Now my car goes, i can enter. Entries close 8pm tomorrow.

So scrutineering starts at 730 am,

If its got a good mount, yeah. Thats what mines lacking. Duct tape wont pass.

Gus, it was $1890 fitted, with some, not all, new bearings and seals.

Man... Car looks Awesome! :woot: Amazing what Some wheels can do.

I take it that it is driving better now with wheels / diff etc?

Cam has a sucky cup and will likely stick to a clean panel but certainly sticks to the inside windscreen Very Well.

So what time are you getting there? 7:00 - 7:30? I can do that. (starting work at 5am lately so 7 is nothing)

ill be there at 730

but i have to enter first, ill make sure to tell you if i get in or not. :thumbsup:

Ive only just done the figure 8s as instructed to get oil through the clutches, it feels weird, i havent driven it for 2 weeks.

A few more drives and ill see how good it is, my technique is to work your way up to it gradually, and you wont stack.

Spent the day replacing the last few old, dried and cracked joiners for the turbo outlet and crossover pipe and replaced the low pressure power steering lines.

Half the day was spent driving around northside to a few transmission places to try and track down some 5/8 trans hose, ended up having to go out to enzed in fyshwick to get it. I think i have fixed more issues on my car since it's been off the road for the last few months than I have the whole 2 years I have owned it.

Wow... that diff is good!

Very hard to break traction now, the federal rsr help too.

Now i can use more power!

BUT it stinks of fuel, somewhere from the back, better fix it before it bursts into flames.

fuel tank is out, pretty easy to do

heaps of dust and crap all over it

Looks like the leaks are from the filler or the vent line or the filler overflow line.

anyway all hoses are being replaced and ill have a look at the filler tube gasket.

a fresh coat of tar underneath would be good too

If i turn up for scrutineering reeking of fuel, illl fail for sure.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
