Ridemx21 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 took the car for a bit of a road test drives well. calibrated the speedo but just having a problem with tacho not working, seems like a problem from the ecu signal. Got a set of s13 stockies for it to get ready for the pits. also finished flaring guards and gave the car a respray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestikoph1 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hey mate congrats on getting her on the road, bad luck with the bearing though!! At least it's an excuse to go bigger and better. Out of interest who did you use for engineering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridemx21 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Today i decided to do a bit in the engine bay. Got rid of the maf and replaced it with a pod filter adapter, 3-2.5 inch silicon reducer and a piece of straight 2.5inch pipe. Also got rid of all the egr stuff from the engine bay and started re routing my wiring and ignitor through the guard Before: After: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
