Car is booked into Walker Chassis for July :blink:

Full weld in cage, Heaps of bars, strut tower bracing, the whole lot ;)

Got my welder mate coming down in the next couple of weeks to do seam welding, drop tank mounts and covering up the backseat from the boot ;)

looking at doing tarmac rally at any stage in the future luke? if so i advise that you get the sill bars done now, otherwise they're a flamin mongrel to get in later on. thats why mine's getting them now and when i need the additional bracing to comply with tarmac rally regulations, its partially done

yep sure is ;) one of the first things i did to it, just gotta have the cooler piped up, boost turned up and a nisstune board and im basically done.... for now

And you said you'd leave it standard! :blink:

Cheers mate, I'll add that to the list. Lance was also telling me about A-pillars bars if i should get them or not, he was saying it becomes a bitch to get in and out of the car tho.

Got any pics what the sill bars are?

Damm ppl posting before i hit reply, this msg is for matty t.

please sir tell me more

the sill bars are essentially a bar that runs along the floor pan front to rear..............basically going to protect from random trees that may jump out in front of you. i'll try and find a diagram in the CAMS handbook

Hmmm wheel swap maybe :(

Don't swap to another of the 'emotion' series man - The XD9's suit your car to a T. Unless your going some like TEs - LMGT4s - or vlk GT-C's or something it won't look half as good as it does now!

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
