  1. Well I've been absent from here for awhile-my bad. But today i had a complete break from the car. Did some internsl damage at Jambo over the weekend so needed to step back and gather my thoughts hahaha
  2. I'm trying to get mine certed at the moment for the rims, suspension, W/G that we have plumbed back, wheel spacers. there seems to be a hold up at the moment with everyone busy up until around June 11.
  3. brought a new 5 point race harness, put on my rally pig stickers on-not sold on them yet, might go from white to a black sticker to stick with my red on black theme. Ordered my new air horns as the factory ones are sheeet! After 2 weeks without a horn, the old finger out the window isn\'t cutting it when i get merged in on
  4. Pulled the rear hubs to get the bearings changed after putting up with the noise for long enough I also kept having visions of them failing and my wheels burying themselves into wheel well in truly spectacular fashion. While at it I inspected the rotors for wear and all the pads as well. The drivers side made a terrible sound \'free-wheeling\' after I removed it, bearings are well past there best days. No play though, just felt like there may be some pitting on the races, possibly from the seals perishing and allowing all sorts of nasty\'s inside The passengers side had a small amount of play, and a bit of noise when \'free-wheeling\'. Looking forward to noise free motoring once again ;D
  5. nah haven\'t stripped it yet. I\'m thinking about getting it rebuilt with a straight cut gear-set. The casing is sweet. But when I do strip it i\'ll update. As for the RA box, it\'s going great at the moment. Haven\'t launched it yet but it has stood up to some VERY spirited driving up in the hills. ;D
  6. Im with them and they are all good. Had a claim when a doosh bag tried dorifting in the wet around an off camber corner and hit me. They were helpful and got me sorted pretty quick.
  7. well i never did anything but diagnosed the rear annoying sound as a wheel bearing, so will be doing both rears. Also got a dangn exhaust leak in my down pipe from a torn bracket that mounts it to the gearbox. The road trip to WGN was a goodun hahahaha
  8. I\'m running a 6puk, sprung, 2100lb pressure plate, with chro mo 5.5kg flywheel and its sweet. I have killed one 5 speed but unsure if that contributed. Flat shifting will kill syncros, and boxes if you are to abusive. Puk clutches will also wear quicker from what some guys on here have found, but I guess each to their own. For me im glad I went this route, others may not.
  9. What are some of the settings people are running for their flat shift on a G4??
  10. I\'m glad someone has asked this question as i too have done some searching but nothing that actually gives a reasonable guide on what a base set up should begin from. I\'m looking at running flatshift and launch control with my G4 also so would be interested in a base set up if someone can throw one up. ;D I\'m too scared of wrecking something and have no idea where to begin ie trim table, ign retard etc etc. I\'ve spent a bit of time tootling through the menus etc (usually until the lappy goes flat) but don\'t want just start switching things around
  11. Yeah its got a small amount of herb ;D But no not a speed cut as i\'m running a Link G4. After tightening the clamp abit more it was really good today, held 15psi clean. I also swapped out my old Blitz boost guage so i could get an accurate reading(the needle used to vibrate so bad it was hard to see the difference between .8 and 1.0!!) I\'m also going to pull the plugs and gap them down to .8mm as they are 1.1 Bosch units to see if that helps. I thought the spark might be getting blown out at high load/boost points. Kind of trial and elimination with a small amount of research thrown in for safety sakes ;D
  12. tried doing some logging to find out what is causing the misfire at WOT around 5-6krpm in 5th gear. Going to check all the hose clamps as i suspect the clamp on the turbo to y-pipe is not ideal and needs replacing, causing pressure loss under load. Boost is down slightly as well. Pulls well in all other gears but WOT in 5th at 5.5krpm misfire and wont go past it. I did think after some research the knock sensor may be going as it hasn;t been replaced ever and have heard these can cause similar symptoms???
  13. changed the gearbox and diff to a 4.444 after i blew up the 3.9. Also installed a new set of coil overs-what adifference!! Feels like a complete different car
  14. Sorry I should have mentioned that I have an aftermarket top mount.
