Yeah mate been a while! Have had so many things on the go recently. I'm os at the moment on holiday.

The car made 512rwk on 34psi with full boost at 4300rpm on JEM dyno (conservative tune) so quite happy!

Still more things to do as there always is. Plan on taking it to the track soon, hence the AR1 interest. All in time!

Just a lazy 5600+rwkw! What turbo did you end up with? Must be insane to drive :D

Definitely do bolt on flares Dan. Will look Mad. Looking mad is worth at least what... 10%? 

Looking mad is worth heaps more dude :D I just dont want massive flares on wheels that only just sit outside the guards, will look homo.

I've done the bolt on flares on my car Dan. It fits the 10.5 wide wheels with 295. I think they are 40 and 50mm or 50 and 60mm??

Yeah I'm only running 9" and 255. I kind just need a 20mm flare which is hard to find as that's usually bolt on overfender territory which i don't like.

Go massive flares, do a giant burnout to ruin the new rubber you have, hit a gutter and destroy those rims.

Buy new larger rims and rubber. 

You're welcome, I'm a solutions man. 

I've only driven it on 20psi and that was 4th gear hit on the freeway. I haven't turned it up yet! Quick enough lol

It's a 6466 T4 twin scroll. Fantastic response for 4 cylinder and makes top power. There's still heaps more in it but I'm happy for now.

Looked at some pics over the weekend and think I prefer to look of rolled/flared guards vs bolt on flares. 

Spoke to panel beater and he said we can easily pull/flare enough to get the coverage but expect the paint to crack, as Hadouken said. 

Given I wouldn't mind painting it later anyway and the rest of the car is already covered in blemishes, I will probs go that way.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
