Yeah bought a second hand engine with 120kms on it for $2200 including shipping and a 3 month warranty. Took it to southern, about $3500 in bills there (wont know exactly till tomorrow) which includes replacing timing belt / clutch / cambelt etc and obviously dropping the engine in.

Would explain that shiny green wrx that sits opposite the parts department i see there every time i go to pick up my oil filter or wiper blades =)

not a wrx, gravel express..... not shiny atm, stupid roadtrips in the rain. waiting for sun to come out so i can wash and wax it again. Used to have a Blue legacy GX best car imo, came to it one day and found a wee note on it, ClubSub join for $10 a year... Yeah no thanks. BTW that was about 4yrs ago.

Are you a shady character with something to hide?

(1)You drive a gravel express (2)and it happens to sit outside Southern, (3) but you say you might work there but give no definative anwswer so you cannot sound wrong??? if you arnt working there why dont you just say and if you are why be so gaurded about it? i.e. if your an apprentice im sure people will understand that you may be wrong no-one is 100% correct all the time, plus it would be good to have local contacts in the industry to devulge info from.

Be good to meet you in person - you should come along to a meet (yo dont have to be a paid member to come out) ;D

Haha went for a few heli's out bucklands actually ! Made use of that HELI#ART sticker on the back windscreen lol. Funny you say that, came back into Dunedin and had to go through a breath testing checkpoint on George Street. Told the cop had been out to bucklands as he commented on whether i had been off roading.He was all sweet licence/rego;/wof/breath test and i was off again - although a couple other cops literally stopped and stared :)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
