Just recently i got my car regency defected by a motorbike cop, who are the worse to deal with, i guess they needed to fill their quota. Anyway i took my car to ***EDITED PM ME FOR DETAILS*** to get a defect package done plus a little work, FMIC, boost controller, duno tune and some general repairs. Now i know a few guys swear by them and i don't want to step on any toes and have brilliant dealings with them in the past.

They got it cleared through regency (bill was several thousand) but i ran into a few problems the day i picked it up. The car was slower than before i took it there and got slower as the days went by. It turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. I got that fixed and ran very well, only for it to break down at 5.30 in the morning. Smoke out the bonnet.

The entire wiring loom from battery to firewall completely melted. To make matters worse some F*** kicked in the back quarter and going to cost 2g to get it panel beated, bastards. The side skirt they 'repaired' and stuck with silicone, which expands under heat, has come off looking quite ugly. At ****** they snobbed me off and tried telling me that the standard motor wasn't designed to revv and the standard turbo was why it was so slow. Being dyno tuned, I would of thought thay would of picked up any problems.

Felt that since i am young they didn't know what i was talking about but i was a large walking pinata. Like i said before, don't want to upset anyone but becarefull who you take your baby too.

hence why I don't let any workshops touch my car - except Donnon to tune it.

I have been financially hit by pretty much every big name performance workshop in the North-eastern area when I was green and modified my S15.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
