A handy arrangement last week has led to Golgo sporting some new footwear. Replacing the stalwart TE37s are a set of Work Emotion CR Kai rims - in bronze, of course.

I think they look great!

Is a slightly darker bronze than the Volks - but it suits the purple perfectly.

Still 18x9.5" - the offset is slightly different, so they don't sit out quite as wide as the TEs did... but the difference is negligable.

They have stickers which will be applied in due course - as we all know how much I like stickers :D

The Volks have gone to a very deserving home - so stay tuned to see them on their new owner in the coming weeks. Will look hot :P

Ah Shan, that's the door.

The a-pillar is the bit the windscreen is attached to :D

But yes... the stickers are my next project.

Time they came off I'm afraid :P

BTW: Technically, since I still have the Rays wheel nuts - it's OK to leave them though :P

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
