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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
