yoeddynz Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Awesome awesome awesome!!!! So glad for you Zac! Makes it so good that you have always wanted one of these. Now you have one and it appears to be a ripper! Â A bit of advice from me, being a rotary nutter for a while... I have heard from those in the know that a really good thing for these FDs is to take them on runs of say around 113km give or take a few K, including a few hills. This MUST be done on a friday or a saturday. For best effect at the end of august. Â Apparently the best type of run in NZ for these cars is this one....

Popular Post ProZac Posted August 25, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well, that didn't take long. Â Â Not my finest moment. Had a stretch of two lane blacktop infront of me, completely clear. Gave it a squirt to the top end of second. Apparently it goes pretty fast at the top end of second. The officer was a really nice bloke, had a good chat after we'd done the business. 33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProZac Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ha! Got a boost guage on the thing? Not yet mate. I have an old one knocking around somewhere though that I'll throw in to check on things. You can definitely feel the second turbo though, really takes of once that things gets going! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KKtrips Posted August 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well this has been like downloading an entire season of my favourite telly series.I have had fuck all time to read the forum lately, so I've been catching up with bits and pieces as I can over the last day or two.I had the good fortune to be able to read this build thread from pretty much the point where you started diagnosing right through to now in one hit. It was the whole story in one compact 30 minute long read.I was worried that I was going to get to the end and you hadn't got around to trying to start it yet.Thankfullly when the video came into view I was very relieved.Top work on the methodical diagnostics Zac. I would have flipped all the tables and punched holes in all the walls well before now.OS really needs people like you to increase the average IQ count and I feel smarter just by reading the thread.Now you need to build a compression tester with that spark plug adapter and read via a smart phone app.Good motherfucking job man. You deserve a cold beer, shoe shine and back massage with a happy ending. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
