Its not like you're after a sponsorship etc that you wanna have a relationship what blah blah blah workshop (like SOMEBUM used to tell me).

what is SOMEBUM?

ps brandon that mercury day is next saturday hey not this saturday... right?

im still keen :worship:

If you've rather dick around waste money looking for someone who MAY fix the problem because of pride and ego, by all means

and principle, absolutely.

stubbornness FTW

Anyway EFI's alright. All these bashing is really over the top.

I forget, what did EFI do on your car? And who's bashing them? We already said it's not bashing, it's opinion gathering.

M1? Lets just say its illegal but hey AT LEAST they're doing it on a 4 lane straight road. I believe a lot here has done stuff that are even worse.

ahhhhh I forgot you couldn't crash when driving in a straight line!

and four lanes means that if you do crash, you can't possibly kill an innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That logic is similar to "It's ok if I drive drunk... I don't have far to go"

Hahaha you're smart enough trisboy. Yea its 19th I think. Hopefully I'll be able to swing by and have a look.

John: Principle will not get your car on the road. Its not like you're doing something guilty... -.-;

I'm strong in my convictions Brandon, so going against principle and therefore going against myself WOULD be doing something guilty.

Erm... in the middle of the night... Erm... chance of accident.... Erm.... going around corners at 120km... Chance of accident. You work it out yourself.

Dan's car is an example. Other than the fact that it took a couple of weeks. But at least at the end there's no problem at all. + I've already realised a lot of things are out of the control of the mechanics/workshops (parts taking longer to arrive, bolts round, crossthreaded). No job is perfect. You would have thought fitting a cat and front pipe to my car is only a 15-30mins job but it took more than an hour cause the front pipe and dump pipe section was seized up. Oh not to mention SOMEBUM told me its only a couple of hours job to change my dumps on the hoist. Imagine if I did believe that, I would be paying 1 or 2days worth of labour as compared to a couple of hours.

Anyway enough of my ranting. If I'd the same problem as you do, and if Dan recommend I go to EFI, I'll go there. The recommendation these people gets are a testimony to the work they do.

Oh yea, after yesterday, I'll recommend Gavin Wood to anyone for tuning too!

oh i get you brandon lolz

and yes ive heard mercury are dodgy as - however tacio had a good experience with them when they tuned his s1513 :worship:

Mecury reminds me of the club in the city.

Oh yea. wheres the Mexican!?!?!!? Its been a while since I heard anything about him. Is his 13/15 going or still offroad?

M1 on my way home the other night (middle of the night)... saw at least 70 other cars... just on the inbound side

Springbrook the other week (middle of the night)... saw....... Colin

hes still around, spoke to him yesterday infact - hes smashing out some hours at work

the sil is still kicking :D

Every one gets a good number there :worship:

it actually wasnt a high number (190kw or so), but they smoothed everything out he was telling me

I think only one person who actually works EFI was the driver of a car that night....and the 'skids' have been well blown out of proportion especially re the numbers of them.

From the SAU club you can count Warwick, Noel, Big Dave, Chris and a few random others as very happy clients

I know you guys have opinions and i have no interest in changing them but i dont want some one to come along and only see one side of the story

I'm not basing my opinion on just that night

Dan is very good, especially with that type of mechanical fault, also builds a mean engine!

So I hear

Where shall I leave the spare bolts?

I have box for them :D

I wonder if the 20e and 20de bottom ends are the same? Cause thats all i really need!

I'd guess yes, but its just a guess

Anyway EFI's alright. All these bashing is really over the top. M1? Lets just say its illegal but hey AT LEAST they're doing it on a 4 lane straight road. I believe a lot here has done stuff that are even worse.

IMO, that does not make it ANY way better

Baskin skid? Yes I agree its bad but who knows who was the actual guy who did it? You get people like this all the time.

They ALL behaved like idiots (not just talking about skids)

ps brandon that mercury day is next saturday hey not this saturday... right?

im still keen :worship:

mercury, now theres a shop I WILL happily bash

MERCURY! Now there is a place i wouldnt go in a million years...but every one has different experiences at different places!

+1

Well said

Erm... in the middle of the night... Erm... chance of accident.... Erm.... going around corners at 120km... Chance of accident. You work it out yourself.

I'm dissapointed in you brandon

Oh yea. wheres the Mexican!?!?!!? Its been a while since I heard anything about him. Is his 13/15 going or still offroad?

Tell him to show his dirty mexican face at baskins

I love mercury tunes...when i got one i had to get it retuned and at full load my AFRs dropped off the widebands scale! Yet still knocked its ass off at certain points. Gotta love it when people think that if they make it stupidly rich they cant hurt the engine and totally ignore ignition timing :ninja:

Erm... in the middle of the night... Erm... chance of accident.... Erm.... going around corners at 120km... Chance of accident. You work it out yourself.

i need this clarified - is this a stab at ppl skidding/drifting on public streets, or ppl racing on the freeway or what?

either way not a good idea

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
