like a ferarri wagon dude. Looks sharp as a tac.

Thanks Quikstagea,

I likes the girl. She's gonna get plenty of TLC as soon as I can drum up some cash. Right now I'm waiting for the Tax man to send me whats mine so I can get her in for a service.

Yeah looks great Daniel, will have to catch up soon and have a look-see.

Tell em about your power output, then they'll be jealous.

:laugh:

Thanks Brendan, yeah definitely have to catch up, may have to organise an SA stagea cruise in the new year.

The car is making 191awkw, but I'm looking to do more things to it in the next few months. Engine will be rebuilt with forged pistons, plus turbo upgrade, cams, injectors etc. If things go to plan it should be making 250+ kw.

Ian, great choice of colour, I wouldn't think there would be too many red S2's around.

You lucky, lucky man, Brett - that thing is a weapon!

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to your new addiction!

I'm guessing the car is staying in Sydney, right? You just missed out on the cruise we had. Andy rang Jay that day, but I think Jay was working.

Link to the cruise is HERE.

does have a catch can, jay gave me one with the salealong with a gearbox short shifter and all other junk, sweet as thanks guys, and no im not in sydney im on the mid north coast 4 hours away... but ill be goin to as many cruises as possible...

VERY NICE RIDE

Pity u didnt get his numberplates....?

Im glad there are a couple of quick cars in ur 'previous rides' list, cos that stagea would be a lot to handle with the pedal down.

yeah fair enough... its a fair bit for sure. The number plates i want are $2200. WAGGIN. ut at least i get to keep em as long as i want.

Love the steering and horsepower comments in your sig, man. Drive safe!! lol

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
