Think I'm going to have to give PI a miss. Gotta clear a defect, and try get bigger brakes and a rear strut brace in time. Spewing :laugh:

Should be right for Sandown though :D Lucky I'm doing DT otherwise I'm in modified class :D

That's a shame, saw your car at Protek today...

What brakes you upgrading to??

Haha, it's there to get the car ready for a RWC so I can clear a canary.

Most likely get R33 GTS-t rotors and calipers up front, and see how that goes. Hopefully I don't get too much front brake bias. Be good going from single piston to four :D

If my car isn't ready, I'm definately down there to watch anyway :laugh:

haha I already packin' some spares :wub:

The car already has 242rwkw's, just don't use it on the track, so I don't think the jump in power will feel that great to me. My old RX7 was faster I reckon, and a hell of a lot scarier!! :happy:

Want to run around 1.3-1.4bar, but we'll see how it goes. It's a high comp motor (9:1), so we'll see how it reacts. Coils are stock for now.

It's already breaking down a bit at 1.4bar, but we'll give them a clean and see how they go, if not I'll order in some splitfires. I might also put a map in for 100 octane and see how it goes on that.

My other cam gear and timing chain just arrived from japan, so we're set!

Shane: You shouldn't have too big of an issue man. I run S14/32 brakes up front with single pot rears and I don't have an issue. just match your pads well. Once my rear pads went it was REALLY tail happy under brakes, so the rear pads are really important!

RS500: PI can't be your first track day unless you do DT I think.

Troy: It'll be good to see how far the old jigger will go man. I'd be interested to see with my engine too, but I'd rather pull it out and sell it while it's still in good health, and I need a few other leaks, cracked manifold and stuff fixed up at the same time, hence my decision to do it early.

Same turbo for now Troy, but we'll see how it goes. My guess is that it's going to be the limiting factor in what power I produce, but I like the setup so I'm keen to push it as far as I can.

Because it's a high comp setup, I'm hoping the turbo will cope well enough with the boost I plan on running, but we'll see, it's not particularly big...

You guys arent going to know what hit you. Mor eboxes were just delivered to work.... :P

hahaha looks like the challenge is set!

Just need to hire V8 Supercars and learn PI now... :happy:

Details on said boxes??

    • 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  
    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
