@John, Joe,

Sorry but I feel the need to back the rear admiral up and I refuse to violate my policy of not posting on faceparty. Hell pizza is awesome, and I wish there was one near me too

Yeah, but I already knew you were gay.

What dude we met what day?

But yes, Option 1 FTW, as long as you don't mind sitting around for hours while they work on other peoples cars (despite being booked in), and don't mind having to go back and do it AGAIN after they put both tyres on for the left hand side. Price you pay for cheap tyres I guess...

I expect to be buying:

2 x 215/45/17 595 RS-R

2 x 235/45/17 595 RS-R

2 x 235/45/17 595 SS

Also will be getting another pair of SS's stripped off some skid rims and fitted to my advans.

They also do khumos really cheap (KU31s FTW) but since I already have a near new pair of 595s for the front, i'm going to get some for the rear and see how they compare. The grip is not quite as good, but maybe they will last longer...

Yeah seen that, heaps epic

but Alfa 3.2 V6 > RB26

:D

your mum > alfa 3.2 v6 < RB26

thats better

all this alfa talk makes me wanta slap you... break out of it...

Morning guys

I Fucking hate people, I wish they would all fuck off and die

John I was thinking about what were saying about jobs, and I think I have got one that will make you happy.

Dan at ERD does good prices on Federals too, then you can just take them and get them fitted anywhere you like.

Too far away :D

I could take the tyres from option 1 and get them fitted elsewhere, but they fit and balance them for 10 bux and are only 5 minutes from work, so I really CBF

I can grab them for you. Picking my car up from ERD hopefully today.

edit. I just read the whole post. nm :D

Can't find anywhere that will do a decent price exhaust for the golf.

Prices are astronomical. Might try to source one from Europe.

Try Scotty at Scots rods, good pipes, great prices.

ahh the old distance issue, could try Neta tyre services, they are the distributer and are at northgate

They are literally right across the road. I can see them out the window. Will give them a yell.

Yeah thanks for the offer bro, but probably too much hassle to work it all out

Can try Fat Pipes at Kallangur. I hear very good things from many different people, have not used them myself yet though.

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
