Spend more time practicing your heel toe downshift technique instead :P

Lol.

It actually got to the point where my heel and toe downshift / braking technique has gotten to a level which I'd consider quite good (I've been practicing basically every day for months). Still needs a lot of fine-tuning to be perfected.

But my S15 is off the road atm so I've needed to modify my technique as I'm driving my mum's E90 Corolla and the pedal/driving position is different. Will take a while to readjust once I hop back in the S15.

Reason my car is off the road is because my Tomei N2 Oil Pan was defective (one of the welds was dodgy causing oil to leak), so recently sent it back to Tomei HQ in Japan for testing (and once they confirm the defect I get a replacement pan). Option could of been to get it welded here but I decided I'm going to make a farkin point about it.

what about the wheels it was running before roadworthy? cause you borrowed a set for roadie, was on TE's before that?

Still got my Te37's

Just trying a more aggressive rim size & offset atm

Tony, you bought 18" yeah? Tried to look at what size you bought as you only mentioned 9.5" width.

9.5inch + 22 Drift tek.

inb4fakes and it kills babies

Toby, Excel spreadsheet is done, what email should I send it to?

Email it to my work address brah

Forgies cost similar to new genuine pistons & rods.

yeah pistons and rods maybe, but not crank (which I thought he was also referring to)

GTiR crank: ~$600 used

Forged: $1900+

fark dat shit.

    • 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.
