Ok sounds weird I was sitting in driveway and notice my front window was dirty so I cleaned it , proceeded to do rear window . I could hear motor but couldnt see water , tried again and no luck , i got a pin and checked for a blockage and tried again ... Fail. Then I see massive puddle under car WTF!!? open boot and it's flooded with water ? I dried it up and decided not to use rear wiper again , until I had to move car for dad to get his car out and I have ABS , ALSD 4WD lights on constant now . Checked where ecu is in boot and it's flooded!! Have I just f**ked my ecu!

There are 2 ecu in boot on driver side mounted under parcel shelf , I checked fuses and they are all ok? But lights are still on , it's a series 3 aswell so it runs diff abs , atessa and so on! So I'm freaking out

i dont know what the click would be, i dont think it would be coming from one of the computers unless theres a short there..if it was me id be getting an auto electrician or someone who can try and identify the faults in it, might save yourself alot of heartache

Problem fixed , water from rear wiper jet leaked because it was disconnected , probably when installing child restraints ( dodgy compliance workers ) and when I tried to use it I got water everywhere and it leaked into the ecu's. Unplug ecu and remove from car. Get a hair dryer and contact cleaner and give it a good blast while blowing hair dryer , reinstall ecu and check it works ( which mine did ) and install cable ties onto water hose so it can't come loose .

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
