Hey guys, thanks for another nice night.

to keep everyone up to date on the nights events, my wing has now been removed, with the help of a few others, and i love the look.

The local constabulary payed us a visit, flexed their muscles using scare tactics, licence checks and hanging around us for a while, but no defects were issued and they left us in peace.

and DO NOT travel behind Niks car, esp if he decides to give it a boot, you'll be left with blurry vision, a smoke coated front bar, and stinging eyes.

i realy injoyed my self thank's guys for a great night. cant whait for next friday and am looking forward to getting to know you guy's better.

once he put the foot down all i saw was black smoke. ( where's the road!, where am I!) nik i think you should have your valve seals checked, normaly happens on engines that have done a few k's. only hapens at hish rev's, the oil sneaks past the valve stems and gets blown straight out the exauhst. sould coast to much to fix?

Nothing wrong with the engine, its just running a tad rich and has high flow cat, so not much restriction in the exhaust :(

if you guy's think it's all good then it's all good. it's just ive seen black smoke out of lots of cars before and this was more smoke than i have ever seen! the clowd was the size of his car (no bulls#@*)

not always the case nik :thumbsup: if it runs to rich it can fowl stuff up pretty quick eg spark plugs etc wont it ??? obviously a little rich wont matter though

Oh noes~! my spark plugs~! :(

We've had a lambda meter up the exhaust and it runs an air/fuel ratio of between 11.5 to 11.7:1 acorss the whole rev range its on boost, which is about as high as you want to take it when youre running 15psi+ (although some shops take it to 12:1).

The reason it pisses out so much smoke is because its a *very* free flowing exhaust.

whouldn't whant to race him, he'd blast of bast me taking the whole shot take it to the red line and shift (ejects top secret blinding smoke) and before i could work out which way is the finish line nik whould be past it. sounds cool to me!

last friday night i promised to give somone some initial-d dvd's for give me for forgeting your name (i suck at rembering name's) ive got them ready for you but my cluch in my line'r whent on sunday and iv'e got now way to get them to you! i could arange to get them posted to you just let me know what you would like me to do, thanks!

    • 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.
