Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Well the zed is nearly completely back together. Exhaust back on and everything connected. Runs on 6 and can move under it's own power.

Had to relocate the windscreen washer to the boot for airflow through drivers side side mount intercooler. Didn't have enough vac hose at home to run the plumbing but I did run all the electrics for it.

All that is left now is obviously the plumbing for the washer bottle, all the undertrays, and the intercooler ducting which is a royal PITA. Going to leave that until the tech day on sat.

Oh and I need a new wideband sensor. the one I installed is stuffed, reading 3points leaner than the other. Not 3/10th, 3 wholes.

So I was forced to replace my muffler today due to a severe rattle, my car now actually has an exhaust sound.

Picked this up second hand for $100 fully installed inc welding. It's a name brand muffler, but let's just call it a 'legnaflow'...

Morning everyone!

Just a quick pop in to say hi and to let everyone know that the club emails should be working later today.

Unfortunately cmshosting and puntoitalia just flipped the switch and deleted our hosting from their servers without notification or warning.

The hosting has now been moved to a new web host and a blog/news portal with information on what events are coming up etc as well as links into these forums will be setup.

At present, any communication should be directed to [email protected]

All of the @sauqld.com email addresses should be functional later today.

Chat soon. Bout time I turn up to an event and catch up with everyone.

Cheers,

Ben.

I dislike pickles... But ham and cheese are tasty...

I followed lunch up with some popping candy and the accounts girl laughed at me :)

Now I REALLLLLY want milk but I don't have any of my milk at work :(

    • 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.
