What does the loom do? I though most of the time the ones in the guards were to do with headlights and indicators.

I've lost my indicators and a couple of other little bits. Headlights are still ok and rest of the car is running as per normal. Chris is sorting it out tomorrow and I got some prices on some new rubber for the fronts. Will have a look and see if I can't jack it up a little further but they look like they are at 100% as is...

All I want is a front end I trust and right now I don't trust mine as far as I can throw it :( There must be some aspect of the front suspension setup I'm overlooking, surely the change from 225/45 to 235/45 can't be the only culprit here. Its only 4.5mm difference in the sidewall or 9mm overall.

Morning Mangs,

Too quiet in here :(

That sux dude :(.

Remember 225/45 to 235/45 is going to make the tyre WIDER and TALLER. So it could make a difference.

Yeah, it is different but who'd have thought that 10mm wider and 4.5mm higher would make so much difference. Once I get the loom sorted I'm thinking I'll go buy some 225/45 595 RS-R's for the fronts and keep the 235's as spares to replace the rears I'll no doubt ruin at the drag day ;)

Question for all. If under boost my car sounds like i am strangling a cat BUT only happens when cold what would that mean? Thinking turbo on the way out but hoping that isnt the problem.

Oh and good morning all

Looks like Joe made a call to UK customs for me! :) Thanks Brooo

Could be a dying turbo. Could just be a gasket or something too. worth checking out.

Customs clearance number speeds that up. average ex japan for me is 3-5 and 6-8 for the UK.

I had no problem getting it here from the UK. Left the UK thursday night and I got it on Monday. I don't think Aus customs had a chance to blink it went through that fast.

Hold up has been sending it BACK to the UK for warranty (f*ck ever buying a phone overseas again). But it seems I can blame Joe for the holdup :P :

Urgh, my busted phone has been sitting in UK customs for 3 days. What's up with that?

I called them and told them to do so. Had to pull some strings but it was well worth it :nyaanyaa:

If it's a gasket it might just be on its way out at the moment so as the car heats up the gasket expands and fills the holes. When its cold it's contracted and leaves a bigger hole.

average ex japan through customs for us is about 20-25 minutes...:P

haha!!

your company is a 1000 times bigger than mine..
