Not really updates but mid January i installed a Intercooler and Nistune. Then a few weeks after the Nistune install i noticed i had made a mistake, the extra $1000 for a plug in didn't seem reasonable at the time but i was wrong.I was led to the Nistune because I had been quoted $2600 for any other plug in like Vipec/Link/Haltech etc. The reason behind the sudden change is because i read a thread by SS8_Gohan( E85/98 Flex-Fuel Mission Complete! Thanks To Chequered Tuning) noticed that i couldn't have a flex fuel setup which would mean fill whatever you like between the tune whilst also being able to run the rare E85, that seems to be a little more forgiving for those chasing decent numbers.

Car currently has 90000kms on it so i thought i might aswell do a 100k service and took out the old water pump,belt and idlers. Seemed like a easy task so i thought should give it a crack. After everything was done I noticed the engine had a funny whinny noise coming from the front of the engine. It was because i had bought the blue Gates timing belts which apparently need little to no tension due to their stiffness so I took it off and did it again. Second time the noise was slightly less but still not the best and also had a coolant leak from the water pump so I took it off, third time lucky the noise was gone and no leaks, took the car for a drive and everything was all good.
