Hicas is like a drunk stranger in the boot of you car with a steering wheel connected to the back wheels. You are never sure when they are going to turn, and when they do it feels like they have rolled into the wheel well.

I've got on mine which is a RS it has no body kit ( I would've picked the body kit though...).

Question: Is that a switch to turn it off/on manually? Sometimes the light goes on and it takes a while to go off again...

Cheers

Street? wouldnt care, hardly ever feel it as your not always going to be hammering corners, unless your craig lol.

track? definitely a lock bar. car becomes more predictable - and less drunk steering like the earlier post, in saying that your thrashing it around corners.

i will eventually get around to doing it, and get scott to build a lock bar..

but i think i need coilovers and sway bars and bla bla..until i do a lock bar.

Predictable or not, I cant stand the system. It makes the whole rear end of the car loose as the motor actually moves the lower part of the spring in and out, (not just the wheel) as you corner. It was only fitted to counteract the LSD's tendency to over-steer.

I don't know about you Canadians over the border but I prefer to keep the rear end of my car in my lane. Down here they crush cars for less...

That said, when I started driving I used to love hanging the back out, CIG locker for the win. :)

Fortunately, I have now been forced to grow up. Your turn Craig. hehe.

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.
