Not quite that simple.

Was orginally put together when Tickford was bought by Prodrive (UK) and started a partnership alongside Ford. Wasnt until 2012 that Prodrive ditched FPV and it was soley operated and owned by ford.

LOL! @ Photo!

Winton first time today. Off the top of my head.

Session 1: 2:03 - didnt know what I was doing

Session 2: 2:00.7 - slowly learning

Session 3: 2:00.9 - did same as last session. Didnt know what to do to go faster

Session 4: 1:57 - newbish friend helping me out with a few things I was doing wrong

Session 5: 1:55.5 - more experienced friend showing me lines for sweeper and s turn

Session 6: 1:53 - missus as passenger. Improving on what my friend pointed out with lines and braking

Not bad for sub 50 odd kw on re002 for first time. It has more in it as is. But no more track time. Will be back next time to improve! As is I think I can get 1:51-1:52 comfortably

Mate with same set up but with k24 e85 160fwkw was dipping into 1:42. Wtb mo powarh

Impressive time for your first time out in the Civic Jonoe :thumbsup:

Should buy a GPS and datalog your lap so you know corner speeds etc..

might give the bike a wash now actually. free days ftw. well, until work :(

Tony/Alvin/other 34 owners I don't know who, do you have issues with fuel gauge?

Mine is acting funny :/ Mike reckons it's sender that needs cleaning.

Filled up and gauge shows empty with low fuel light on...

Tis what Mike told me, just need to get his arse in town...

I've got to hope the trip meter doesn't shit by itself, currently relying on it to work out how much fuel I've got :P

Hmm.... No idea how long it'd take me to do it myself - I suspect it'd take 5 months to do it.

I have work Saturday, so if it takes 30 mins, I might could pop by?

anyone know if r33 gtr or r33's.. have aircon filter / pollen filter located behind the glove box?

ive read some people saying yes, others saying no..

Late cars do, earlier cars do not, best bet is to pull the glovebox and take a look.

Scotty you weld ti?

Can't open the tank, pull it out, open it, clean it, put it back in, and get the fkkkkking screw sleeve back onto the tank within 30 minutes.

Each time its taken me ages.

Yeah, and I haven't bothered to find where it's located in the 34, I think similar spot to the 33.

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
