Awesome!

I get my car back tomorrow night....$3k later.. :P

I've got a few things to bolt up Saturday afternoon, but I should be on target for Sunday's cruise!

I'll be the one in the dirty black 260RS turning up late :down:

Nigel.

What did you spend the 3k on nige? What else are you bolting up in the arvo?

Please dont tell me it was 3k on interior mods....?

well the car has been off the road for over 4 months now, so ive been busy tinkering away and collecting parts:

Exedy Twin Plate Racing clutch

Redline gearbox oil

Redline diff oils

Castrol transfer case oil

Power steering oil

Hicas oil

ATTESA oil

Fuel filter

labour to fit the above.

2 second hand tyres

new rear brake pads

oil change

towing fee

carton of beer.

few other little tricky "thingamabobs"

etc etc etc...

got a heat shield to fit up and put my front driveshaft in on saturday arvo too

3 grand.. :S f**k

I'll come along but cant boot it :P

tune is far far out, monday getting new tyres and arranging a time next week with shaun/troy for a tidy up.

the cat-converter collapsed on the dyno on thursday, so couldnt tune until i fixed it (done now but runs like sh*t)

..... anyways. hitting the sink a fair bit atm, pretty ill, but should be right come tomorrow

not good news hope you're better by the afternoon!

I think I also have a collapsed cat... except mine just rattles a lot, and exhaust smells terrible :)

Sorry we got lost at the start. It took a while to get going & we were still talking with Poida81 (Bayside-Blue S2) about whether they should tag along with the 2-week old...

We then heard 2 different possible routes - and we chose the wrong one :P (it was wet at up at the Eagle!). So we went to Hahndorf and had some lunch before cruising home via Meadows & Blewitt Springs.

Oh Adam, you better get that rear base-gasket fixed before Massey-Ferguson ask for their tractor back!

:P

ok turn out due to the weather although the rain did it make for a bit of fun through the hills.

Was also good to meet a few you from here i was the grey series 2 with the crack in the front bar.

Well done adam for organising it all

Looking foward to the next one with a few more mods

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
