    Flap wheel on a power drill use a fine grit one go round and round refit frequently to ensure you don't go over. Probably take 5 minutes.

    Held off lowering this thing for ages because I was just enjoying not having to brake for speed humps. But shit it looks good, back right is a little higher than left at moment think i might just need to rotate spring a bit so it leans a bit better, I'll see if it settles.
  3. Muncie
    Apart from the moped parts this things pretty ready to go. However i am now a bit broke and it needs tyres so will see

    Removed the warrant adapter and refitted the turbo and all is good. Plugs then maybe some low next.
  5. Muncie
    Yup fairly keen. Pm me
  6. Muncie
    Oh look, I actually bought some springs after 5 years FE2 police spec so about 25mm lower for rear not as hard as king springs thats why ive tracked them down. Will find some heavy duty ones for front maybe even coil overs. Love a low car but not when it makes it shit to live with.

    Dragged out again emptied all the tyres push bikes etc used for a tip run on weekend, discovered a dead tyre threw on a random 15" one i had which made it keel over with the 13" on other side. Still needs back door so may get over to Bunnings or something and buy a sheet of ply for a temporary fix. Is a heavy beast. All cool drag day stuff is now inside.

    Plugs are surely on last legs went in 4 years ago got gaps smashed down and run ridiculously rich when I first started up. Will get new ones in and retest. WOT is happy so its off boost and transition to play with oh and cold start at least I don't need to be doing mach 1 to work on that.
  9. Muncie
    Yup, enrichment is a setting i can mess with im still going fairly cautiously seems to be working as its still alive. The turbo wakes up super quick so I might also be getting a boost spike knock retard is catching it and pulling timing. Looking forward to ZUTUTUTU the shit out of and have it change gears properly with the Corvette servo in trans and shift times knocked down in the calibration. Be great if I could get some E85.

    WOF's achieved now to refit everything probably 30 minute job. Do a service and Spark plugs update tune then park it till drag day. I did a some logging last weekend and found it pings for a nanosecond at transition then is fine through to rev limit so will pull a few degrees of timing out of 2000-3000rpm should sort that.
  11. Muncie
    Wof time yes that's a funky looking set of headers..... I've gone for the soul destroying option of removing everything that handles boost. Because i still want to do the suspension before going for a cert and that's an after Christmas/Drag day problem.
  12. Muncie
    I had a 2000 year 4.6 gave me no problems nick named the ramshorn due to the funky inlet manifold way more punchy than a 3.9. I tried both when car shopping. supposedly last of series had issues sorted.
  13. Muncie
    Just getting ready for wof so turbo off. Seems to run fine.
  14. Muncie
    Be rude to not try the 19x10s on the front wouldn't it? If i bolt on Adventra flares 19x10 all around would actually work 275s up front look meaty as hell some Porsche 911 tyres on back would be a hell of a combo. Now i know they'll work I'll keep that in back of my mind when I do the repaint of the shitty bits.
  15. Muncie
    Tried on the 19x9's and Hoosier slicks on back which I'll run drag day they fit perfectly so that'll be plan for these BMW Wheels find another set and mix and match.
  16. Muncie
    Off a diesel?
  17. Muncie
    I'm going to say same as you 14s easy 100mph plus easily I've tried using Torque Pro app a few times and aborting run at 200kph due to a corner coming pant shittingly fast.
  18. Muncie
    Been digging deeper into the PCM and have started tuning the Transmission which shifts almost DSG like now smooth but quickly it's not harsh hopefully this cuts down on heat generation when it's balls out on track. Also ran some logs and adjusted timing in 2 spots where it was detecting knock and pulling timing for a split second with that done it goes great even on just 6psi. Pulled 10% fuel out below 3000rpm 400mg/c which it loved! And hopefully improves fuel economy. Mucked around with traction control so it doesn't do the big belly flop instead it now just retries for traction carries on till it finds it which should soften the driveline impact it used to have and allow it to power on through. Think oil pressure may be dropping off little so next job is to put a gauge on and if necessary shim the relief valve. *edit think ive finally hit the peak of my bell curve learning where it takes me ages to learn new things then I shift into get shit done mode and everything happens quickly and takes little effort. am I ADHD probably......
  19. Muncie
    Yeah I've been watching Corn fed boosts channel and RK Garage and have been pestering them both on the pcmhacking.net forum hence my car runs with a bit of help from Rhys from RK Garage. This has turned a into a bit of 'a word from my sponsors' HP Academy was a great help too getting my head around the tuning side. Haha as everyone says yeah its just fuel and timing which is true but changing those in a stock PCM is bit harder. Then there's all the other cool shit you can mess with like traction control etc.
  20. Muncie
    Interested in this too. Can DBW be set up as a standalone kind of thing? Eg only TPS back to ECU or do you have to have ecu feedback in system........ massive lack of knowledge here.
  21. Muncie
    Seems some of ya got wrong end of stick im not building a stroker just a freshened up supercharged bottom end with ecotec heads think it came across wrong. This has been a cheap build really a turbo Barra would have cost me way more and i wouldn't have learnt anywhere near as much as everything is off the shelf. Main goal was to freshen up on my fabrication skills and learn some tuning on a inexpensive engine.
  22. Muncie
    Next engine is a simple combo based on the supercharged L67 block it needs a rebore due to some scored bores so new maybe forged pistons and rebore, then run the ecotec heads. Throw some arp hardware at it l67 has good rods already, did think about forged bottom end but I can't afford a 700hp capable drivetrain anyway so why bother. Will use the best of the factory gear for this one and lean on it.
  23. Muncie
    Just mean a rebore 20-30 thou over im so old i don't know the metric equivalent. My other block has scored bores it needs new pistons so may as well machine out fit new stock ones open ring gaps up a bit 500hp + on an L67 is apparently no issue all the cool kids in Oz are doing it. It's the 3.8. Alloytecs are a very different beast i bought one and pulled it down decided not to go ahead with it. way to complicated and the stock ECU'S aren't reliable or well supported which would of meant needing a $3k ecu to run it and then the rest of the car would throw a fit. Be very cool though outside my skill set and budget for what I want.
  24. Muncie
    So......... what does it cost to rebore a v6 out next size? Now ive had a taste of turning the wick up i want more so will start looking at throwing new pistons at my spare supercharged block and getting it in. Im not kidding myself this thing is gonna blow up at some stage.
  25. Muncie
    Thinking ahead to cert time @cletus has anyone used these yet? Pricey but bolt in would save so much pissing around making one.
