Anyone cruising this weekend? Only had my car a week and a half and want to test it out....... 1993 S1 GTSt V spec...... Only got a Poddy and HKS super dragger exhaust, and front and rear strut braces...... Soon to put boost controller in (when warrranty wears off), PFC, FMIC, and maybe bigger turbo depending on how the stock one copes at higher boost levels...... Got to suss some bigger (wider) rims aswell.

Does anyone know whether the PFC will work with active LSD...... I couldnt get a confirmed answer out of anyone on the other forums. (From what i have gathered some people have had problems and others havnt????????????).

I live in the hills so have a fun drive on greenhill road every day? -- looking for other liners to boot with!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

thats why i dont take the line out. cause i know that if i leave it for a while then the car wont fire up. also, i noticed that when i go to start the car then the battery needs to be completly charged before it would even struggle to start. The alternator drains the crap out of the battery though. btw pete's going to have a word with his electrican friend who will hopefully give a quote on how much a rebuild will cost.

apparently the problem with mine is the regulator, and there is no replacement part. im picking up a 2nd hand one next week. car went on the dyno too but the fuel pump wasnt happy above 4500RPM we think thats due to the alternator problem

when you realised your alternator was playing up, how did you manage to start the car sam? did you clutch start it or jumper start it......??

had to jumper start it, i havent really driven it much since that

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
