^ updates is I'm slowly killing it. It's gonna be on stockys for a while and will probably lose the screamer soon. I have plans though, it should be repping a bit of retro coolness when they are put into motion (money permitting).

I should be out at lala again for the next prac though. I'd like to have my seat in by then and some solid mounting of the cradle would be nice but I doubt I'll get around to that.

Seat is in and I grabbed a 30mm bosskit spacer as well. Bloody hell it feels good to drive now. Locked in place with the Bride and being able to get a near perfect driving position with the steering wheel nice and close makes it a joy to throw around. Even though no mechanical mods were done, I reckon it's easier to catch slides and feel what the car is doing.

Bring on July 6th :)

The other bloke from Jack Baker has a 4door very similar to this one, it was probably him.

The screamer is a novelty at times, but I don't like announcing to the world that I'm giving my car shit every time it hits full boost :lol: and I also don't want it to be heard 5km away if I'm giving it curry through the hills.

Slight update

Car is getting quietened up next week, getting the screamer replaced with a 3in bellmouthed dump/front, and getting an extra muffler put into the exhaust.

I also should have aero sorted for it by next week, and hopefully next weekend it should be ready for fitment, although I'm still deciding whether or not to wait until my rims arrive.

On the topics of rims, Yahoo auctions eats my money :P I have a pair of 16 x 8 +20 SSRs on the water, and have just bid on a set of 16 x 8/8.5 Weds meshies :)

I've seen a few nice 16 x 9s but haven't had the coin thus far, and it looks like the 16 x 10 -1 SP1s were a freak discovery, as I haven't seen anything in 10j since ;)

Missed out on the Weds, but theres a very tasty pair of SSR formula meshies in 9J +12 I shall be having a crack at :D

I also niggarigged the front lip up for a laugh, and f**k me it looks ghetto fabulous. I'm tossing up whether to paint it up or not, as it looks quite cool in black. I'll get some pics in a minute or 20.

Wing is sitting in a coat of clear so I could probably fit it all up as is, but the original plan was to paint the lip.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
