Just thought i'd post up a few picutres of my car now it has come back from the painters. I wasn't sure what it would turn out like but i'm happy with the result, a bit of a head turner... The pictures dont do the paint work justice!

Yup the colour is ford xr6 orange or blood orange. Nismogirl, it was the colour in my avatar, but it was a custom colour and i couldn't get anyone to match the colour when i wanted to fit a new body kit, so a full respray was in order, it used to be midnight purple with very very faint glitter and a pearl through it... Also the paint had faded around the shity stickers that where up the side, so if i ever took them off you could see the fading, wich would look crapy..

I got it done thru maroochy smash repairs, they did an excellent job... I cannot find any blemishes, scratches or anything wrong with the paint work at all. A great job indeed.. :P

*off topic* (hey josh/matt do any of you guys have kurt wimmers mobile number? I lost his number and need to get ahold of him, if ya's do could ya's pm it to me? cheers :) )

    • 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.
