i think im gonna make this... :thanks:

but i do need to get my wheel alignment sorted, does anyone know of anywhere in the SE suburbs that hook me up with a killer alignment?

it used to be great, but since i replaced one of the tie rod ends ive had no luck being able to get back my nice set up. now all i have is under steer and PLENTY of it!!! :thumbsup:

conserned about noise levels .... and the chance of rain as i will be running economic crisis spec tyres.

How do you think me car will go with noise restrictions there????

Im really sitting on the fence here

when is the latest you can pull out and still get your money back

With the WRX Club i have been pinged because of noise. If you take it easy for the first two sessions and change up at 4,000rpm ( :O ) and keep the gate closed you can get some good sighthing laps under your belt. Last time i was there i got two sessions where i gave it curry in the afternoon. Total of 5 laps in anger :D But still good fun...wich i was able to make it. :banana:

Because some parts suppliers are rats...

Had some issues with my fuel system and have been dicked around. We want to make sure the car is right before it hits the track to minimise teething issues, so instead of rushing it we decided to go for Sandown later in the month. Not happy about it though... not happy at all.

Man, i think my car with the Bislteins would have done a 1:50 if i didnt use 4th gear at turn 1 and i got the line onto the straight properly then there might be a bit of time in it. Its possible?!?!?!! I did a 1:52 flat and because the EPA guy hung around all day i only got a few laps to try

So

On the first lap the tyres were still not quite warm, was rough and ready with a few errors and it was a 1:52.00 flat. So close to a 51 :O Looking at the corner speeds and data for the second lap i was quicker through turn 1 and turn 2 & 3. I lost time on Southern Loop. I also messed up MG but got onto the straight way faster then i had on any other lap on the day. So the second lap in the vid had some good bits but i ham fisted MG but the lap was still a 1:53.1 or 1:53.4 so ?!?!?! Its definitely doable.

LOL, i hate that somebody else in the club, (Ryan or Matt) will be the first into the 49s before me :) LOL, i am no longer willing to bin it trying...paint costs way too much money.

But seriously if i am delusional in thinking there is a 1:50 in the car in the vid then i want to be set straight...i dont want false expectations for myself and the car. :wub:

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
