my replacement intercooler arrived today :D . I'll drop it out to the bodyworks tomorrow, and hopefully the rest of my parts have arrived.

Good stuff. ETA on when the beast will be back on the road yet old kid???

UPDATES for me: all parts have finally arrived bar afm plug.

Hopefully can get the car running this weekend (*free plug for anyone that wants to help* :) so next weekend i can get new parts in and organise to get it tuned :banana:

Want it ready for the HSCC sprint day so time is against me :)

that was dam quick ben.

ive got a few things to get sorted out on my car but i feal it will be remaing the same engine wise for a while now.

im waiting on suspension stuff and i will be starting to tidy some stuf up soon.

you sir should live at the sunny end of the state :thumbsup:

ha thats gold i was gonna say somthing along thoes lines 2. whats that ,one rainy day in the last month.

every time i go to hobart, which has been meany this year (still gay every time i go i might add) it has rained or atleast drissled.

i am enjoying being a passenger in my car at the moment. so much so that i dont want to have to take it off the road for ongoing work.

Well the cage is finished. only took a fortnight. just gotta get the windscreen back in tomorrow. haven't painted it yet as im unsure what colour to do it in. Same blue as the exterior, Satin black or a nice Charcoal grey. What do you guys think? also got the flywheel and clutch to go in so i will do that at work this week. ready for the hill climb this sunday.

paint that cage while the glass is out. charcoal would be my pick. do it as a few weeks back i helped prep and paint a cage and it would have been 100,000,000 times easier without glass.

my front shocks arived today. they are a pair of bilstines of unknown age and condition but they have already shown they are 100times better than the original ones that i had. only problem is that my pedders lowered springs sit to low on even the highest heigh adjustment so i think ill get some whiteline spring on the way or just go back to my standard springs for a while.

now i just need the rears.

Well my car is still a pile of steel, but hopefully I will be able to make a start building the clubman this week - If anyone is keen to build a clubman, apply for the transport approval now! before we catch up with the mainland ADR's at the end of the year, it costs nothing to apply and you have 2 years to build one from the time you get approved. Shoot me a pm if keen and I will forward you the application forms :P

Are they circlip hieght ajustable? If they are, just take them to a machine shop and have some more gooves machined.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
