yee i heard about the alarm thingy for a couple of people, if worst comes then im just gonna remove the alarm.

i havent tried the bump start it yet as im waiting for new cooler pipes so hopefully i can work something out when i get them.

i bought a brand new century battery when i first got it so ye, pretty trippy. i think im just gonna disconnect the battery fully in the future.

thanks for the tips guys :thumbsup:

How do they do that? is it the immobilizer light thing?

I think its something to do with having to send constant signals to all the sensors.

If you go with a new battery, there's a parts shop in Sydney call Peps, who have these new sealed battery's for under $100.

I drive my car once a month in a good year and have been using one of these, with a $10 solar charger and has been fine.

      And also there were for sale scams and the like. For sale posts need piccies, and not having piccies makes it harder to do a driveby scam.

      And I forgot to add my *** footnote to the above post, which was that the pipework mods would be even more significant than what had to be done for the highflow. So just add that onto the list. Pipework mods are no killer, just made the tasklist longer at a time when extra tasks were not welcome.

      I mean he could post them to imgur or the like and create a link. But yeah, spam bots absolutely will post pictures in their first posts.

      Ah ok, reason I asked was for the sake of not having to upgrade everything if the turbo couldn't be capped.

      pffft! My alignments are starting to take 3-4 weeks each. Bugger overnight - that would be a dream! Overnight is when I leave it on stands with the rear suspension in pieces, hoping I can remember where I was at when I come back to it. I have to set the car up on a level surface so I can get decent camber measurements, then try to set the RUCAs to the right length to get that right. Then I have to put the car somewhere else where I have enough room to set up the bumpsteer gauge (laser, paper, mirror), so I can dial out that. Then I need to go measure camber again because changing the tension arm length affects that also. Then I need to measure toe, and I can't do that to my own satisfaction at home, so I have to put it on an actual aligner. Then I have to go back and fix the camber again, and if that took more than a half a turn, decide if I want to set up the bumpsteer measurements again. I previously had the bumpsteer almost completely banished and then I started changing things again! And that's only the rear end. Not even gotten to talking about the front yet. And this has been going on in the context of me discovering a seized bolt in the LHR FUCA bush at the upright, hence needing total disassembly to replace that bush and the others that were not far away from the same outcome, replacing sphericals in the front end and making a mistake that resulted in needing to do it again, which is only half done right now. It's a selfmade nightmare. Only have self to blame, etc etc. But regardless, I am so complelely unable to utilise the services of a normal wheel aligner that I have no choice. I haven't found a shop in my city that does "race" alignments - and by that I don't mean I want my car to be set up for racing, but the set of adjustments that I have available and that need to be used to do the alignment are the same as you'd find on a race car. I haven't looked everywhere, but there doesn't appear to be the equivalent of the motorsport focused shops that are present in Sydney and Melbourne. And such an alignment would cost $300, and you only want to do it once in a while, and you don't want to find out that you have to replace bushes and bearings and such while you are spending that $300 so you have to come back and spend it again a week later. So I stay living in my self made nightmare for the moment.
