yep all weekend i spent quality time with my car. what started out as a simple 2 hour cat and front/dump pipe replacement turned into a 2 day struggle to get a broken bolt out of the back of my turbo :) in the end i got the bitch out!

i also learnt many things about my car especially how loud it is when only running through the dump/front and the cat. its rather fun on the road driving something which is about 130db :) with fumes flooding from the underneath making it look like the cars on fire :)

anyhow i put it all back together and my turbo is so much louder now with the new parts. people turn around on the footpath to see whats making the noise before i pass them. it also spools nicely and is so much nicer and smoother to drive.

now all i need is more power and a wheel balance :D

oh and also some temp wrap tp wrap the pipe as uder the bonnet is much warmer now as i lost one of the heat shields when the stock dump pipe was changed.

anyone who doesnt have an aftermarket front/dump go and buy one. also buy a hi flow cat too. :uh-huh:

today i also bought some thermal wrap and wrapped up the dump area on my front/dump pipe. Then i decided to take the heat shield off the stock front pipe and fabricated it to my new front pipe. So now the engine bay is no where near as hot and doesnt smell like burning plastic anymore. :)

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
