juliette do you ever look at an FJ40 and feel unoriginal?

BAZINGA!

Damn, LTHLRB's MK3 golf has got the same size engine as mine (2L SOHC), cept mine's got full EFI, leather seats, cruise control, is 7 years newer and cost me $600 less.

Smart move would be to sell the golf for mad profits instead of modding it, instead of spending twice what I paid for it in mods.

What kind of power numbers would I roughly be expecting with the following mods?

full exhaust with aftermarket dumps / high flow (decat)

pods / CAI / box

cam gears / cams (tomei?)

-5s

new fuel pump / injectors / 98 ron

power fc / status tune

would i need a new cooler as well?

oh and also spitfire coilpacks

just looking for rough number to know if i need to put more on my shopping list which is slowly getting ordered :)

Useless with dash 5 without a rebuild because you will blow the engine sky high. And if you want like 300kw you will have lag upto 4500rpm. With a proper engine you should get in the vicinity of 380awkw

1. do you have a job?

2. if no, do not pass go, do not collect $200, do not purchase mods for your car.

not at the moment Shan, but already got half the things in my closet and obviously not getting work done till i get a job / finish list off.

And yeh Kris dont mind a bit of lag, once your out of first / hard launch all good anyways :P figured cams will help out a bit as well

lol @ sam trying to convince someone that an auto to manual conversion on a GTS4 isn't that expensive.

you only need to change the front and rear diffs so the ratios match the box, and the only manual AWD boxes you can get came on manual GTS4s and GTRs, which are both way more expensive than a GTSt box.

yup, definitely a cheap job.

totally.

lmao, my mates cousin offered me a kia rio + 1k

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
