Gotta undo motor mounts tomorrow and jack the motor up. Sump isn't sealed well.. it's pissing oil!! Then going to dyno next week get a proper tune done.
Once car is tuned then will order Adaptronic ecu from Elliott. Keen to give it a bash |

So the oil leak has been sorted atleast.
Went to get the car tuned however I was receiving RPM interference and "Home" and "Reference" errors on the Microtech handset. The timing was jumping all over the place. The guy managed to tune the car a bit so I can drive it. So then my mission was to sort out the interference issues and the errors. Turns out wires were wrong way around on one of the crank angle sensor plugs:( Changed the wires around and no more errors or red light on the ECU happy days!! So gonna take the car back for a tune sometime soon so I can go race the car and enjoy it a bit. The guy who fixed my ecu problem has a nice Borg warner S400 76mm turbo for me with a 1.10 exhaust housing:icon_tup: Going to buy that and get a new manifold made same time but first Im collecting some fuel goodies to go with the larger turbo Things on order at the moment: 1x bosch 044 fuel pump 1x AEM FPR Aftermarket Primary and secondary fuel rails 2x 1600cc secondary injectors Some recent pics from the passed few weeks Attachment 624645 Attachment 624646 Little Rotary gathering the other day Attachment 624647 My car with a 650kw Supra Attachment 624648 http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/...pse8eemiyt.jpg My Fd and my mates GTI on neochrome Rota's and Airlift air suspension Attachment 624649 |

The clown who wired it in mixed up the polarities on the one plug:scratch: Anyway car is running nicely now made some alright power for the current setup that is in the car.

Wanted a pump gas tune so we stopped the tuning at that boost Attachment 623532 Attachment 623533 Another pic from the wash meet the other day Attachment 623534 Nice and clean Attachment 623535 Attachment 623536 Attachment 623537 |

Car's looking sweet as ever man. You must link us when you get your feature!
|
Will send the link when it comes out Simon but will only be next year.
Recently fitted some Carbon Ganador super mirrors will upload some pics Also went to a local meetup of some of the elite cars in the car scene in JHB on Saturday awaiting some pics from that event. |
Great looking car! Love it!
Not sure if you're aware, but where your trailing arm connects to the lower control arm there should be a pillow-ball bushing and not a poly bushing. That's why its popping out like that. The pillow-ball bushing is held in by retention clips which keep it in place. Not sure if you put a poly bush there intentionally or by accident. |
