On behalf of Qikstagea I can confirm the rear lights are S1 - He did have a nice set of clear side indicators - but the left side got squished by the pole. Motor is completely stock. Surprisingly the FMIC is still intact

I have bought the blow off valve, throttle body and weather deflectors.

Cruiseliner - See above post - I already have the wind deflector/shield, sorry.

hey mate i seen ya post i wasnt sure if u meant the same things so i posted anyway :laugh: sorry for trying to steal the goodies :rofl:

Hi mate - wounded when I saw the pics of your ride up mate ;) - I was hoping it was some sick PhotoShop joke - anyway like you said its only metal at the end of the day - you walked away and thats all you can ask for I quess.

If you've got 'em I'm after the little clear lenses on the interior roof lights 'cause mine are cracked, and also the high level brake light assembly if thats still in. Small packets to the UK shouldn't be too bad I guess but I'll pay the price anyhow of course. Cheers mate and here's to your next ride! :)

yeah i sent him some money for a fuel cap, but now he wont answer any pm's and i sent the money over two weeks ago

...and he has logged on to the forums but is ignoring my PM's!!!!!!!!!!!

now i guess every one has a "little" of rob in them :(

That's very sweet!

I hope Rob doesnt mind me replying on his behalf...I didnt know the guy until I went round just to poke my nose under the tarp covering his beloved car. Back then - a couple of weeks ago, he was being very philosphical about the accident. But, as with any post truamatic experience, by now the reality will have set in, along with the nervous shivers that you get every time you think about what 'could' have happened.

I'm sure the rest of his family are constantly reminding him of 'what if' and while they probably dont mean any harm, sometimes the off handed remark can cut deep into a bruised and bloodied conscience.

It would be next to impossible for him to go outside and strip bits off the car without reliving the whole emotional experience. If he has ever gone outside to look at it again since I was down there, I would be surprised.

I suppose there was some truth hidden in one of Rob's early post when he said that if any one wanted anything they would have to come around to get it.

The grille has become an icon of survival.

Anyhow, I'll shut up now and let Rob speak when he wants/needs to.

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
