okay without a vague as f**k one liner.
booked the car in for a tune at racepace a couple of weeks ago and dropped it off.
upon arrival, my alternator regulator shit itself and overcharged the battery, causing the battery to boil up. lucky. so while its there its getting a reconditioned alternator, as well as a decat :)
pick it up next saturday, and im pissing myself with excitement.
best self birthday present ever,

alright my niggas.
some bitter sweet news, yet again.
first things first (im the realest), The boys at Racepace were AMAZING! i cant fault their service, in four days they completed the works required, and had a solid crack at tuning the car, many now know as, the big blue kunt.
unfortunately, the person that previously worked on it, who i wont mention from now on, did a questionable job, so have to fix his mistakes and sort out some serious boost leaks before we can continue and hit the numbers we were expecting.
that being said though.
the car now has a steady idle, happily idles at 900rpm, is whisper quiet, even with a decat and drives so smoothly now, i want to drive it anywhere.
i f**king love these guys!
so next up, is all cold side and hotside pipes off to go over ALL THE LINES!

Should have gone to Racepace in the first place.

At least it's fixed now.

about 200kw.
fun and zippy, an AU falcon thought i was trying to race him and mashed the pedal next to me, so i mashed the pedal as well, in 3rd... and passed him at around 3200rpm.. LOL

in other news, it was my birthday on the 1st, and the fellas surprised me with some new numberplates! wrapt

update time.
have been insanely busy over the last few months so, not much was done to the old girl.
my mates bought me some numberplates for my birthday, i bought some wheels and basically fixed all the little things on the car that annoyed me.
now have a working ciggarette lighter, head unit and heater.
all is looking good, but we have some HUGE plans for next year, which will certainly blow a few minds.

itll be stupid, but sometimes, enough is enough.

Looking good. Kicking myself - Had to hop back in the car and leave in a rush at the Daylesford cruise, didn't get a change to take a look at this.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
