Not really much happening of late on this. Got some dyno time last week where we ran into issues with the head lifting. So off comes the head to sus it out and go again.

Car went 520rwph at 22psi before the head lifted. Hopefully more updates this week

So finally brought the car home for a little while while i fit up some parts and enjoy the car for a bit, even if it is on low boost. Here's a vid of the cars first start up at home along with the exhaust tone at idle.

First job was to test fit the catch can and make sure it all fits. Had to move my oil filter relocator as that was taking up the space the new can is going. I was limited by the existing line length so after having a look over the setup i was able to mount it under the car behind the cooler piping.

First off i had to buy all the lines and fittings. Anyone who's done this knows unfortunately this shit aint cheap :(

Heres what its like with the front bar on. Nice and covered so it wont get hit with rocks etc. Might still make up a protection case to go around it yet

And test fitted the can in the bay too

Cars looking awesome man! Been following it for a while now and it just keeps getting better and better, i was just wondering where you got the plate thats holding your coilpacks in place/ how much it was

Thanks mate! Been a bloody long road but its all part of the fun.

Coil pack bracket is a custom job that i got a fabricator mate to knock up. Wasnt the cheapest but I think it looks awesome and give its a very neat professional look

Yeah man it definitely makes it look alot cleaner, ive seen a few other setups with Ls coilpacks where they were mounted on the fire wall and it makes it look messy, im looking at doing it the same way you have just to keep it all tidy.

Few different LS coil options out there. Most of the people who are mounting them on the firewall or off the rocker cover are probably using LS1 coils. Mine are LS2 truck coils, different design and make up and are a lot smaller and user friendly.

    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
