What was he driving? 
I'm assuming you've got no idea who it is 


Didn't see.. Wife just told me it was green P's
Wouldn't have a clue... Been told who it was but don't remember/care. I do remember he plays for St Kilda though

Took the STI for a roasting down Dandenong tourist road, thing feels like a gokart! 

Once I hit the bottom brakes doing some nice squeaking, bedded dem babies in nicely. Stopped after a while which was good :)

Ordered a tow bar the other night so I can be a cool cat and tow a jet ski, this counts as first mod right?

I'm familiar with the relative size of modern jet skis

They are boats compared to their 90s counterparts, which you used to get thrown off so much more easily at lower speeds

Stability and top speed have come a long way

considering the amount of contact they have it makes complete sense. Unlike a car with 4 small rubber patches they have an entire hull available to them.

but that friction does impact them in straight lines, (thus why they like to get bow out of water)

 

used to watch the offshore power boat racing, the cornering some of them did were unbelievable, but my god the costs involved..

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
