Hey luke.. :)

$20-$30 at a local crash shop and they can aim your lights correctly (down a tad).

On corner entry they were hammering my side mirror blinding me and on the straights it felt as if the interior of my car was lit up.

I waved you past when first heading up in to the hills, on the way back you ended up behind again and I almost missed a corner because I simply couldn't see.

Its all good.. :)

I don't believe they test headlight height at regency. Just operation? I could be wrong though.

I've re-aimed my lights in the past. I usually pull up ~ 1.5meters away from a fence; mark a line that is level with the top of my knee and adjust both lights so the top cut off line is level with that. Take it for a drive and make sure my lights aren't shining up in to the back window/interior of the car in front. Over bumps etc its ok to have the occasional flash in to the interior.

A normal commodore sedan you should see the cut off line ~ level with the middle of their rear brake lights.

You'll know what I mean by cut off line when you start adjusting; at the moment I don't think you would see a cut off line as they are pointed up.

When mine was at the crash shop being sprayed some time ago that's how the bloke told me to do it.

Yeah we mite not be cruising, but may come to meet to say hello!

Richo - see ya tommorow! Day time prac = good footage! Ill make sure i get lots of ya :)

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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.
