weather isnt that bad, low interest rates, low tax rates, wages are fine as long as you arent a bar attendant i have a mate whos a lawyer over there bringing in the money, and another mate of mine owns a car shop also bringing in the money. Not to mention incredibly low housing prices.

yea i guess if you dont mind the weather and you have a good proffession it can be okay. Im only saying that from a personal point of view because i lived there and i prefer australia. Sorry mods as this is totally off topic.

I didnt see any leaks? But then again I didnt really have a close look.

Told you the HIDs were illegal! lol. BOV I was expecting. I was pretty sure the exhaust was still too low. The window washers all worked!! WTF??

I dont see how your tint was too dark, and I thought you fixed your brake lights?

Glad they didnt notice the lack of AFM, but they seemed to pick up that we'd thrown my cat on :P

Oh well, give Chris's work a call first thing tomorrow morning and they'll try and book you in.

looks like your keeping my noncat for a while rhys... and they were mad about the missing bolts on the cat / exhaust

Your not going to hear me complaining! Haha.

And yeah, I though they might have. Better do a better job with that next time. Forgetting the gaskets wasnt the best idea :P

lol you got reemed!

Some quick tips:

1. get a high pressure washer and blast your car rather thoroughly before going to the pits

2. shouldn't get done for stupid things like brake lights etc, check all fuses and globes before going

Basically they are going to check EVERY stupid little thing (lights, washers, windows go up/down etc etc) before they move on to the big stuff.

What pits did you go to?

lol battery to be vented? I think its personal when the washer squirts lol..That radius rod issue, are the rods really damaged or it just looked oily? I've been trhough the pit with the same problem, because apparently the oil will somehow react with the bush and eventually damage it. but the pit ppl does not care if the bush is still ok or not, once they find oil, they'll tick as a defect. all you have to do is just wash it down clean.

The battery vented problem is that he obviously has a boot mounted battery (in a box) and the box hasn't got a snorkel (bit of tube going from the top of box thru the floor of the boot to the outside of the car).

correct. the radias rods are actually damaged, they are bent in a little at the bottom, easily fixed i think, just get a hammer and a screwdriver and whack them out. I did replaced all the globes previously but yeah it must be a fuse. there is no oil leaks either its just road glimes building up that i didn't get the chance to remove.

just take off the vaccum line on the BOV and block it, that is only to get over the pits, i just got yellowed today for POD FILTERS and my GT wing hehe, only had my car back for a week and yellowed already, i havnt even bedded my clutch in yet, i hope the inspector doesnt floor it when he checks it out

Tell the guy to take it easy because of that, If he f**ks your car then they should be liable to fix it. They aren't gods who are above the law.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
