Thank you guys for your support, I had organised a Track day for Gerards Birthday on the 20th of May.

This is still going ahead as a tribute to both Tom and Gerard, they were amazing guys and no words can express how much they are loved and will be missed.

It is a speed off the streets day, so if you were friends with either of the boys or wish to pay your respects, you are more than welcome to attend.

I will pass on all your kind words to the families involved.

It is a sad day indeed, but any words of support are comforting.

That's a gutsy post of yours Alex. You take care now on the 20th.

If the two families would appreciate a book each that I wrote called,

"GOOD GRIEF - BAD TIME" '3 Ways Of Coping With Loss' ...

PM me with your address, and I'll send them to you for free.

Otherwise these published books are distributed by...

www.bushchurchaid.com.au

One of the poems inside my book is this... It's written anonymously by a woman who lost 2 sons I'm led to believe...

"I'm Spending Christmas With Jesus Christ This Year"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

With tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear

For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring

For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me: I see the pain inside your heart

But I am not so far away; we really aren't apart.

I cannot tell you of the splendour or the peace inside this place.

Can you imagine Christmas with our Saviour, face to face?

I will ask Him to light your spirit as I tell Him of your love

So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I sent you each a memory of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold:

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do

For I can't count the blessing or love He has for each of you.

So have a 'Merry Christmas' and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

God Bless you Alex...

I had med them both on a few occasions and have had some great chats.

Gerard always offered advice since I met him at my very first event last August..

It is a very sad day for us all..

Again Rest in Peace friends, Texi will always bring back some strong memories of a friend taken too soon.

Thank you for all the good times,

You will live on always in our hearts.

David

I only met Gerard and Tom at the last Texi event in Jan, but both were some of the friendliest guys I've ever metmet. Happy to offer a kind word, encouragement, and mateship. Though I didn't know them anywhere near as well as a lot of people on this forum, I can still say that I'll miss them... And that all of us will always remember them.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
