PWR twin pass radiator, PWR transmission cooler and Blitz return flow intercooler all being ordered. Big thanks to Dan. Won't have my baby back for a few weeks however, but such is life.

Mangs. Mondays are ghey.

Start to the week didn't help. About two hours of sleep, plus I got projectile shat on at around 2am.

Now just grinding the day out till 4pm so I can fark off home and die

For those of you registered on the other site, heres another journey in to insanity.

so i take it the plan is not to sell it now?

Full ninja stealth? I must fail at detecting sarcasm today...

That may be so, but you certainly don't fail in the 'one of a kind radiator' department. 1 x custom built twin pass vertical row unit coming up!

Btw, I talked them down on price on the rad and optioned up a larger size on the cooler so same price but sick as cooling.

You also don't fail in the 'unique destruction of factory parts' department but that's a story for another bed time

Mmmmm.... Frosty cold components! Nicely done mate :) Once it's all back together and working I'll have to give the engine bay a good clean, get all that coolant off.

Here's hoping it takes them a little less time to build, but knowing my luck it will take them extra long because I'm a right special bastard!

Got your email regarding gauges as well, time for me to go hunting to see what I want there and figure out where/how they can be mounted.

I discovered something full of win today: the place I contract through offer free training and certification! I'm getting my Microsoft Certification, CEH, CCNA/P and a bunch of others including LIPC-1 figure it might come in handy one day.

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
