Well just got back from a quick test run...

Took me a couple hours to fit the climate control's hot/cold door actuator and the rest of the interior I had to take out to get to it... mate of my soldered the dry joints last night...

and IT WORKS! Holy smeg! I haven't had a working climate control since I bought the car and I >finally< have airconditioning at my whim!

RAWR!!!

feel the power! revel in its awesomeness!

Thanks to madaz for showing me the tutorial link, I probably would have missed it otherwise. I owes you a brewski mon!

hey guys,

got my car today.. and it dies whenever i clutch in when it warms up..

its got apexi turbo, stock ecu, stock afm, bov blocked off, 3inch turbo back.

any ideas on wat would be causing it?

^ could start with like a process of elimination of things Adrian.

first thing that springs to my mind is get someone to make it stall the way it usually does while you watch from outside. If there's any black smoke coming from the exhaust it's simply too rich at idle/off throttle. If not, you've eliminated overfuelling to be the cause at least :D

Mine did the same Adrian when I used to clutch down to change into 2nd. Sif you never msg'd me to meet up somewhere so I can see the car.

sorry man i JUST finished work! catch up tomorrow night?

Hey was thinking bout going into town friday night or sat night as well!! Gouger street you say eh, might see if wifey's keen n head in!

im interested if others are, last time i went they had those cut out new lancers with forza 2 hooked up to the steering wheel n pedals n stuff schooled all the people around :D for free i might add.

plus ill be done with uni for the year and in need of alcohol :P

try unblocking your bov and run the standard one and see how you go?

Well, while we're being stupid, I'll run a pipe off the back of the turbo into the cabin, then I'll be too deaf to hear them complain :D

and be killed by the noxious fumes.

... win win really. :P

and be killed by the noxious fumes.

... win win really. :wub:

Yeah well I get that already when I only open the front windows, sucks in a lovely aroma of unburnt fuel (see my profile :laugh:)

But yeah I reckon thats a goer, I'll get on it tomorrow :D:P

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
