what i did do though, sold the BBS and got me some GTR wheels, car looks really nice on them! also picked up a power fc, walbro 255lph pump and some new coil packs.
cars booked in for the 2nd of june at Edge motorworks.
cihans going to make up a new map and a little run in to finish off the run in period and have the car running as it should

wow, going over those old photos, i remember why i love this f**king thing so much! every picture taken, we would have been laughing our guts out till 1am, working on this thing

car is on the road but have not made any progress.
i got king hit on the 26th and have been recovering at home since.
currently not allowed to drive as ive suffered a torn eyeball, and vision is impaired and blury in my left eye, which is actually my bad eye lol. so soon.

No good at all!

Was the culprit caught? What is the long term prognosis regarding your vision?

My thoughts go out to you. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery.

no, but i know exactly who he is, where he lives and who his friends are :)

That's pretty rough, at least you know who he is for sometime down the track; if you're that way inclined... :whistling:

More room for cars=Win!

That sucks mate, I also have vision impairment in one eye due to injury so I know it's not fun, luckily as humans we're able to adapt quite well so I'm sure you'll find it won't hinder you much at all in the future. Good luck with it all!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
