Bit more of an update. I'm working in Swan Hill for 10 days at a time so I've got limited time to work on the car. Still with help from my mate Matt Femino we're still making progress

Headlight moulds are coming along

My sexy Tein RS's have arrived as well. Happy that the spring rates are the same as my last set. Should have better bump and rebound adjustment now for a bit more fine tuning.

Thanks to Aaron from Import Monster with his help in getting these in from Japan.

I cleaned up the rest of the sound deadening and prepped it for the cage.

Loading up to go to Trackart to get the cage fitted.

I pick up the car this Friday so I'll be finishing the interior and cage painting.

I've still gotta replace the gearbox as the old one had synchro clips fall out of the drain hole when I did my last oil change. 4th gear synchro is no longer there lol.

Hopefully June 11th will be my next outing... lots to do!

11th June? Phillip Island. What are you are you doing with your REs?

Tampered day at winton.

RE's I'll be selling but only after the RS's have proven themselves.

Thanks Matt. I'll see you there mate

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
