Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?


Recommended Posts

Yesterday I found my bumper tray held on by one bolt :/ What was meant to be a 5 min fix turned into the bumper being taken off and spending hours getting the intercooler pipe cutouts symmetrical and making guard gaps tighter, there is still more to be done. Today I took off my trust exhaust and started to look at ways to get an s15 kakimoto muffler to fit in the way i want it to. I believe i have found and easy way, so will be calling roadway muffler tomorrow to book in sometime.

Does that mean you have your car back?

Why does it have to mean that, SM1000 isn't until November.

We had some last minute dramas (yay GTRs) but almost sorted.

Group buy for extended paddle shifters took off like crazy on vwgolf.net once it was shared with some other forums, so very soon I shall have some nice new black paddles that can actually be reached while cornering

Yeah a few times within a couple of months of buying it lol...but not at all this year yet. Never get the opportunity thanks to shithouse road surfaces and traffic, and god knows I'd end up getting in trouble somehow if I did haha.

That, and unless I'm actually racing another decent vehicle, it's completely unnecessary for kicking their ass anyway! hahahaha

Fuel Pump and Wallet. :/

Pump was not producing enough pressure to Rev but with a New one in the engine feels more betterer Power than it ever has.

The Never Ending low rev / off idle Stutters seem to have gone.

however, about 10 kms into the drive to work on this -40 morning, my rear window decided one piece was not enough.

    • Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest. 
    • My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.
    • Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...
    • If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.
    • If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
