What have you done to your car today?

Well "Red" got a birthday, new oil, filter, plugs. and cleaned up a couple things. I decided to run with some Bosch platinums that i got from SuperCheap for $30. Decided against running Iridiums as ill be looking at changing them every oil change and checking the state of my tune. I will keep an eye the Bosch plugs as there doesn't seem to be much feedback here on them. If any one has run them, i'd be keen on there findings ;D

Definitely get that boot on there, sucks ass when you get in out from the rain, go to stop with wet shoes and ping off comes your foot. Enough to put a parcel in your back pocket

I wanted a warrant today and didnt think my normal workshop was open. The guy actually put the microphone of the noise tester in the exhaust lol. 110DB at idle in the exhaust ha ha. I am aware thats incorrect so I will go see my mechanic this week instead.

I was also failed on the brake pedal missing a brake rubber. A little anal but its the rule I guess.

Yeah I don't really have an issue with that at all, The rules the rules and I got no issue living inside of them. It was more the noise reading that got my goat, it has had a VTNZ warrant with that exhaust before and he just plain old did it wrong.

But he didn't strike me as the type who would want to hear my opinion lol.

Im running the platinum iridiums from bosch as well as there were no ngk's in the 7 heat range around at the time. They are gapped down to .7 and are doin a good job so far

Weather is complete crap so I cleaned out the garage so I could get back into working on Rex.

Removed glass/electrics/mechanisms from rear doors of rally car. Started grinding out the panel steel to get access to the side intrusion beams. Not going to use the door cards again, will cover them with .9mm alloy plates. With them, removed the doors will be uber light!

I never go to VTNZ unless I have to lol. If i get pinky'd etc then a trip to VTNZ it is. otherwise my local Mechanic/Wof shop wil do.

I havent had to try this one so I dunno if it still works ....

A mate of mine would "lose" a number plate while out in the wop wops playing in the gravel. He'd then go into AA and apply for new plates!

Chucked a boost gauge on it, had found a rip in w/g hose, fixed that, thought it felt flat - 8 or 9psi on both pri and secondary will do that, was just running w/g pressure.

Doubling it should knock a couple seconds off the daily commute :D

CUDDAS - love the look the brakes & wheels gives the car

      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
