For those that remember the gold mid/late 90's 3.0L V6 Magna (rego: BOOYA) from the 4, 6 and Rotary Nationals... it looks like he decided to get serious! He was on the SA part of our forum for a short while too.

looks like the photos were taken here at Wayville Showgrounds, with the Truckworks tow truck in the background of one pics, and a GTS Monaro with SA plates in another pic. Wasn't there a Street Machine show or something the other week at Wayville? Methinks he was down here for that. He is from Alice Springs fyi, and seemed like a nice enough bloke to talk to, but got mighty defensive (as I would too) when some of us bagged him on the forums for having a Magna :D

By the 'looks' of the modifications this thing has big hp potential! It's got a pretty big turbo, huge FMIC, serious fuel system (custom rail and just look at the hardware in the boot!) it even has a custom plenum. If the internals have been upgraded then it would be very interesting to see just how much grunt this engine makes? A turbocharged 3.0L V6 would have a bucketload of torque too.

Yeah, big HP and FWD are a scary combination.

Remember Nightcrawler test driving a hotted up turbo cordia many moons ago, me in the passenger seat, and this thing hitting boost and swapping lanes on us in the blink of an eye!

Never again I said.

yes that was certainly one of the scaries moments I have had in a car ..... luckily we were on MacIntyre Road and there was a lane to spare, otherwise we'd have been toast. I obviously didn't buy it after that experience.

hey i saw that car here quite a while ago ... he used to have a huuuuge wing ... LOL i guess all the baggin on this forum made him take it off ... but how much would all those mods cost to do?? and only 240fwhp .... thats like 180fwkw ... hardly seems worth it??

    • 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.
