right..some of you guys are complete wankers but anyway theres always got to be a couple of keyboard warriors around...

After searching for a decent example and looking over maybe 15-20 lines in the last 2 months or there about i have found the one of me. Heres the link for it.

I got Ray and Pete over at RE Customs to have a look it and all was well. The car has a compression result of 155 across all 6 and Pete says there is no evidence on the chassis that the car has been in an accident. I took it to my local panel beater for an inspection and he couldnt find a spot where the panels didnt line up or where the paint looked dull because of dodgy work - more important he didnt find a spot of rust or bog. The car is basically in really good condition. I have over shot my budget a bit however as i planned to keep a couple of grand for a few mods straight away but thats not a real problem as ive got something which is going to last.

The car goes into Vicroads on tuesday for an inspection as ill be the first owner in Australia. All up including stampduty number plates booking fees etc it ended up $17220

There were plenty of other series 2's for under the 15k mark but many had been in accidents or didnt have good compression results.

Free plug to Ray & Peter at Re Customs and to Robert at Sabbadin Automotive who gave me great honest feed back.

Its got

3 1/2 inch turbo back exhaust

A pod and a BOV

soooo its pretty stock.

Mods soon to be will be a fmic and a comp first.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
