farkin christmas presents. Could have spent that money on something more useful.... like on my car :turned:

On another note; found 55pounds from last holiday on my prepaid travel credit card. winning!

Man I'm watching my bank account drop its fkn annoying. Especially that I only get paid monthly.

Yeh my Missus has the rx8 GT 2nd gen. The last one actually. Bit slow, but I still like it. Great fun to drive

Yeah I didn't mint it to be honest, he's a very big unit though so always good to give him a tease about it. Looks very funny driving it.

It was pretty quick, handled very well I thought. Definitely not used to that sort of power delivery though. Reckons it does 0-100 in about 6.2? Or something along those lines. Found that pretty surprising but I'd be keen to see what it can do on a track.

Ahh okay excellent, do you remember roughly what kilometres that was done at? I just ticked to 150,xxx so it's on my mind :P

im pretty sure it was nearly spot on 100K

ahah yeah i can understand :P

im about to start collecting parts for my next 100K

I think it takes a little longer than that.. But yeh I'm really keen to throw it at a deca or something but she'll never let me lol

Just an update on the car

Looks as though the theif thrashed the car on 91 Octane which may have led to the car breaking down

No biggie engine is covered under insurance. So rebuild here I come

Not yet.

Still waiting to get the car inspected by justcars, then Im going to get it inspected independently.

Process might take about 2-3 weeks as everyone is closed or on holiday.

Mechanical is covered under insurance, so if its a blown engine then yeah new engine rebuild

Had a rolling with Leigh...1.5 car lengths, I'm happy with that!

Lol we gotta go for longer next time :P

good fun though, makes me want to go out looking for races tonight - would be interesting to see flat road and like a 30km/h roll on I reckon! let me know if you feel like shenanigans later

Just abit worrying that if they see manifolds hi flow intercooler etc and then not cover it.

lol do it

personally im prob going to go for -9's

Then I'd need to get bigger injectors, up rated afm, clutch, and spare $ for rebuild in case mine dies...

Not a bad way to piss money down in the drain!

Would if it wasn't cop season...get the feeling the defect squad will be out in force with holiday season. Gotta protect the people from front mount intercoolers and paint chips.

I was thinking of heading down Prinny (bro) later with a few of the ford forum boys, but yeah they'll be major cop action later.

For those of you round Donny (bro) there were a couple of HP cars between the Blackburn Rd exit on the Eastern and Doncaster road. On the access road.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
