Well thanks for all the advice. I finally took my car to centreline on monday for the wheel allignment. Turns out all the camber and caster bushings were stuffed, all torn and cracked, so there was no point doing an allignment with those bushes. So I lashed out and spent some cash with whiteline adjustable camber and caster bushes. $800 all up with allignment so a fair bit more than I expected but a huge improvement in steering feel and the car rides a lot better now. He said he gave me a SAU member discount although I don't know how much it was. I dealt with Chris mostly and he was helpful but the older guy (Glen I think?) was a cranky old bastard. Now I gotta just get some new tyres and I'm all set for DECA. See you all there.

haha, yeah thats Glen. He's not big on talking :)

I've taken my 32 there a few times now and i even drive down from Geelong! So that should give you an idea of how good they are. They basically transformed the handling of the 32 from bad to great :blink:

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
