Yeah must admit, when I got it I had to fill it right up with oil. So had a hard life, and had given it alot of motorway driving with only 4 gears it would set in the high revs alot...Year later it went bye bye when I hit rush hour traffic, fortunately I got it off the highway just in time. Had to take the emergency lane quickly, otherwise I would be the reson for a traffic jam haha

Pickapart mission; wagon = much nicer experience.

Went in to get a power steering pump and an air flow meter, came out with a powersteering pump, a pair of shocks and springs, a fujitsubo muffler (EPIC SCORE OF WIN) and a pair of seats from a BG5B to upgrade my BG5A ones - these ones actually count as buckets.

No AFM. FFFUUU.

Last time I'm bloody well dragging all that heavy shit from one side of the yard to the other though, I need to hire helpers.

cleaned up GTB interior for my GT, usual baby shampoo with sugar soap ;D smelling good!

50/50 mix + water?

What tool did you use?

yea diluted sugar soap in hot water, and apply baby shampoo after the first good scrub and rinse, used a real stiff brush, then hosed off, normally like to use a water blaster to hose off but mine is broke

same, managed to find more than an hour to work on it this weekend....

made up custom brackets for my catch can and boost solenoid, installed top tank and cut all my top tank hoses to size and clamped on my new radiator hoses.

Tried to close the bonnet and relised the ICV hits the bonnet frame, 11mm phoenolic spacers with a V8 sti manifold in a GC8 doesn't quite fit it turns out.

Need to trim some of the frame out of the way.

Just need 1 fitting and a short piece of fuel hose and my fuel system is complete, the just need one hose for crank case breather to catch can and thats out of the way.

So just need to get air temp sensor bung welded on and bolt the intercooler pipework together and ready for the auto sparky

      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
