funny incident..

Was cruising with my mate last night in his TT Soarer. Pull up to a set of lights on leach highway, and a 'glowing' wrx pulls up next to us. He had neon light instrument cluster (which was literally glowing outside the car!), what looked to be neon light surrounding the exhaust!!? wtf?? plus glowing windscreen wipers and various stickers in and around his car. :)

anyway, he looked over at us and gave us the thumbs up, so i looked back over at him and gave him the thumbs down :D . He then wound his window down and said 'what was that for?!' i said 'why all the glowing lights, christmas isnt until a couple of months?'. he got a really confused look on his face and by this time the lights had gone green, so he went to nail it, and stalled it!! :) so my mate just floored the soarer and left his ricey ass for dead!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

two of my friends own wrx's with neons everywhere :D  

and if you check under the bonnet's they defenatly have the go`

the driver looked australian. caucasian with blonde (dyed?) hair. car was blue. looked like a MY98 or 97? well because he stalled it he didnt get to show us if it had any go.

puckish, yes i am a witness to TT soarer beating wrxs, my mate has raced 2 of them while i was in the car, and has beaten both, the closest was one which had aftermarket air intake mods (exhaust, pod etc..)

doesn't sound like my friends haha

they are both white wrx's ... :D

both car's perform nearly the same as stock.

so they should be a good fight, i've seen some gtst's blown away at the lights by soarer's.

it all depends on the driver i think, especially if its manual vs auto ...

manual has to take off properly or else he has no chance [i lost to my friends soarer once in my previous car, gts-t, coz i got too much wheel spin]

yeah he has yet to have a gtst give him a go? but i think he has only raced a couple. I never under estimate soarers the 1jz has some lethal potential if it has a manual box and traction control attached to it!!

      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.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
