Yeah it's good, handles crazy good and brakes are awesome. 

It's cool having a new car with heaps of modern features with an old school feeling turbocharged engine & manual gearbox.
The turbo lag and when it hits makes it feel faster than what it is, which in a way is good for the street. Once I'm nearing the end of warranty will do some mods surely, but for now happy with how it is, maybe just get a catback exhaust soon. 

160awkw? not sure :D

Just mod it already, no need for warranty in one of these subies.

They're pretty reliable.

All good. I bought what I needed for $11.Still got a gremlin where with one of the rear parkers plugged in, it prevents the brake light on the other tail light from working... :confused: I've got a homemade CAD wiring diagram from online, but doesn't really help narrow things down.

My $400USD venture into various crypto is now worth $570USD in under a month. Take that bank interest rates!

It's a bit confusing where values can be estimated/defined to USD, or altcoins against Bitcoin or Ethereum. So with bitcoin rising so fast, it looks like the altcoins are dropping, but against the USD they're increasing too.

What else are you on?

I’ve doubled in probably 7-8 weeks

I've heard mixed reviews of the engine reliability, not as bad as the Focus RS headgaskets though :O 

It'll be catback first as no tune required then down pipe intake tune once I've saved enough side cash to help fund a engine rebuild if that happens :P

not a bad idea actually...

Apoc, Switch, Oracle, Trinity, Cypher, Dozer.

Very cyberpunk. Much anarchy. Such rebellious.

 

So some amateur car photographer posted a photo of the gloria and put it on instagram 6 months ago, mate tagged me in it, nek minnit she inviting me to a "secret cruise" in 2 weeks in Craigieburn. I cant see the facebook event to suss out who is going, but is this how kids do car meets these days? invite only. I mean, I am VIP, but driving through northern suburbs with P platers is not my idea of a Sunday arvo well spent.

 

Edit: think ill buy this and put it on my fridge

Yes, everyone is a bunch of invite only elitist flogs who are scared to have their idea of "this is a nice car" challenged.

I now have cancer from reading about "secret cruises" in Craigieburn for VIP cars.

You can attend those smashed gearbox or beaten by Birds meets


The "I stripped first when I launched it" cruises? followed closely by the "I got a built gearbox and a tough clutch after stripping first so I blew up the diff when I launched it" cruise.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
