My god that sucks to hear! So lucky they didn't take the car. Assuming the keys weren't laying around anywhere? Most common way to steal a car, break into the house and take the keys.

no, I had the keys with me so it was going anywhere unless they decided to tow truck it out of there.

Shit man, sorry to hear about all your stuff. atleast the cars ok, were you keeping it at your house?

yeah the car was just sitting right there. they had to walk by it to get in the door.

she must have stuffed up somewhere, because look at her left arm, its dislocated and facing backwards!!!!!1111112, australia says no to violence istdercollen

you're damn right.. perfection is a must! haha, no I guess she is just double jointed.

wait a sec, just re-read your earlier post. you say they stole your food and toilet paper? i hope you track down atleast some of your stuff. do you know how long it happened before you came back from your trip?

Sorry to hear this.

Don't know if you would want the toilet paper back but :sick: there might be a bit more than they took with it.

and yeah definately get a new tooth brush.

Sucks because if you were just at the shops chances are they would have still been there when you got back. Walked in the garage and been like, woooo what an awesome car!!!!!!! Then just sat there and admired it for a couple of days. You would have caught them and kick shit out of them, then handed them to the cops and would have still had everything. :whoops:

Ok well i would have been there admiring the car. Not that I would break into someones house :dry:

hope all goes better for you mate. Top car :)

alex, it happened not too long after I left from the looks of it, maybe a couple of weeks after. I bought a new toothbrush while I was gone, so that's all sorted now. I had a friend bring me some toilet paper the first day I got back, but now I have my own again, so it's starting to feel like home. The same friend with the toilet paper also had a spare 46 plasma TV that he let me borrow. It's pretty sweet because my old one was way smaller, haha. Anyway, I got the rims put on today, and I got verrrrry carried away with the pictures. the last one in this set is a stitch of 320 pictures. That's why it has the shallow depth of field that you see. instead of using a wide angle lens and just snapping the shot, i used a medium telephoto lens and took pictures of small portions of the entire image while turning of autofocus, so that only the front of the car is in sharp clarity. the actual size of the photo is 28 megapixels, so it's ripe for a billboard somewhere in the world.

That last shot is AWESOME! You realy do takesome good pictures dude.

Now all you have to do is get your extremely telented girlfriend to ink those wheels up like the rest of the car, blast em with a coat of clear and it'll look mint!

Those wheels suit it perfectly, but what I'm most impressed with is that last photo! Did you move the tripod around, or just move the camera? Cos thats awesome!!

I used a 50mm lens at f/1.8. White Balance- cloudy, and small JPEG setting. I was about 5 feet away from the front of the car and just systematically went from top left corner and zig-zagged all they way to bottom right. took about 300 photos and merged them all together with CS5. 300 might be overkill, but generally the more the better for the computer to match different pieces and give you one nice photo.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
