the name was RaceNbounce magazine

they emailed me back asking for some photos of my car for readers rides since its not high modded. but im not going to send any sounds to me like they want to know exactly what is in my car and how do boost it.

the address is [email protected] so just a google email.

yeah i do lock my car up tight, it has a kill switch and 3 point immobiliser so no way its goin anywhere. but if they are pros nuffin can really stop them.

i got it insured for 26 600 so good luck to em haha.

this is the exact email just so ya know

"hmm, seems you got off the email too quickly. well since it doesn't have too many modifications, what we can do is you can send in a couple of high res pictures of your car, and we can put it in the inbox section of readers ride. And when you have more mods maybe we can do a feature artcile on it.

The magazine is called Race n Bounce. It's a new magazine set to be released in late January. It is QLD only and most of our first issues will be released around the Brisbane Cuty area and North , South, East and West locations. Our magazine retails at $6 which is really cheap compared to other ones on the market today.

The magazine not only features performance cars, but also I.T reviews, music, games and technology. So if your interested in sending us a few pictures of your car and what you want to do to it, than feel free to. We will chuck it in the inbox section for you. (for free :worship: )

(also if you know anyone that would be interested in advertising withn our magazine please hit em up with our email, as our prices are very cheap. thanks)

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Fabian

Owner- Race n Bounce magazine."

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
