Did you run power to the antenna? If you did not your antenna are not powered as they are designed to be. The standard set up only runs power to the antenna when the TV is selected. When you select the AUX input it turns the antenna power off. Cheers Andy

No, Stock power supply. When I drive around right hand corners and I give the car a bit of throttle (usuall in 1st or 2nd) I get a big hesitation around 3-4k rpm. The car settles and then continues on to higher rpm. I took Craig for a drive and he thought it felt like the fuel pump as he though his did something similar before it failed. Not sure if it is all the time but I am usually conscious of it when the tank is 1/4 or lower. I have the option of changing the pump tomorrow whilst fuel is low of filling up tomorrow and seeing if it still persists with a full tank.

Installed New Alternator and Power Steering belts today. Also adjusted the front sway bar to a stiffer setting now that I have some tires with a little grip. Diagnosed another problem of a big hesitation around right hand corners.. time to replace the Walbro fuel pump.

More like a BITCH of a job!!

Get the HAWK pads .....

No, You drain it each time you do an oil change and I usually have around 1 - 1.5 inches of oil collected in the catch can. The breather on the other bank sits directly below the intake resonator pipe that is in the upper right corner (black pipe) of Jetwrecks photo. This breather is quite a large diameter pipe which makes it a little tricky to match up to a smaller size catch can.

Ditched the trailer at Canberra. A mate took it home as I was heading on to Albury. Went from from heavy towing load, to mountain roads to Freeway... that was the difference.

Latest road trip recorded the following fuel economy. Loaded with 4 people and all luggage. Sydney - Canberra (towing a 7 x 4 box trailer with 4 bikes mounted on top) = 15L/100km Canberra - Albury (via The Alpine Way) = 14.2L/100km. Albury (2 days commuting) - Goulburn = 11.7L/100km Goulburn - Ryde = 9.2L/100km Pretty happy with results.

Here till early Wednesday morning. Saying at the relies in Lavington.

Filling up at a servo in Wodonga yesterday, said to the guy as I went to pay, the silver wagon. He says, you mean the VOLVO..... ggggrrrrrrrr... NOT A BLOODY VOLVO..

I recon it could put that much water into your car. I know that I get a fair size puddle under my car when I park it let alone when I am driving it.

Mine does that but it is the Greddy ProfecB boost controller..

Was driving down to Canberra on Friday with my trailer in tow and had to make a road side stop to remove the Grub screw from the BOV. It made the car damn near un-drivable with grub screw in. Car was staggering and shuddering every time I lifted the slightest bit off the throttle. Will be doing some more work on Wednesday on the BOV with some silicon spray that I hope will improve the performance of the BOV.

Most things like this sort of DIY already exist on the forum.. You just need to search..

Improved so that it only does it now on higher rpm.... I will post up a sound bite later tonight..

gave it a spray with WD40 and this improved the opening of the BOV and reduced the noise..

All lines put back in place...

Looks like the memory is starting to fail me.... lol

That is the plan today.. Could well be that my BOV needs a bit of TLC...

A little more than that I think but not far till my tune,....

yup 20110407 074942.wav

In the BOV there is a small hole that allows the air to bleed unregulated. That is the hole I filled. After 1 day results are, certainly comes on a little stronger and build boost a little faster but at a price. Throttle is a little more stuttery but not a problem BUT I have the Turbo making a loud noise. Not sure what you call it but it but like a high pitched and quite audible around. I am going to try a little mod today on it today and will let you know how it goes.

Man.. your economy sux.. At the moment I can get 14.2L/100km (460km) with about 10 liters left in the tank on crappy stop start city driving. Usually get around 10.2L on the open road.

They sound like the stock ones. From memory stock front is 30mm and rear is 24mm BUT they are hollow. So taping them nay give you the indication. The GB ones are 32mm front and 27mm rear and both are solid so it is something like 70% stiffer than the factory ones.
