That looks pretty good actually! :)

I havent had any trouble too much with clearance, but if it quite a steep hill or something like that i try to go on a real big angle!

MissR34, thats coz ur car is not lowered :( or is it??

at stock height but when i was at murray bridge i went down a drive way that was quite steep and scraped underneath :rolleyes: and even going out of my mums drive way (thats not even a steep one) if im not a an angle i will scrape cause i did it once!

nicely done. yeah bonnet is a good idea maybe black or part black to match the lip. and perhaps do something about the orange blinkers aswell :thumbsup:

those rims CE28's??

do 18's raise the car a little? relative to riding on 17's?

i've got 110mm clearance... have to be very careful. Angled attack is my friend :thumbsup:

helps to have a plastic injected moulded bar, as opposed to fibreglass. Mine would definitely have cracked by now.

got flex? :rolleyes:

8" and 9" respectively. More pics and info in my blog: Work Emotion XD9

Hi Bro

Nice informative Blog plus the Impul front bar so it's time to get the side & rear to match. The only way to go down any steep ram is to take the most left then turn right on full lock so once u feel you tyre touching the base level then turn left again to lift the front (fingers crossed). Im surprised by the amount of steep rams i could go through in shopping mall parking. Even huge speed hump i could steer straight (though sub-conciously will do a turn left & right also).

Anyway we all learn it somehow to drive it. Cheers!

On the front bar .. Just jap sell them now .. also I think jet speed (wouldnt buy from them from what ive heard tho) and I think bodyform might have them too

Im concidering a top secret bar and impul or do luck back and skirts .. I might just go all do luck tho .. Im so confused.. Plenty of time while i pool cash tho ;)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
