i trust them with my car

good to hear, was he a tall/skinny bloke?

haha i didn't watch the bloke that did my allignment at tyrepower but they did a good job and took care of the car.

that would make me nervous, but if he did a good job then it's all good. I bet everyone would of been starring at your car in there, most people in Mackay aren't used to seeing cars that aren't commodores.

I have a Canon 550D, facebook absoloutly destroys the quality of the photos but, I upload them to Flickr because it doesnt really affect quality. I have about 500 photos from F1 but unfortunatly most of them are from behind the fence I was sitting at, but anyway, learnt from our mistakes this year and will get seats at the back so I can zoom over the fence next year :)

The Merc's run an AMG Motorsport 5L V8, amazing looking and sounding engine, I might upload a video, they really sound better in real life then they do on TV.

I might try and upload a video

Might buy a 60D next year

Took an A4 for a drive here in Townsville today half hoping it would talk me out of it a bit. But wow what a nice car to drive

Useless information for most, but just throwing it out there. Only car related thing I've done. Not enough time really to see any of the Townsville guys because of my busy schedule :P

If this rain F*@#'s off I can get a start on my engine next time im home. About time I did something about it.... then just have to get the link tuned

Nah was at a used car lot, was red, wasnt sold on that lol. They tried pretty hard..... I bet i get phone calls tomorrow

All good, I'll wait for one in white :)

Haha yep if he's clued on he will stay in touch with you. Do they come in sort of an Ivory Pearl white or just standard white? A4's look awesome lowered with a nice set of wheels, i particularly like the white/black combo

just a solid white gloss, nothing to special but effective. Look great with the S-line mags and LED lights which are the 2 things I want on the car. Full S-line kit will be the go but can live without it

Probably wont lower it, it was so nice to drive in standard form I wouldnt want to ruin it

Weird with the CVT, driving along sitting at 4000rpm constant with my foot down. Was pretty speedy for the size with the 1.8Turbo

Yeahhhhh I havent been talked out of it at all lol

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
