just incase anyone doesn't know about Charmaine's car, here it is:

THE LASER:

I absolutely love my car. It’s a 1991 Ford Laser Ghia. I bought it with 17” chrome rims and it was lowered. I was like “Sick! A pimped car!” But after closer inspection I discovered the car was lowered illegally as the springs were cut. So not too long ago, with help of a good mate, we put in new lowered springs, suspension & rear brake pads. Still need to replace the front pads. The car was all good and well now but I couldn’t drive around without some sick cranking tunes. So the next step was to upgrade the soundsystem. This I can also thank my good mate for, as he was an absolute gun for helping me install all of it. A few hundred dollars later ;) my soundsystem consists of a Pioneer sub, Kenwood 6” splits, Pioneer 6x9”s, Boss 4 channel amp & Boss mono block amp and a sexy Alpine headunit. Doof doof much?? The interior and engine could do with a bit of work I suppose, but hey, it’s only my first car and it gets me to where I need to go. I’m not sure spending copious amounts of money on my first car would be the best idea because eventually I will have something better. Either that or the fad will end. But somehow I don’t think it will. I’m keen at the moment for a new exhaust, cannon + extractors. I love driving. I feel happy when i drive, the feeling of just being able to get away from everything. Like an escape. Especially with the music cranked loud XD

Yeah. My car is the sex.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
