Been without my car all week, depressing shit, dunno how some people leave their cars at mechanics for months on end when you can do everything at home!!

coz they're lazy kunts

had my car almost 3 years now only been to a workshop once for a timing belt change. should've done that myself too

red goes faster

ah ok yeah that is a bit too far i just wanna get the kit and put it in myself, was looking at a DIY on here before, pretty straight forward job.

these MV kits seem to be the most popular but aparently are only available in SA or something?

they send the valvebody to you, then you send your stock one to them once you do the swap. like an exchange kinda deal. lots of ppl in melbs run them

id give mv automatics a call im sure they can work something out or you can try and find my old car because it had the mv automatics shift kit in it lol.

i seeee do they have a website or something?

is there different kits or "stages"? i want the one that helps change gears quicker/instantly

nah last time i checked they didnt have a website. the kit you want is the mv automatics stage II shift kit. i have an article on it in one of my old hot 4's magazine where one of the guys got one of these installed he said it was worth it and once i got one im the same its really good.

For all the work getting done, it's basically the same price to respray the whole car.

Vu said my paint is faded so colour matching won't be 100% perfect anyway, hence the full respray.

Either way, I'm stoked with the price I'm getting! Also getting the front guards pulled at the same time :ermm:

Have fun with that.

at least if Vu misses patches on your car it will be red under red, not white under orange like krysiisisiiisuiisiisisu's first attempt paint job :huh:

sweet. i think i'll wait till one comes up for sale on these forums. its not too urgent atm

Lol, I know you had an issue with Vu... But the job he did on my old car was amazing. I couldn't fault it.

We'll see how this one goes.

how much were you quoted for a full respray if you dont mind me asking?

My car is gonna be gone for 2 weeks while its resprayed :P Then a few 2-dayers for other work like gearbox etc.

Replacement car? My boss's old 1994 Magna. Lovely..

least you don't have to take the train 4/5 days a week

that doesn't say a lot since you couldn't fault a car that had been banana'd. :P
you mean drifteks?

-____-

doesnt pat already have dteks?

learn your wheels you dropkick.

Drifteks are multi-stud and have less aggresive angle on the spokes.

Uras are 5 stud, look much better and a japanese company.

(To Funky; even IF you claim dteks and uras' are made in the same factory, would like to see proof on this, that doesnt mean it is the same. Material, tolerence limits and quality make the product. Just because they are in the same building doesnt mean they all follow the same requirements/limits. )

I'll pay that :)

But seriously, they did a great job. Especially given the crappy asian bodykit I provided them with.

fuck you. they're both cheap shitty knockoff wheels regardless of where your high and mighty ass wants to source them from. you wanna pull the material tolerance engineering card, fuck your ghetto ass, go get some TE37's and do it right. Don't try and validate your ghettoness.

Uras and Driteks can both suck on my nutts.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
