Yeah I dig the sunroof - that is why I want is so bad!! Well the guy put a grand down a couple of months ago and they have been looking for the whole time. This silver one I showed you was bought by the dealer for their own stock, and now this guy wants them to hold it for them!! ;) They said it's arriving on the 14th (Thursday), so I will go down then or on Friday and check it out. Hopefully he would have been contacted and come in / told them whether he wants it.

If the car is all good and he doesn't want it, it's mine!!!!

fmd!!!!  Its got a sunroof!!!  I'm gonna be jealous of that sunroof :)

I lost the bid the first time around...i think the guy selling wasn't happy with the price...so the second time i bumped my bid up...and voila!  I got a car :)

If you really want the car...maybe you should go and check it out and offer to buy it on the spot?!? Would they let you do that?!?!  Full price has got to be better than a deposit?!?!  Especially if the other guy is taking his sweet time deciding....there has to be some sorta time limit?!?!

basically, anything you see from www.markpakula.com is mark's work and everything from members.optushome.com.au/frankylie is my stuff...

i have known mark for a long time and i have learnt plenty from him...he really knows his stuff, but he should've known better than to post whore here in mona's thread ;P (lucky he had permission ;))

So does that mean the dealer has been looking for a car for that guy? Cause if thats the case you should get them to look for you?!?! Or talk to ice180...i saw some really nice cars while he was looking for me! As for the silver one...maybe you should get in on the deposit game :) Good look with it...it looks like a sweet ride!!!

Btw...are you talking about my gauges?!?! if you are...they're Greddy ones.... :)

Hey Moanie,

Yeah I was talking about your guages.. not the boost guage above the steering wheel though - the one in the centre console.

Yep they will be looking for a car for me.. it's just that the guy who does it was on holiday in Aust - he went back to Japan yesterday, so from today onwards they will be looking. And yep, I've put down a deposit too!

who are those two spunky chicks hahah

nice fotos frankyeee

yep greddy gauges, water, oil temp and exhaust if my memory serves me correctly. car pulled 240kw at the rears when wound down to 1 bar boost it did 220kw. Drives very nice and the horniest exhuast note this side of a GTR...

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
