Read in the events forum someone wanted to see pics of ivans corolla, after its offroad excursion..

http://www.arach.net.au/~creative/Ivan/

Ivan is fairly ok, he suffered some bruising from the harness and a couple of bruised ribs, but otherwise walked away unscatched from what was a big off..

in short it left the road sideways at about 130-150kph we estimate, and the front left of the car hit a tree on the side, after that he can't remember and we didn't get a chance to ask the official who did see it all happen what did happen, but it ended up on its side front end facing up the hill, by looks of things it did a bit of a prioette in the air judging by the gouges it left in the road and the bitumen you can make out in one of those pics stuck in the guard..

hes somewhat thankful of the money he spent on a really good pair of harness's and the seats in the car..

mmmhmmm, the 99/00 onwards boxes are ok in the scale of taking a beating, pre 98 they wern't so flash, the introduction of double syncro's on first second and third made things a little better, but the 94/95 boxes are fairly weak and will pop are a little beating..

STI gearset is the same as a normal rex, just a higher ratio which gives it the close ratio effect..

probally a little kinder on things to as you can get more power down in a hurry so it'll generally means the wheels spin before the box gets into a big load sitation..

Thanks for the consern steve. I'm ok.. ribs still hurt when i'm laughing and coughing....small price to pay for an off like that. Any motorpsort accident is always a sad thing. Most importantly I'm walking and "I'll be back" just no idea when.

& yes.. good harnesses & seats are worth their weight in gold.

GTs-VSPEC let us know when ze videos are done. ( -:

    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu?
