yea well i dont really see me getting enough money for it to warrent selling it, so might as well keep it, concerntrating mainly on handling first and keeping more of a responsive/torquey setup instead of the rubber band sling shot power curve i had previous. Awesome for the thrill, but no good for hills or track for obvious reasons.......long story short...if no one buys it....yes! hehe

yeah i was in the same boat

spent to much on buy price 5 years ago so might as well keep going

though when i do get to drive it, it is fun just over the last 15 months its seem more driveway than freeway

i tell you what as well the driving nature of SA has changed so much what we used to do in the old days cant be done now

been through regency 8 times since ive owned mine... never had child restraints in, never been picked on for it...

last time it was in primer, with stencils sprayed over it in matte black, pop rivets in rear guards to seal holes left over from widebody, 50mm flares over the flared rear arches, interior half stripped, 3.5" straight through with a 1" pea shooter pipe and muffler rudely bolted on at the end, shit hidden everywhere and got picked on for locked diff and a couple lights not working.

was so hillarious they got 4 guys to look at it at the same time and spent a whole hour on it. went through the next day with diff changed, no lights fixed... and passed.

win.

people get shit scared of regency for no reason...

I've been through (for defects) 15 times in 3 different cars.

It's really hard to say what they will and wont get you for as everytime it's been different. Very inconsistant with what they check and don't check or in some cases, can even find.

But SkyHi_33 is right, there's no reason to be scared. It's pretty easy to pass.

never been thru in 5 yrs of owning my car hopefully the next 5yrs will be as good . only ever had probs with regency when i built my ac cobra replica they wanted me to hook up a charcoal canister to a straight LPG powered car.took 5 months to convince them it couldn't be done .

lol so they made me apply for a exemption . made me run a air pump of a late model mustang just lots of stupid crap like that and this is after the engineer signed the car off lol .

lol im not scared...

I've put 3 trucks through regency now..they know me by name.....the skyline is a walk in the park as opposed to getting a truck through....was very much a head fuuk to say the least. Not to mention it was about 20k-30k for one truck...The skyline is just a couple of hundred bucks. :)

Lee, So sorry mate i've been soo flat out with work you wouldn't believe. Will be in touch.

    • 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  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
