"Retspec" 2 Troy (YLWGTR) for makin it all possible... what a champion... not only did he hook me up with an organic fibre clutch (same as what I had int here before) and installing it for me (for a very respectable price)... but he also let me drive his car :)

WHEEEEEEEEEEE I am sooo happy now. :D:D:D:D

Even tho I didn't give it hell coz I was like soo scared I'd break something, I felt like my hands and legs were part of the car... soo much response, so much power... Button clutch was a bit wierd to get used to, click, click in or out no halfway business... Its such a lovely car to drive even in normal non-"i'mma burn the roads up" driving mode. Never felt so in control of a car... I want one!!!!

Oh and my new clutch is in (afta having driven a car that's had a fading clutch ever since I got it)... feels nice too. I'm probably gonna give it a full service and a new set of sparks, drain all fluids and prep it up paint and dents wise, give it a bit of pampering, coz its her 1 yr birthday on the 3rd of July.

Yet again... thanks again to Troy... the guys jus a legend. (plus he really knows his shit inside and out... from importation to mechanics to carbon fibre moulding ;)).

I'mma post a piccie of my clutch now... note how its worn down to the plate...

Oh did I mention that I crunched his 3rd gear at first.. lol... my heart was in my mouth when I heard it go KRRRR.

Oh and I think its got a short shift kit in as well coz I think I moved the gear knob maybe 3cm between shifts... and they all click into place so effortlessly (or they don't if you don't get the button clutch right).

Really sweet car... god bless the panda eyes :)

      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.
