I'm going to try the fake timber arm rest pieces (where the power window buttons are) this weekend - fingers crossed it comes up like the one I saw (except for my two left hands doing it!! lol) and I'll bang up some photos straight after. Got the roll of vinyl yesterday and it looks fantastic!!Quote:

usually anti slip tape is the go isn't it ?.
1 Sunday out and about, unfortunately got stuck, get the trusty winch cable, mud in the boots.
go to get back in and big endo landing on ya backside slippen on that smooooooooth stuff, get a vid of that for us pls, lol.
True mate, there not really steps as such though, and the vinyl will be no more slippery than the current powdercoat I figure - that said, I'm not sold on it, just a thought ... I think checker plate would be more the go ...Quote:

Bit by excruciating bit, it's coming together!!! Two more sleeps till dyno and fingers crossed, I have my rig back on Friday night!!!! I'm beside myself with anticipation!!!!
yeh I don't think they make a plate for suspension here either, I assume you have gotten it engineered for the lift for it 2 be compliant...... How much did that set you back?????Quote:

I don't have the opportunity of not liking tapacrap as I own a Nokiacrap which does't allow me 2 use tapacrap, man that is just so crap!Quote:

Yep, you guessed it, starter motor!!!
Getting a new one tomorrow ...
Not humorous anymore ...
You can buy my GQ if your currently looking for a new oneQuote:

Should make a difference when it finally comes home and I can give it a bit to test it out further.
One thing i found when tuning is that ngk plugs crap out with rich fuel mixtures quite easily.
I haven't read your whole thread but i thought i seen something about an aftermarket ecu.
Can i ask why you didn't go with the factory ecu and nistune.
You got it mate - NGK and rich mix and they were black as a bats butt!!!Quote:

Not saying they don't exist, and to be honest know not much of Nistune, but general consensus from people in the industry (who have no vested interest as I didn't get it through them) is that the Wolf v500 is the ducks guts for high performance tuning ...
oooooohh yeah! i am converted!!! Sooooooo good!!Quote:

Once tuned ngk plugs are ok i usually throw bosch in just to save the trouble atleast they recover on their own.
Heres some info on the nistune http://www.nistune.com/ basically turns your factory ecu into something you can live tune with.
I found factory ecu's have more functions suitable to the individual vechile more offsets and function tables for cold starts and drivability .
Where as most of the aftermarket jobs tend to be ok if you want a 1/4 mile race car.
I found most tuners will throw a car on the dyno tune it under full throttle conditions and say job done screw the drivability.
i can only guess what it would feel like to drive one of those boxs with tanks power (i know its there, just needs to be awakened)
Awakened indeed mate!! That's my hope ... when it actually runs for more than a few minutes!!! lmaoQuote:

Note: This only works if you buy a daughter board to run along side your factory ECU which cost $420.00 + the price of a PLMS consult cable to connect the laptop to your vehicle.Quote:
