But It's a golf with a lift kit and a nicer interior?
 
I'm still enjoying my golf, and as a bonus the turbo still hasn't shat itself yet, so that's a bonus.


No complaints here.

Nearly 160,000km here.

Triumph is for sale... it is fun to drive, sounds great. Maybe as a paddock or private road car, hell, even hillclimbs, but driving on the road regularly with it is not very appealing (for me).

I just posted on the ozaudi forums when I got my car and it’s rediculously dead on there. I felt nostalgic cos I was like “man SAU looks and feels so much better than this” and then I just got back on SAU.

Oh wait that's the Focus RS :P 

I read too much about chocolate pistons on the STI :( but I want to go STAGE 2 (yeah I said that) the amount of STAGE talk on the Subie FB groups makes me want to cut myself

That was a production screw up. it seems they put the 2.3 turbo mustang head gasket onto the focus motors and their deck surfaces are slightly different in where they have oil and water channels and they eventually fail because of it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
