Oh yeah... Broken bracket - rear right lower arm - at the subframe! Without hitting anything. Hahahahahhaha

Btw. That tow - nice chap. Cost me $120 from TAFE to Rydalmere. His number is 0432 550 077 his name is Micheal. If ever need a tow.

Beware, I VOW to have Godzilla back for the next Texi run. Sitting on the sidelines is just too hard.

And for anyone thinking, oh my car isn't good enough. Well my "TEST" pass runs on Confusion, Looper 88 and Double Slalom were made in poor little Rupret my Daily FWD Mazda 3. Only aftermarket parts on him are a set of rims.

No excuse not to come out and have a go for fun!

Woot!! One more to make things more interesting! The more the merrier! Heheheh [emoji12]

Btw. Thanks for pointing out the rear arm to me. [emoji4][emoji4] much appreciated.

Thanks to all who organized, helped out etc. I had a great day, car hated it kept fouling the spark plugs (Bloody Rotor's) HAHAAA

very out of touch with RWD, manual and skids!!! was still very fun, bit disappointed I didn't wreck a pair of tyres, every time I went to grab second it would either bog down or hit the boost to hard and spin me there was no inbetween :( a different diff ratio would probably help but no point as Texi was 1 off just for a bit of fun :)

Unfortunately the RX7 won't come back to Texi but if I can prevent the Stagea from blowing a P/S pump I'll definitely bring that back!!!

didn't get many photo's, still suck at getting a decent action photo HAHA........ its about time I do some proper research on the capabilities of my DSLR

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
