What have you done to your car today?

[lachlan]

finished off the 2nd lease on life for the old hand me down bg5

new primary turb . new intercooler hoses . gutt both cats . fit gc8 sti rear muffler

fk me its a new car . feels like its supposed to go places now . not like its on borrowed time

even with the bored out primary wastegate hole it hit over 1 bar on both stages . so i teed the line to the primary wastegate into the secondary waste gate . now it has 8 psi stable as on primary and secondary .

repeat . fark its nice to drive now .

Went to fit wing today and found that it is rather poorly designed and won\'t sit well, have made up brackets to mount it to but also found that windscreen glue doesn\'t cure as fast as I would like it to so the car stands like this for the next couple days while I let it set

Also I got my old boost tap back today in the mail, got it on 16psi atm (you will all be so proud ) seems reasonably happy there and miles better than running factory boost control

Did this then after a short drive realised it was a bit impractical.

So pulled it back up to this. It may settle a little but will get it certed at this height.

Go lower!!! Lol

Roads too shit and it was hitting the bumper mount. Had to edit it a bit. Need to take for another spin and see if it still hits loaded up on corners.

Cut a big obsolete chunk out of the engine bay wiring loom of the RS. Ran out motivation to strip it out where it runs across the firewall so I went for a play in the Peugeot instead. Driving the toys is alot more fun than working on them at the mo...

Looks good at the first height doesn\'t look too low to me?

Bet it rides nice though

You need to take the bolt out of the bumper mount hammer the metal mount up and secure with a cable tie. Cut the lip of the bumper away to about half way down too, you\'ll rub through it all at that height (like I did) doesn\'t look any different from the outside.

Also if you haven\'t done it yet then hammer the bulge on the inside of the guard up flat, has no effect on the outside panel and gains you heaps of room to go lower.

Haha, "secure" the bumper with a cable tie

I can not judge, lost a lot over the years from supermarket bollard things ripping them off

Looks mint to me anyway, no point having a pig to drive for the sale of dropping it another half inch and getting more Internet kudos

It was hitting the bumper edge so ground it down and I did hammer the mount up it was worn to about 1mm from the washer. I might just move the bolt back and grind it off if I have any more problems. Because my exhaust is a straight piece of 3" with a slight kink in it at the diff it sits pretty low which was pretty annoying at first height. Its my van/ute/etc so has to be practical.

The bump you speak of is in the rear ae? Dont need to touch that didnt hit even sacked.

Rode nice sacked out not a rough ride at all. Probably better than super lows tbh.

The front bumper is held by cable ties on the ends already.

And then added this: (DEFI boost gauge)

You can - remove the transponder chip from the OEM key and tape it to the immobilser pick up antenna then any correctly cut key will work and not need a chip

And also completely defeat the relatively good (by all accounts) factory immobiliser.

It may work if you have it on your keyring beside the keybarrel.

Sign up to image shack then you can upload photos and paste the forum URL into the MSG box here. Should be fairly self explanatory as you go along, bit hard to explain over here but if you get stuck just ask!
