Whoretown - Now Interest Free

Unless they've changed a lot in the last 18 months or so, both Link and Wolf (and Microtech etc) tend to be racing ECUs - they will get your car running, back lack some of the things that make a car nice to drive day-to-day. Things like cold start, idle control (when the aircon cuts in, in particular), variable cam timing control etc, and they generally have a lower mapping resolution too.

Thankyou Marc. These are the type of answers i have been trying to get for a month now.

lol no probs

I think the factory climate control system relies on the ECU somewhat too, and with a digital (ie non-mechanical) dash it's always worth checking if your new ECU will run it. The last thing you want is to be forced to run the factory ECU alongside your shiny new one, just so you can get the dash working.

So, At the end of the day all roads lead to Haltec. Pretty much what i thought.

Indeed.

Let me know when you've got the nawz controller hooked up, I can put you in touch with a guy that can get you two big bottles, and he can have them by tonight.

what a day... took car in at 8 this morning to get coilovers raised, offset bushes put in to fix steering problem and full wheel align, to be finsihed at 1pm.. went back at 1pm to find the car hasn't moved they hadn't done any work on it. Tell them just to raise the coilovers as i had to take the car to beenleigh station to clear my defect today only - was the only day since it was issued i could get off work (must have car for work) and i fly up to gladstone tomorrow morning, the deadline for taking the car to the cops will pass when i'm up there

They attempt to raise rear suspension only to find the adjusting nut is siezed and the locing one fell apart

So i'm up for new coilovers or lengthy repairs to the old ones. At least i can still drive the car I got the shop to do me a letter which i took to the cops to try get an extension of the defect inspection until after i get back from gladstone, after much resistance they gave me till the 23rd...i fly back home on the 19th but will be in the process of moving house to rocky/buderim (still haven't sorted that out either)

rofl. Spoke to an old pal in the game on monday. Grant from brisbane engine balancing. what he said made a lot of sense. set up a NOS system that fires up instantly then cuts out as boost comes on board. Fat power right across the board that way.

yeah like today was the only day i had to do repairs... they penalize me for working..my income tax pays their wages, damn the irony in that

I would classify myself as an honest decent citizen, and to be honest i was treated like crap by this system that makes little allowance for people in my position. (i gave them contact details of my employer who will confirm this has been the first proper opportunity i have had, plus the letter from the workshop and thats still not enough).

I just hope i can find the time to get it sorted when i get back, gotta decide which option to take, either:

-pull out coilovers, buy secondhand stock suspension and get that installed to clear defect while i get my ones repaired/rebuilt(no idea $$ wise but $1K plus at least?)

-pull out coilovers and replace with new ones (approx $2k?)

-pull out coilovers and have them repaired/rebuilt and suffer without car for few days (or more depends on how long it will take)

-leave suspension as is, and try getting a new turbo back exhaust custom made to hug the floor ,and hope that that would give me enough ground clearance.. $1-1.5K + sacrifce in power and flow of current zorst.

so in short =

Hmm might be interesting, I'd be keen to see it if/when it's set up.

I've long wondered about how they'd go with a Vortech-style blower on the side though - simple exhaust, no lag and can be set to make good boost from very low rpm

isaac, i have john's old stock suspension at my place u can use to get by. let me know when u can get out my way and ill whack them in for you

For your mate, $30k. It is regarded as the best looking IS in OZ. And is maintained to that high standard.

lol dude you hav another option....

depanding on how much you have to raise it... get your self a set of old rims and put high profile tyres on them this will raise the car.....

eg... 225/45/r17 was 11cm swaped rims and tyres 205/65/r15 ride height changed to 16cm, just do this to clear the defect then put the old rims back on.....
