Andre3000 55 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 all i need now is some nice wheels as the current ones are stolen from the racecar You should really buy a set of black centered bbs rs 16". Much like Kel's set Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) long time no update. Planned to spend a bit of tonight taking some pics, so I spent the day cleaning the car up, used heaps on touchup paint on the front to get rid of all the stonechips . I also installed a 13 button OBC and it seems to work fine, but I cant set the time, the 1,10,100,1000 buttons work as I used them to set the speed function but they just don't do anything when I try to set the time am I doing it wrong? Also installed cruise control but it doesn't do anything when I pull the stalk onto resume How can I find out what's failing? Lastly I attached all the Tech2 properly (tape was never going to last), feel's alot nicer to drive knowing the kit isn't flapping in the wind. Will post pics later tonight Edited October 9, 2009 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) looks real good man, how much in total did it cost you? I've been keeping record's for everything I buy for this car (except petrol) and I'm still under my initial budget of $3999.99 I've still got a few things to sort out, first thing is swapping the leather from the 4door seats to the coupe seats, ive started but left it for a rainy day. Also got the OBC to set the time, had to press the reset button heaps, then It co-operated. There are still some gremblins in it, The LIMIT, TIME and TEMP function's work but not the RANGE and SPEED functions SPEED just stays at 0km/h and RANGE stays on ---- Cruise control still doesn't work, not sure if its a faulty computer or faulty throttle unit Installed the under dash panel, have kicked it a few times changing gear so I've zip tied it as high as I can get it, problem sorted. Still can't decide to do with it engine wise, maybe an M50 conversion is on the card's. Edited October 10, 2009 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 So I swapped the leather in and gave the interior a good clean, also took some of the sag out of the front valence by screwing it to the numberplate Anyone know how to adjust the bonnet to sit lower? its abount 5mm to high Also I have a problem with the right rear wheel bouncing when loosing traction, almost like axle tramp in an American car, anyone know what might be causing it? its definitely not the shock and it only happens at slow speeds. here's a pic of it in attack mode and some others Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
