Hey all,

Just wanted 2 share my good news with u.

My car is featured in the latest HPI mag (should be on sale by the end of the week) as a 5 page article! (Pages 78 - 82)

I am so stoked about this as this is my fav mag ever & i have been buying it 4 years now & it's like a dream come true 2 have my own car in there.

Even more exciting is i can't think of the last time if ever they featured a girls car in a story so even more of an achievement.

Only let down is the photo shoot was done months ago now before my new interior & custom fusion boot install was put in.

Anyways hopefully u can all check it out & let me now what u think?

Cudos !! It's a great feeling ( I know ) but a word of advice from someone who's been there, now that everyone ( that includes the *##holes ) knows your car and what's in it, it becomes even more of a target for theft so be extra carefull.

whats so special about ur car?

i do appologise i only saw this now...

i'm not really sure what u mean by this? are u wanting me 2 tell u what i like about my car or do u think it is 'not worthy' 2 be in there?

well i guess u can't please everyone but these pics were also without my new interior & stereo/boot install (see sig below) - next week when i will have my car back with new engine & gearbox i wil be sure 2 post some new pics up - even the harshest critic will be sure 2 give respect when it's due - will be a full blown race car that can still be driven on the street - not too bad 4 a car that has a stack of performance & looks okay too - oh yeah & is owned & driven only by a female - that's what i like about it anyways....

btw please feel free 2 post pics up of ur car, i alway find that ppl who make comments like these either 1. do not own a car or 2. have a car that doesn't even compare 2 the cars they seem 2 so easily bag out...

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
