Series one and two headlights are different for OEM the series one has a flatter bottom while the series two goes down more and flicks up closer to the grill.

Sedan headlights are all the same, its the outer shape that you need to worry about.

Differance between S1 & S2 from what I can see is that they changed the look on the inside slightly and added height adjustment.

Confirmed for me: Dreadnought - Black housing

The link above looks right Shiva.

If there are any issues with HID Ballast, Series 1 or 2 etc, I'll work through them on the fly. I don't have any particular expertise here but am happy to test.

I'm also happy to work with the Melbourne/SA people to arrange distribution.

have already asked jesse to check the compatibility of these headlights for series 1 and series 2.....once we confirm the 12 pairs, then we can give jesse different address and he will give his NAB account to which we can transfer the money and he will ship the lights in packages of 2 pairs of lights.....as mentioned earlier, it will be by sea so wait time is 6 to 9 weeks.....

Confirmed List:

1. 4evershiva - Chrome housing

2. Dreadnought - black

Hi Shiva,

Thanks for all your work so far. I have series 3 (bi-xenon lights). Can I trouble you to just double check with Jesse that the series 2 coupe lights are compatible with the series 3 coupe lights. Shouldn't be a difference but wouldn't mind a double check.

Thanks,

Keith

Hey Keith have already asked Jesse to check its compatibility from the early model to the latest...so he will inform me if there is any issues......COMMON GUYS, LETS GET THE LIST CONFIRMED AND GET THIS GOING AS JESSE IS NOT READY TO SPEND MORE TIME ON THIS BUY.......

Still in :)

Should we set an expiry date on the group buy confirmation? I'm not trying to pressure people but we could spin this out for months if not careful.

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
