Yea I will ;)

I've got power fc

The car is runnin abit rich at the moment too plus one of the sparkies isn't the best cause one of the spitfires shit itself and I had to run a standard pack for a day till I got another set of spitfires.

I dunno, prob the best thing to do is hand it over to a tuner, it's what they do best lol

And Terry nope I had no idea :$

HAhaha thats pretty funny, unintended humour is the best kind.

i wanted to say something snide and hurtful but to be honest i probably would have read it similarly as well, just not bit so quickly.

i think it helps in the NSW section that we know theres a chance we could actually meet half the people on here, looking forward to next sunday actually. Hope you sort out your retarded ECU by then and can make it along Matty :P

I don't understand the concept of a retune if no hardware was changed... if a cars health has deteriorated that far since the tune, it's probably dead.. This obviously isn't the case if you have a shit tune though.. Hard to diagnose, if it is hardware related, leaking hose, it will always have the issue...

Well I dunno dude, it's always pinged abit after the tune so ill get that sorted when i get sum time off work but this new problem only started once I changed the type of oil I use

Turbo does need a rebuild also

It could be that the ecu has a "summer" tune in it, an the ecu isn't adjusting the tune to the cooler temps appropriately and hence running flat and misfiring. And this is why a retune would help. But then you'll have issues once the temps warm up again.

      Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?

      Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!

      I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.

      It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it

      More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
