Hi guys

I would like to just quickly say how happy i am with j-spec, i was dealing with Craig and found him to be very helpful! He was always very quick to answers any questions i had which made me feel very comfortable and confident that i was in good hands.

I am really quite pleased with the new car, j-spec always seem to get some of the very nicest cars.

I am going to give it a really good clean tomorrow because its a bit dirty at the moment, then I will post a couple of snaps up.

That being said though, i have had a couple of things that are getting to me. The big one is the HKS pod filter i have on it at the moment.

I know some people really love the sound of them but i have to say it is really giving me the shi*s!! the exhaust it has on it sounds amazing and i dont like how much the filter over powers everything.

If any one is looking to sell a standard air box then send me a message and i will take it off your hands.

Another thing im slightly worried about is how this morning i had my HICAS SLIP and Engine lights all on at the same time.

I pulled into a bus stop and turned the car off and then once i started it again it was all back to normal.

I have seen a couple of posts on the forum before about this but dont think any one had actually come back and said what it turned out to be.

im also having trouble getting the big yellow egg stain off the back of the car :rofl: have some good strong car paint cleaner and if that fails then i guess it will be a cut and polish.

Hey Lee lookin forward to the pics

n also when all the lights turn out it shoudln't be n e thing to worry about

jsut get someone to run a diagnostic on the car it is usually jsut software problems i had that happen to me n got it fixed :(

quite easily done apparently

:)

hope that helps

Leo.

ok well had the lights on all the way up the freeway this morning i pulled over and turned it off but they were still on when i started her back up again. I think the car was trying to wish me a happy birthday lol nothing like your car doing silly things to put you in a good mood.

i was wrong before it was not my HICAS light that wa on it was the TCS OFF light. once i got into the city i turned it off again at a set of lights and that time it did the trick. Going to have to get it on the diagnostic but do any of you have an idea as to what it is?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
