What have you done to your car today?

fitted my new rear strut brace.

replaced my uppipe ( what a mission). everything was going sweet, i'd taken off the downpipe and headers easily enough but then there was one nut holding the uppipe to the turbo that wouldn't come off. i tried CRC, rattle gun, blow torch but i ended up burring it so i tried vice grips which didn't work, i couldnt get the grinder in there to grind it off so i ended up having to drill the nut to pieces. i replaced it because it had a leak, i thought it might have been a small hole in it somewhere but when i pulled it out it fell in half.

When i went to put the replacement in the same nut was still on it and after the CRC and blow torch didn't work on that one either i ground it off without wrecking the stud.

It took 5 hours to replace the uppipe

Installed whiteline 22mm adjustable rear sway bar. It's for a GC/GF chassis but it's exactly the same as the stock one on the v7 sti just thicker/heavier so it fits perfect.

For future reference, the whiteline KLC19 rear swaybar links are not suitable for the v7 Sti mount on the second rear control arm. The whiteline website says otherwise but don't believe it!

Pulled half the motor to bits trying to sort dodgy idle

Swore at it and taking it to stubaru today instead hahaha

Poking around under it to get to 02 sensor found I think it has a/market swaybars? They look quite thick, and they're like a bright metallic blue, brighter than the body is. Nothing else under the car is painted, and the thing rides daaamn stiff compared to my last BH, I put it down to big wheels but makes more sense now.

Fixed some random vacuum operated thingymajingy on the wee Pug and now it has low down torque to go with the million revs it loves to pull. Fun times. Coming to the realisation that I should have bought a 205 GTi back in the day instead of my RS :P

      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
