SHGWAG Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Time's gone by. Had a vacuum leak meaning ECU was seeing 18PSI but AVC-R and boost gauge / dyno were only seeing 16. (now fixed) So the idea was to grab a WOF, slap it on trailer then re tune. However, I'm having problems with ignition on the rear rotor, one of the coils keeps cooking itself. Unsure what the cause is? Anywho, took it for a WOF and failed on two rear suspension bushings. As I don't want to replace with factory, can anyone on here recommend a decent replacement? (Have looked up Nolethane but according to their website they don't do them for an FD3S & a full set of FEED bushes is in excess of $1,200.00 for the car) Once a WOF is on it I plan on transporting it to 7 Heaven to sort the issues and do a full and final tune.

SHGWAG Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'll rip the arms out tomorrow then give them a call / roll in to their local branch. They are a distributor of whiteline bushes, hopefully whiteline produce what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japawagons Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Have you moved the mounting position of the coils yet? Where they are mounted is too hot for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I thought this thing was sold? Just put factory shit back in it and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHGWAG Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Factory shit is the ghey. So after replacing the bushes in the rear control arms, this now has a WOF. Still need to sort the ignition issue, this will be done when it gets it's final tune in a couple of weeks. Moving the coils is a good idea, however I'm not sure where else to mount them, as there is sweet FA room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHGWAG Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 No room on that side of the bay without going well forward. Factory the coils are mounted to the top of the block, under the intake manifold, currently they're mounted on the chassis rail. On that side of the bay you have the ABS Gear and most of the engine ancillaries hang off that side. This thing doesn't have inner guards either, which reduces locations for mounting. I could bring the coils further forward on the rail, but would increase ignition lead length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Does not have inner guards? really? So what do the lever arm dampers attach to? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 inner guards are usually thin plastic shields yeah? not structural guards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 As above, inner guards are thin plastic - which have been removed to avoid rubbing issues. If I get time tonight I'll take a pic and show you what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
