So i remember the previous owner of my stagea told me the rear had stock suspension, now i just thought he had no idea seeming how low the rear was.

The rear has felt really "saggy" lately so last ngiht i thought i would have a look.

So it seems yeas, i had stock rear suspension, but it is totally stuffed, im able to push the suspension down with my hands =(

Seeming i didnt wanna drive it with such bad suspension i have now put good stock suspension in the rear, and it looks terrible lol.

So now to figure out what i want to do, i dont wanna guy new coil over for the rear as i have a lot of other stuff i have to pay for at the moment,

dont know weather to leave it like this, or try and find some rear suspension thats lowered and good condion????

Before and after pics attached

also whats in the front, make sure it matches. are they just lowered springs alround with shot rear shocks? if so just put new shocks in. dunno why you would run coilovers in the rear and not the front?

It's funny that since you sold me your rear coilovers a mate of yours and now you could have used them! Took a little work to free up the lock nuts but they work all good!

Unlucky....

seems like thread could get interesting.

back in for story time.

this is a little odd. why ever run coilovers on the front and not the rear? just take the coilovers out, use stock stuff which someone is surely selling cheap (sold mine sorry) and buy a propper set of matching coilovers when the money is available.

Yeha i never thought i would need them. my own fault lol

Nah no real story.

He sold me coilovers cheap as. I put them on my car. Had to unstuck the lock nuts, easily done.


They work fine.

Dunno, like i said it was done by previous owner, seen it done on a lot of cars,

anyway, yeah i will look for a complete set once i have the cash

yeah well the wife said she will get me coil overs for my bday at the end of november, so just gonna puit stock suspension in the dront, just gotta find some as i can seen to find much for sale at the moment

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
