My exhaust had a great escrape the last time I took the stagea on a bush trail. Apart from the ground clearance issues, the ATTESA works fantastically. No need to even use the 50/50 split button, the computer sorts it out.

Had to haul up 50 packs of flooring at 15kg each up a steep wet curved driveway.

So put a half a dozen in the car for a bit more traction, the rest in a trailer.

Stuck it in Syncro mode in 1st, was expecting to have to rev the shit out of it and fight slippage, went up like a dream with no effort at all.

f**k I love this car..

Gee look at your springs!! Is that lowered or is something else in those boxes ;)

That's standard autech axis height with around 35-40 slabs of soft drinks in the back. All behind the back seat. I have had around 65 slabs in there before with the seats down and there was room for more. It looks worse than what it is in the pic coz of uneven ground but it is extremely on its arse. Poor springs.

Fit a refrigerator and washer in the back with no problem, unfortunately only got a picture with the fridge in there.

luckily there was another chance to put a washer in there, a long with a chair and various other furniture my buddy picked up from a sayonara sale

Little late to the party,

we went over to SA end of last year with 2 suitcases and a cooler.

Way back was a little different, both our families loaded us with stuff to take back.

Does not look like much.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
