Yeah though i saw your car there, is it the Red/burgundy one sit on the hoist with SAU sticker?

Saw Tein lying on the floor and i was like lucky bastard :) , hope you got the right Tein though cos' i used to have DRIFT Spec on mine and end up got rid of it. Couldn't hack with the stiffness and side way actions when the road is wet.

Also nice power curve there, had my SAFC tuned by ice as well but curve wasn't as good as your, maybe it was late so Nigel did a quick tuning job and it wasn't on Ice dyno either ( like i was told ) cos' they got some insurance problems therfore i end up got almost 200kw@wheel :(

i originally had some tein hr's on my car which were boned and not only were they stiff, but felt like they just dropped into the bumps in the road, so bad kidney pains for 3 years of having the car lol

these tein flex are awesome, still stiff, but they dont just drop with a thud, feel so nice

had someone tailgate me last night on the way home after a long drive back from chelt>city>highpoint>home, now i never really speed up or anything, i just go the limit, plus it was raining, so when we get to a main round a bout, i stuck to the 70km/h limit on the outside lane in the rain, not a budge, then accelerate a bit more coming out of it, and was fine, little bit of a loss of traction but nothing to major as i didnt floor it

    • 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.
