im not sure if my laurel did have guages in it but it was gutted when it got here. Holes where guages were, turbo timer and maybe what was an ebc holes were left in the dash. Little annoyed but i'll fix it. Dangerousdave you were in town the other night hey? (saturday). I pulled up next to you in the primed onevia.

Yeah man, that was me. Took me awhile to realise it was you. I eventually went to my mate, hey thats that Mase fella!

Nah this breaks my spirits.

I'm kinda 50/50 on the whole thing and god its a damn good lookin car but yea I don't know if my budget allows for a re-spray and I'm thinkin I can get a car that don't need a respray for the same money... but it just won't be a ceffy.. and if it is won't be rb25.

Shieeeeeet!

Some pics (want more ask steve)-

due what are u worried about?? it doesnt need a respray... just take the rims down to get redone and thats about it! the inside of the filler cap can be blown in but the green contrasts the white... just have green accents in the interior and engine bay :D

Thanks guys that makes me feel better.

There are actually a couple of places the green shows through however, it's only a little bit but yeah enough for me to want a respray. I guess I'm fussy like that.

And I would *IMAGINE* (I'm only guessing) the car was the stock colour, then lime green, then they sprayed it white.

I would have preferred they left it green hehe.

[edit: Iwells - the side skirts and near the door seals etc have some white flaking off the same green is underneath, not much but enough to tell the whole car was green before the white]

Anyways in my mind the little places that it comes through annoy me enough to get it sprayed which means I can't get the rims I wanted. So I'm still thinking about it..

As for the front bar if I decide to go ahead with the buy munkey is welcome to have the bar to make copies from it, or if he wants to repair the small cracks in it he is welcome to have it for a case of beer or something.

Otherwise if I don't go ahead with the buy - he can barter with Steve. (I was going to buy a front bar from him to replace this one for the respray).

Cheers guys... but yea I'm still bummed .. I have less than 24hrs to decide to get it or no as I don't want to mess Steve around as I'm sure it's a great car and many a more less-aesthetically fussy people will be able to snap up what is otherwise a great car.

Unfortunately I'm too ugly not to have a perfect (or near perfect) paint job.... TO GET THE CHICKS BRO!

O_o

(such a nice ass on the car tho)

Well, it sounds like it would only need a few areas touched up, not a back-to-metal, complete car respray, so it could be reasonably affordable.

Maybe get the front bar repaired, then get the bar and the spots the paint is flaking touched up at the same time?

Unfortunately this is the chance you take with dori'ed cars :D

LW.

LOL scrape it green.

Like I said. If you were as ugly as I was you'd need a good paint job to attract the CHICKS BRO.

Uhm.. cough..

Yeah I'm torn so I'm going to have a think about it - and I can't thank Steve enough he's been a champ - especially that he knows I'm the type of guy who would spray the car. Scratch it drifting, then pay to have the scratch fixed.

If I destroyed the front bumper, I would get another one put on with the same paint at cost... why? ... FOR THE CHICKS BRO!@

... cough.. anyway...

Watch this space - damnit ceffies are the shizo!

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
