Yeah well was dropped off 2nd November and leading up to Xmas said was just snowed under with cars to fix etc, apparently was just a fuel pump to install and AFM at that time  but that was around Xmas when we spoke about it. Why would they want to push a car in and out the workshop daily when it just needs a fuel pump and start it ??

Been an awesome day, the tuner wasn't expecting me to drive it home so we went out for some very basic road tuning to make it drivable.  She's running very rich, so can't put much boost in or it stutters but the thing is very lively, was pulling well without even any boost, gonna be a weapon when tuned. I pulled into a servo to fuel up and some old Indian women in the car opposite, her look was priceless, haha, so disgusted with the sound of the RB haha.. 

Mod plate and some more fabrications like flexible joint in dump and blow off valve recirc next then a road tune followed by a few runs on dyno to further fine tune things.

Been trying to tuck the exhaust up higher, it was 2inch off ground , has to be 100mm at lowest point.  Shes now 75mm front and bout 90mm at middle muffler.  Cant physically go higher cause theres 10mm between middle muffler and the body.. will have to keep raising the coilovers ?.  Im expecting popo pulling me over so want it legal height and mod plated before driving again, i know a guy who can do it so thats next thing..

Isn't this thing a race car or something?

Why number plates and driving on the road etc?  Put it on the track.  No police.  Solved.

Cut and raise the floor, lift the exhaust.  Solved.

:)  in truth, looking ok.  Just give a few more updates, presume it's actually hit a dyno and you're moving onto the next problem areas to solve.

Finally hit the dyno, the 1000cc x spurts at 85% and walbro pump at its limits also so stopping here.  Didn't get chance to play with cam positions and was expecting boost on earlier but it's got plenty of grunt on the street frying the 275's in second.

Had a big win today, the exhaust although sounded great under boost was droning and too loud in traffic so I made a holmz heltz resonator chamber.  It's maybe working too good as its super quiet now,  who would of thought a big cannon could be quiet and  cost me nothing ?... my welding is super amateur but it works ...

When I get time I'll make a series of different lengths and fine tune it..

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
