Over 4 years since the last update.... wowser.

Its mainly garaged and taken out on the weekends. It still turns many heads which is a laugh. I ended up getting some new rubber and replacing an alternator - which was a pita. Other than that no major changes.

Some updates...

>Replaced cam cover for red.
>Got some new gold wipers, yet to install. Hopefully not to ghey.
>Fixed stereo wiring.
>Got my ic water spray pump working again. Need to mount lower or buy a valve to stop it leaking due to gravity/height of tank being higher than ic.

Issues:
My original tune was crap.
My boost is 14 and doesn't hit that till 4.5k rpm. Should be hitting 3-3.5k
When running from 3rd gear and starting low at 4k it gets to 12psi and flutters up and down 11 and 12 psi and then eventually goes up. The tuner played around with my avcr settings and im pretty sure screwd it. To check a few things i removed the avcr controller solenoid and boost went right up, and hard on any gear. I cleaned out my solenoid and could it hear clicking when testing with a battery, so i believe it should work. Im a little worried that i would tune again (power fc and avcr) and find out the my avcr solenoid is stuffed. Anyways im taking it Tristian at wtf to do the tune this time, he should do a great job. Other than this the car runs perfect.

Grumpy: Cheers. I got it from MCS motorsports. Bit of complication with shipping but i got it for about $1200AUD to my door from memory. I think hehe. If your looking at one I would suggest getting one through mr2oc.com in vendor section, and getting it through Berk Technology(.com)

2 Seater: Nup. I got that power fc but the seller didnt know about AP engineering. So when i got it i noticed the sticker and hence sent it back and got my money back. Im looking for another one. Keepin my on auctions for a bargain. Once i get it I will get it tuned and dyno straight away and post up results.
