Did any RS models come with LSDs? Havent put it on the hoist to check if I have an LSD or ATTESSA yet...

Got my Blitz panel filter last night, so plugs and air filter going in tomorrow before I head down to the local craft brewery to watch the taxi racing.

Yup, HICAS equipped models got LSD.

thus all ARXs have LSD. Any RS or AXIS with HICAS will have LSD. RX will never have one as HICAS wasnt an option.

PRTechnology (Porsche tune shop). They made up a jig for the dump/front pipe, so im guessing they will sell a few! I will keep you posted. :thumbsup:

Love it. Bends or no bends, it looks like a nice bit of gear. PM me the price?

So povo pack, and luxo barge models got one (with HICAS), but the best model didn't...?:wacko:

My ribs hurt... Craig might have to install my LSD...:ph34r:

In Other news- PNM35 travelled to Orange and back today - about 520kms 3 ppl, shit in the back. Did 10.4km/L on the screen, on track for about 750kms out of the tank- Bells line of road- so plenty of hills.

Much enjoyed Sway bar handling, but some of the bumps on the road hurt my ass- def time for a re-asphalt.

Nice. Will have to hurry up and get it on a hoist to check then.

In other news, car has a pretty loud turbo whistle that wasn't picked up during inspection. Was going to get it balanced, but the turbo guys have suggested it wouldn't be worth it, and go for a stage 2 or 3 rebuild instead. Stage 3 sounds like the way to go, but they won't do it until I've upgraded the fuel system and intercooler. Guys seemed to have a fair idea about M35s, a lot of what they said matched up to what I've read on here.

So guess I'll put up with it being noisy for a while until I've upgraded everythimg else. Just annoyed that I had the car inspected by people who were supposed to know the cars and they didn't even identify an obvious issue.

/end rant

Stage 3 isnt a great option, Aaron has boost spike issues with his. I went stage 1 on mine. If you go too laggy you will need to run a high stall converter when you build the box.

There may be a better option soon if you want to run an off the shelf Garrett. :whistling:

Turbo whine is normal....just make sure you keep good oil up to it!

To go to a stage 3 setup you will need about $6,500 to get it working properly.....and that's before you touch the gearbox!....and that's also providing you do most of the work yourself!....on the bright you will be pushing close to 300AWKW's on BP!

and that provided if you want the turbo to only come on at 5k rpm

I bought it from a dealer, but other than that thr car seems mint, happy with it.

Put the air filter in and removed the inspection plate, seems to pull harder. Love driving the thing every time I go out!

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
