I didn't see that email, and I don't really have the inclination to go through them all :) But if that's true, then I have no problem with paying the extra amount.

Clearly stated in an email = Fair warning.

Merli! Now you're going to have to fork out a little extra for the shaft, I think I should do the right thing and offer you $298.70 for those tension rods you have for sale...! Y'know, to help out.

:) LOL

$90 odd i can deal with, but still want the shaft within a week time frame not some sent by boat takes a month etc crap where i have a feeling he is trying to cut the cost down...

:D LOL

I don't have the extra $100 for this shaft, so everyone tell Matt to buy my Cusco tension rods for $340 delivered :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Otherwise I'll hold up the final payment for these rods and NO-ONE will get them <insert evil laugh> :laugh:

Yep iam happy to pay extra as well, is their going to be a difference in price between the guys who paid for the 1000hp model to the guys with the 2000hp model i think their was only piggaz and myself going for the lighter /cheaper shaft

Yeah i'm sure there will be a difference, tho at current its the postage we're working on to screw down in costs.

we're charged around $250, and paul also gets alloy shafts from somewhere else in the Us for 100 or so delivered.. so he's looking at that approach to get costs down for us.

:)

I'm sweet as with the extra coin..just let us know and lets get these babies on the plane. I'm back in Jappa tomorrow so will have access to computer again..Pick up me car from HKS tomorrow and cant wait to see how it goes!!

Just out of curiosity. Is there anyone that will be doing a back to back test to see if there is any noticeable change in anything?

Hey Andrew,

It's been a while.

Please let me know how this debacle is going...

Can I enter the group buy at this point? If so what price?

Thankyou

Mick

Just read from start to finish, i hope after all this drama you guys buy Andrew (Angus) a beer for the effort he's put in

Oh, and i also hope you guys see a large difference in performance :D

Hey Guys, I've been away at the snow while there is snow still there.. gotta make use of the season pass while i can..

i have 2 emails from Paul,

we were getting charged around 300us for postage from Acpt.. which was all included..

Now.

Paul also orders shafts from other Us companies some of which are heavier alloy shafts and he gets them in here for around 130us which will probably see the difference in price there.. and possibly only a small payment to be done.. Paul is working on all this.

hopefully we will have some action this week and get them sent out,,

Now Michael. Wayy too late.. unless someone here wants to sell theirs to you?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
