Problem with that theory though is the 3.0 actually has to be superior to the 2.8 which ummmmmmmmmmmmm, yeah bugger it's not!

Otherwise though I'm f**kin keen for Barry to get off his arse and get yours running though!!

If it cost him half as much for basically the same then it's basically twice as good

It's impossible to get angry at Barry, he wouldn't care.

He is doing things for it, he just does import work on the side and RWC / general servicing is his main thoroughfare. Last I checked my engine was getting machined and assembled, when the car is in the workshop it'll have quicker progress I'm sure. I told him I wanted it in there before Christmas.

+1 for engine beig cheaper, plus everything in it is forged - was a deal too good to pass up. When it's all done I may reveal my total costs for the project and I think people will be surprised what I put it together for.

Douchebags lol

Not that I couldn't live in a tent but fk, are you that desperate to have your city chic life and walk to work?

Do not understand the fascination with the city; it's a busy zombie filled shithole. Working there is one thing, but living there too?

yeah, but on the flipside you don't get to sound like a flog by referring to it as an RPM 2.8 at every given opportunity... surely that's worth a few thou.

    • 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.
