Unsure on the black colour of wheels im sure will grow on me i do like how its gone back to looking like a sleeper again though.

The brakes stand out nicely and other stuff like the stainless downpipe hidden in behind the wheel tub also stands out which is cool I did all that stuff in stainless because I'm a bit of a poser and wanted shiny stuff on the rough looking shell.

Current work I need to do, get this Mafless tune finished! Fuck my life annoyingly it works well enough to run but its calculated airflow is back to front at idle it basically thinks its flat out fuel wise and runs rich enough to spit raw fuel out exhaust. I can go back to MAF but that limits me to 9psi which is where im at now...... but the MAF is now playing up like theres a broken wire and engine just dies.

Seats just need the Air bag wiring repinned into the system i need to go to pick a part and grab some plugs off a donor. Theyre bloody marvelous to sit in!

Fit the bonnet scoop to let the heat out.

I need to do driveshaft hoops and that should have me cert ready.

Haven't checked yet but do have the tool for programming SRS if it isnt plug and play i can probably change it in the controller to accept it. Internet rumour says same up till vf I'll believe it once I poke around with multimeter or after they're pinned in the SRS DTC Clears.

So side project update, ive done an operating system swap in my LS P59 PCM so it will now run on my cable throttle body fine, then patched it to run BOOST OS 5.2..... then setup everything in Tunerpro to run my engine eg: number of cylinders fuel injectors then my eyes went square and I decided to call it for night as was quite a lot of pissing around using command prompts and bloody everything!

I now have a base setup and will continue setting things up this week.

So can keep thinking about wiring it and adding in the LS coils (and finding some ls coils anyones got any??)

Back to tuning this weapon ive been fighting MAF DTC since I put the new engine in which has left me stranded a few times I always made it home but it knocked my confidence about driving the car.

Today while poke around with multimeter the plug itself the connectors had lost all the tension so I dismantled the plug managed to retension the connectors and the issue went away, THANK FUCK FOR THAT! yes im running the MAF again but I managed to drive it for longest trip in ages.

I then did some logging with wideband found fuel is pretty good everywhere except toward idle it was rich by 30% I removed 19% and the car is so much happier previously my clothes would stink of petrol if I stood near it at idle.

I'll leave at that for now and revisit after a bit more driving.

New wheels fit with a tiny spacer in rear if I trim some plastic liner out I could probably ditch spacer all together yay Progress!

At 12 psi its pretty bloody rapid too!

Just ordered some tyres for front and the correct wheel nuts so I dont have to dick around at cert and wof time. 

Next job get SRS back online and go for a warrant and start driving shit out of it get some k's on the motor ive got a good tune in it now at 12psi and could likely run more but will wait till ive got first oil change in it 1000-1500ks should do it. 

Run in oil has been dropped and looked as expected so im on synthetic now.

Bricked the PCM I was testing my MAFLESS tune on so thats on backburner for now till I get another or un brick the 4 I have.

The LS pcm project is at the point of working out triggering and wiring, the base tune and calibration are written. I'll be picking some brains internationally about how those parts are done.

I sold a LS pcm ive been practicing on so thats been gobbled up already by the new tyres.

Made matching v6 pcm programming box its cool I like it. Currently in MAP tuning purgatory this makes things much easier go for a drive log everything make changes in Tunerpro flash on bench to a spare PCM slap it in and go for another drive rinse repeat!

Time to Rip the cars face off! The Bumper the support all of the turbo system and put it back to WOF spec. Bought some new tyres for front which I'll get fitted up very soon.

May need to go back to stock seats will see if I can resolve the VE airbag seats In VY Car problems ive created for myself.

Seeing as fronts coming off may as well fit new headlights as the stock ones are terrible.
