Nudge Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 will be fireing up tommorow, just got ancilleries to put on
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 taxed, insured, mot'd and done about 20miles so far.. only thing I found not tightenned fully was rear trailing arm (was pulling left on lift off... lol..) tightenned and perfect. Simon
eurosti Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Was over your way today Simon dropping a gearbox off! Would have liked to have popped in but time was against me to get the pick-up back! So when is the first track day?
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 would have been good to see you.. I fitted boost controller today - had be undecided whether to go for the ecu controlling it or the AVCR.. decided I like playing with the boost whilst driving so went with AVC-R... had been on actuator pressure of 1.2bar until then.. on the drive home.. 1.5bar - holly crap I forgot how quick 450 is decided to change wheel colour to black..
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 oh and I didn;'t realise how rare the colour was.. 100saloons and 100wagons all special editions.. no idea why though
eurosti Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Its good to be rare lol, maybe i will see 450 next year when i get my lump sum lol.
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 picture of car on my mates drive in derby, done 260miles in it today.. no beats skipped gauge pod removed, reason for me planning to flock the dash blantantly obvious in this pic gauges already in it my gauges fitted.. sticking with boost gauge also fitted switch for antilag to the underside Simon
luke_clifton Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Looks brilliant mate, can't wait to see the finished interior. Been a great read.
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 it looks horrendously high ride height and handles like that too!!! wheels going black and coilovers to come
luke_clifton Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Sounds nice! Please don't hurt this scooby though
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 lol.. I'll try not to.. DCCD controller still to fit which will help on track Simon
luke_clifton Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 JGM, you've seen many scooby's right? Is it possible to use the 2.0ltr ancillarys on a 2.5sti block?
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 I dread to think how many passenger seats I have sat in and ecu's I have poked yes - I use everything from 2litre for my 2.5.. Simon
luke_clifton Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Exellent, just the news i wanted to hear. 2.5 here we come. My plan is to buy a wrecked sti engine from a breakers (bottom end wrecked) and buy a 2.5sti block brand new. Gives me chance to get the heads ported and polished. Thanks for the info
Jolly Green Monster Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 any 93~96 ecu can be remapped via use of an ESL daughterboard.. just needs a spare chip socket soldered in if not installed with one already, I keep them in stock with socket on and just switch etc. the actually ecu the board goes in makes no difference be it 2C or Z4 as the map is replaced via the new board and remap etc Simon
Garth W Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Cheerz matey i'll come and see you when i want more power and ive got more money!
