Cheers mate. They should be on soon, all going right you'll see it at the weekender.

Am a bit annoyed the coilovers have corroded so fast. It doesn't go out much in winter. Have been looking to replace them as I think the rear shocks are sticking still. But the 2871 has eaten the funds.

LOL I've not heard from Him since before the Quake. I guess the Wangan wing will have been my only compensation. Doesn't balance ecu, map and coilovers.

Yeah I'm a bit pissed but they are well out of warranty now. They had them to look at last year...nothing wrong apparently.

Some nice funky bits

Is it the damper you think is sticking? Pritty easy to check, just remove the topmount, and spring then fully push in the damper and watch it slowly extend to full lenth, don't have to touch the rusty bits at all. Done mine a few weekends back while changing springs but they are still basicly new anyway.

I think so mate. Will give that a try then. The dampening adjusters certainly seem very resistant to being adjusted.

I got a set of wheel nuts for a ****ed engine, piss poor paint job and shagged coilovers haha.

**MapBoy** · 02-12-2011, 20:10

**MapBoy** · 11-12-2011, 21:36

Still got to get my injectors and braided lines. But should be ready for fitting cool stuff in the new year.

Yeah man. It was a lot worse than it looked.

Marty is planning on getting the wheel fixed.

**Rubix_Cube** · 19-12-2011, 15:49

Yours and a few others lol.

Well got an update....but no pics lol.

Just back from "GI Motorsport" where I got my new clutch and the nismo flywheel fitted for a good price.
Feels very different...but then my old one had mm's left of disc

Almost stalled a couple of times but am getting the feel for it.
My left leg is gonna hurt by the weekend lol
Just got to hold back to bed it in. Once thats done its time for the cams, nismo emgine mounts and EBC.

I'm glad its back as my daily drive Yaris shat its water pump last week. Just what I needed in Jan....to have to use the Sil80 as my daily.

My bank is gonna love me by months end.

Lol cheers mate. Weirdly it wont mate to my Greddy turbo elbow. 2 bits touch and prevent me from bolting them up. Will post pics later.

As for mapping. I have no Idea, Steve Sadler is not getting anywhere near my car again. I'd love to try Greg Gush@pro tunner. But is a hell of a treck. Then again I could let herman do his magic lol.
