Ok, as I posted last week my car went into 101 Motorcafe on monday the 10th. I must say these guys were great, they kept me informed of everything they were doing and told me if I was wasting my money (i.e no you don't need a fuel pump yet.) they looked after my car and did a great job of installing the parts and my car now runs so much better. only issue was it took a day longer then expected due to them waiting on a part. I have no hesitation in recomending these guys to anyone. if anyone is looking for a mechanic around the brisbane/ logan area give these guys a call and see what you think.

I've actually heard a fair bit of positive stuff about these blokes, and my/mates mechanic uses them for tuning from time to time (he normally sends stuff up to Toowoomba) so they must be pretty good.

How was their pricing? Thats basically the only bad thing I've heard that they were over priced, but other said they were good.

The Pricing was great bout $800 cheaper then every where else I went.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
