Photo's of my poor baby after going sideways through a roundabout. Didnt see it, no give ways signs or roundabout signs, a lamppost was out one was lit but it wasnt enough. Locked up the brakes the car went sideways as I tried to steer around the rounabout, blew the drivers side rear tyre and then beached itself on the far corner in some sand between the kerb and the footpath. It seems I was quite lucky, the sideskirt is beyond repair I think, and I had to put some new rubber on (so I went ahead and put the 2 18" rims I had on the rear) though it seems I need a wheel allignment as anything over 100km/hr and the wheel vibrates.

Scarey. I wouldnt want to be driving on it too much, cant do more than 80km/hr and even then I was only doing 70km/hr just to make sure I got home ok. Seriously its about 1/4 the width of the new 265/35 rubber.

    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
    • Finally back on the ground and once around the block for the first time in 2+ years
    • Ok a solution was found. I had left the factory oil temp sensor in and it was hooked up. My car never had the triple gauges.  Apparently when you delete the factory pressure and leave the temp sensor connected it triggers the oil light on the dashboard. Disconnected the temp sender, no more light.  I still haven't gotten around to look at the diagrams to figure out how/why they are tied together.
