attn Miso: Are you replacing all your brakes mang or just the fronts? What are you doing with the old ones?

Just the fronts at the moment. Don't have any bigger calipers/rotors for the back yet.

Was thinking of selling the old set. You looking for some brakes for project alfa?

I am sure we can work something out in exchange for your assistance to fit the upgraded brakes, and maybe a upper thigh deep tissue massage

Yeah I'm thinking I might try and fit some 32 brakes to the alfa. Should stop it on a dime.

Sounds like fun :D

Just let me know when you got time.

When we get them off, you can just keep them.

You sir, are an extremely generous bosni-serbo-croat!

I shall have to at least buy you a carton of *insert preferred beverage here*

On a similar awesome note, I just found the old rears off my car, so that will make a nice semi-matching set, assuming I can find suitable rotors for the rear....

As to time, yeah well that's the issue...

Sat morning I think I'm out, Saturday arvo is a possibility, pending what everyone else is doing.

Sunday I'm probably out - although if that's the time that suits everyone I think I can make it work.

Next weekend is good, but Dan will be away, and his expertise will be useful when doing brakes. We could try to tackle them without him but? Le mans 24 hour is on too, always fun to have something to watch while mechanicalising

Thoughts?

Jason, what still needs doing on your car? You got those boost fittings sorted yet?

No probs, next sat arvo is free. Probably suits me best, as there is no footy in Bris for me to go and watch, and have no games on.

The weekend after is ok, but I am on call for work, so might have to spend a bit of time on the phone.

We can work out a carton of something, and you can assist me in drinking it.

Car is currently burning more oil then fuel. Awesome.

That's excellent news, especially since the latest bp oil leak in the gulf of mexico. little baby seals are thanking you now for ridding them of excess oil.

:ermm:

One of the many services myself and my car provide.

I should get a medal for it

That sucks dude... any idea why?

Also does anyone have a rear set of shocks for a 32 GTS-T? Stock or aftermarket...

Tim can field that one :happy:

I may be able to get my hands on some stocker 33 ones. Would that help?

Mechanical issues fall outside my area of expertise.

I was just after the technical terms sheesh

Jason's blown a turbo seal from his mega super infinity boosto!

Is that technical ? :happy:

That would be my guess also, but its just a guess.

I was just after the technical terms sheesh

The flux capacitor has deteriorated causing a feedback interference loop with the syncromesh gear ionisation device, resulting in dilution of the mechanical lubrication fluid, causing it to evaporate in the combustion chamber and/or bypass the piston sealing devices.

Is that technical ? :happy:

Define technical :thumbsup:

dont fit.

That's what she said

The flux capacitor has deteriorated causing a feedback interference loop with the syncromesh gear ionisation device, resulting in dilution of the mechanical lubrication fluid, causing it to evaporate in the combustion chamber and/or bypass the piston sealing devices.

Now THAT is technical

It's like... putting too much air in a balloon... and... something bad happens!

    • 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
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
