Hi,

Could be now that you've said that... I did get a flat battery the other day for no apparent reason... just about sure lights were off when I parked (it was night time) and when i woke up to go to work, no battery power.. hmmm.. i'll check.. but never thought battery would have anything to do with it.

Hey Guys,

Never assume the worst when it comes to misses or stutters.Always check the basics first.

1.Clean coils and check for cracks.Really check.Take coil cover off and look at night while reving engine.

2.Remove filter box and intercooler 90 deg. bends going through inner guard.Boost leaks will give same problem but usually in lower rev range.So look for cracks in rubber.

3.Anybody using a unichip will eventually find out the crank angle sensor does not like to share it`s signal for to long before it will develope a miss.It can also happen to non chipped cars to.

4.Check all vaccume lines against another car if your car has had a mechanic working on it.Check all wiring to.To the mechanics that are indeed professional I apologise.To all you other pretenders, go have alook at Croydon Motorsport Developement just for one day.

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
