Got my car back today! Woohoo! With a 'new' rebuilt engine and a stylish 261rwkw! Rosie pulls hard - compared to what she use to. Trojan Motorsport did a great job on the rebuild.

Brilliant Jeremy, pleased to hear it's going great.

Nice numbers too for the high flow. Bet your loving it.

How's the suspension feel compared to the hard ride you had before?

Yep! It's a great build. Very pleased with it. The suspension feels amazing! I never knew my car was so stiff before! Kicking myself that it took so long to get suspension haha but the old bumps I use to avoid now barely make a dent haha

 

haha you are right! The HPI radiator got put in shortly after but my heat cover is currently on the engine and doesn't look as impressive with it on :P

So your going to keep Rosie now Jez?

I reckon you'll fall in love with it again now that you have it back better than ever. In fact once you decided to spend money fixing it the decision was made - lol

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
