Yeah the low/mid range on them is fking awesome, I could floor it in second in the wet and it'd hit full boost at 2500 revs and just crab down the road. All it had was soft as Tein Type NAs, Cusco sway bars, cooler, exhaust, brutal Cusco clutch and a massive alloy rad.

Some of the pro SA drift guys passengered with me for a few laps at the drift school and they couldn't believe how much torque it had. Around the back hairpin I'd be feathering it in 2nd with the speedo reading about 40-50ish (maybe 3000 rpm) then squeeze the throttle on the exit and the needle would swing out to 120 like it's nothing.

Aussie ended up swapping the 81 and cressy for it he liked it that much :)

I was hoping to see this thing with a new set of kicks :)

Sell me your C piller trim :(

I'll put my interim wheel set up on it soon and it should look aight, and I'm gonna make it a bit of a mission to get it looking good enough to drive this week cause I'm fkn sick of the Lancer :P

But yeah gotta get back into a 100 hey.

Wooo she's back :D

Got the bumper sitting ok and bashed the left rear out as best I could and threw it all together and this is what I ended up with:

Ghetto fabulous :D

Needs a few little things as a result of sitting for so long, but overall it's pretty much back to a driveable state, although I'll be keeping a very low profile.

Ok interim wheel setup has fallen over slighty, teh centre bore on my Watanabes don't fit over the hubcentric bit on the spacers :D Good news is, they fit my other fronts, so I'm going to fit the stage 1 front set up and throw the BBS on the back for the time being :/

I have test fitted the SSRs on the front and all I can say is my predictions were spot on. 8j +20 with a 20mm spacer to make 8j +0, they hang out of the guards by a few cm, and clear the brakes perfectly - exactly what I ws after :D :D

I'll post pics later this arvo :)

Pictars as promised. The more I look at this the more I think I should keep it :)

Pretty stoked with how it's looking. When the 16 x 9s rock up I'll put them on the back and play with the height (and put the lip back on) and it should look pretty fking tough.

Okay, it's been a long time coming (you get that with sea mail) but finally, the wheel set up is complete. For the technically minded, the specs are as follows:

Front

16 x 8j +20 (with a 20mm spacer effecting an offset of 0) running a 205/45 tyre with ~3.5 * camber

Rear

16 x 9j +13 running a 205/50 with ~3* camber.

Now on the interesting bit...

PICS :(

Yeah I took it off after I went for a short drive and had to try and avoid those little reflective thingys for fear of ripping it off :(

Got a short vid of it cruising along with the lip and all and fk me it looks sooo tough (also got a vid of me busting a quick handbrake U turn in the main street, and it looked fking cool doing that too :D)

I went an took a few more pics today, as tomorrow she goes in to get some shit done (cradle bushes and lock spacers) and I'm putting the stockies back on and raising it to a ridiculous height so I can cruise around without fear of getting done :ermm:

Well, it's back to looking stockish now. R33 stockies, a smidge below standard height, looks pretty lame :P

Good thing though is it slides better than it did before :) got alloy cradle bushes put in and steering lock spacers. The cradle bushes mean it now spins up instantly instead of jerking around and the extra lock means I can use the throttle to play with rear grip and keep it in check/bring it back instead of hitting the end of the rack and having to spin to stop.

Also MUCH better for busting quick Ueys from a stand still :wub: :wub:

Will hopefully get a tune and service in the near future as I might be getting a new job which will require me to do some kays in it.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
