My 2009 BL is still holding up after >140k. Lots of rattles and harshness, but I blame that on the stiff engine mounts and country roads! Had front control arms and strut bearings replaced recently...

Looks awesome and keen to hear how they go in the track. I'm surprised the alcon ones were street-focussed. What's the downside for using race-focussed steel?

Mut77 I passed an engineering cert in the ACT with the second cat removed and they checked legal requirements very closely. Definitely an easy power mod to do (couple of hours, ramps, and basic...
Good to hear and good luck :D

Celestial blue mps silhouette from 2XS racing. Just in case I forget what the car looks like :D Overseas, so can't get a pic.

Sell the sp23 and buy an mps3 :D

Yep, pretty quiet. Welcome though :D

Does it cycle between those two rpm values you show? That's fairly normal as the car adjusts for the air con load. Try turning off the AC and see if it stabilises at the lower rpm. Have you checked...
Considering a switch to VT when I finally replace my long suffering KO4. I'm currently building an android - based had unit and would love to have the option to monitor, log and flash tunes via...
I think it's luck of the draw a bit, too. My first one died the day after my 10k service. Bone stock. Second one has lasted another 115k with more and more mods added and no smoke yet.

Ah, makes sense. I have no personal experience, but a quick search provides some useful info.

I think they are pretty much compatible, as long as you have the 3 transmission etc. Did you blow the engine on the 3 or something?

What are you actually trying to do?

Hi. Yeah, you need better logs for anyone to help much. Do some research, but below is a cheat sheet.
You need two types of log. MAF Cal looks at the whole range of airflow readings across the rpm...
No idea. That distance is a vague guestimtion at the best of times. Do you have a way to read LTFT? That should tell you if there are any changes in fueling. I wouldn't expect any measurable change...
Welcome. Yep, that's the one. You should see the CEL for egr appear once removed as a confirmation that it worked. Given there are no spanners involved and all the work for this mod is done with w...
Gsl rallysport used to do buy 3 get one free on the bilsteins, but I don't think they do anymore :( Pedders sell them (I think they are b8). Maybe they will have a sale or do a decent price for...
+1 on the bilsteins. With suspension, seems you get what you pay for and all of the engineering is really in the shocks. Bilstein seem to be among the best for quality, reliability and consistency at...
Shit man, looks nasty. Good repair though! Did the workshop take any responsibility, or are you just going to avoid them in future?
Optima are great batteries. I've had a yellow top for years...
Sounds fun :s Yeah, towels sound like a good idea...and a box :D

Nice work. Much more snug than the factory ones. How much work is it to switch them over each race day?

+1 on the bilsteins, they are awesome, either spring/shock combo or coilovers. I have a set of b8s with eibach springs which are a bit softer (non-linear travel) while the kings are more aggressive I...
Do you have other mounts? REM is pretty mild, even with the harshest mounts. Once you get to side mounts it gets much worse. Drivers side is the worst apparently (I did both sides at once and a...
Welcome. Nice pics. I reckon that intake manifold needs to be red or black though :D
