sorry to hear bout the loss rac33r, and soopamarcus bout ur friend's gtt... always see the gtt along engineering walk...

i dun mean to kill all hopes, but my mr2 was stolen on a saturday afternoon in april 2000... i was overseas and had left the car with a friend in macquarie to sell... i placed the ad in the trading post and some guy rang my friend up to come see the car... when he showed up, my friend drove the car out of the garage and made a boo-boo by leaving the engine running when he got out of the car... just then, someone else rang my friend to ask about the car (probably the guy's accomplice)... as my friend was getting distracted by the phone call, the guy who came to "see" the car hopped in and sped off... the car was recovered the next morning in campsie, stripped of all panels, interior, wheels and stereo... thankfully it was insured... ever since, my frens and i always have another quick car on standby whenever any of us are selling our cars... one tip is to separate the key from the alarm/immobiliser remote control and keep the control on your body so u can arm the car if you get thrown out...

Hey lou15x, ive seen u around uni..and i remember ur red MR2..i rememebr in first year i heard the blow-off go off on anzac parade and i was like hmm interesting..hehehe its 3 years on now and hehe ive seen that uve gone thru many cars...

yup, i am keen on the idea of wakefield action... i am in 100% if during the break...

and yeah start another thread, this one should be dedicated to RAC33R.

a few months ago my front grill got stolen at macqaurie. i thought that was bad enough.

This is getting out of hand!

oh yeh, and i remember seeing RAC33R a while ago at fox studios i think. sorry to hear she's gone

:D

Couldn't believe it when i found out about Rac33r and GTT. No wonder you didn't call to cruise on the weekend. I'm at UNSW/Kingsford maccas nearly everyday....and my car is always on the streets and has no garage. This is gettin outa hand, GTT was one of the best 34's i've seen, and rac33rs wasn't too bad:p Sorry to hear about your losses guys.

ps. unsw cruise! lol

my left side was hit and run a few months back, never had time...or the money...to fix it..... gotta get it done in a few weeks, i like it how it is, dont have to be worried about ppl openin their door onto me, scratchin it bla bla. plus it makes me look like a psycho.

u wouldnt see me at unsw much anymore coz a) im never there coz im too lazy, B) i dont park in the carpark much anymore because im supposedly "banned" for all the **** i do in there...come on, smooth concrete, i cant resist havin a bit of fun with it :(

i cant believe it about gtt, saw that car almost every day parked in those few spots near the red centre parked with that crazy silver/pink pearl volvo s40.... such a nice car :D

did rac33r go unsw too? i'm sure it looks familiar, mad car too.

yes we unsw boys must meet up sometime soon!

Argh man that sucks, I'm never going to take my car to Macquarie again :D Is this Flashpoint alarm easy to override or something? Or did they just remove it or the battery and put the car on the back of a truck? If anyone wants to put a lynch mob together to get these thieving scumbags, I'm up for that.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
