Lovely T curve, when you change at 65 it should put you right in the fatty area of the T.

I am super keen to watch and listen to this thing punch through the gears.

Be careful with that gearbox.

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and ho

Small update.... ITS RUNNING. Fired first go! Smells like burnt dust apparently .

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT

It's an OS 5 speed with a billet centre plate. I would want to cope with the power. A bit of mechanical sympathy goes a long way ;). Bugger 1st gear but. That takes it like a whore!

you remember my sandwich plate has 2 spots though. so one for pressure and one for temp.

Otherwise maybe u need an inline temp sensor if such a thing exists, but that would only work if the thermostat was always 10-20% open

Yeah that is what i am going to do. Assuming its a Greddy adapter you have 2 spare bungs and Greddy in Sydney have the adapters in stock :)

Little update. I was out there yesterday and all the oil cooler plumbing has been (re)done. It was an abortion how it was thrown together before the nationals. Oil pressure sensor is now wired into the ECU so ill have some cutoff if something happens. Today's job was to stage the feed pumps. Tyres also arrived. Apart from the flex tune it's done! Pickup Friday I'd say.

Here is a quick video of it idling warm. Idle speed is about 950 RPM. http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u457/Ptriffitt/431B53FB-80D9-4FBE-BF1B-4D7EA42C50DC-9363-000001CBDE8AD41C_zps6979879e.mp4

Being the "standard homo" that I am, I'm gonna leave it how it is instead of mega grumpy. It almost sounds like a standard car with an exhaust!

Cool.

I see that your car has twin exhaust pipes instead of the usual cannon style muffler.

Is that to try and keep errrrrr.......more standard look?

That's how I bought the exhaust. It's a Racepace twin 3 inch and I don't think they make anything with that look.

Nice to see the car beginning to take shape Paul. I've seen it a few times in there, last time when Mark had the cam covers off working his magic.

Liking the result with the Black Box too - Yavuz has been chatting to me about this being an option. Are you just running dual map, or gone the E-Flex route?

That would have been the valve springs.

Full Ethanol Content Sensor. Bugger that duel map stuff.

May have to probe you about your flex setup so I have some ideas when I turn to that route too.

Not sure if you've been down there the past week, but you've probably seen the blue 34 lazing about not doing much.

Seen it mate, nice car.

Yep no problem. Any of the boys will be able to fill you in on the setup.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
