Snort Stage 2 kit and EMS 8860
Slotted rotors all-round
Billet Products shifter for T5
Secret cosmetic mod to my front bar
Suspension revision overall
Engineering Cert's for the above
Replace my tint after a recent canary ...f'kin PITA oinks

Classic AU - Boost is boost ...and a Raptor is a good choice for a decent kick in the pants.

by **EF ECTIV** » May 10th, 2008, 1:19 pm

why you going with the EMS mark? Don't you already have the switch chip in?

Anyway...planned mods....

custom leather interior
Look at new 20s (maybe)
dvd player/screen or two....

by **markr154** » May 10th, 2008, 2:18 pm

Yeah Matt, I have the chip ...but Jamie will be doing my install, and he insists that the EMS will be better for running boost.

"With boost, you need to remove ignition timing as boost rises, the stock ecu, and the eliminator do the opposite, they run advanced timing, to optimise power output N/A. An EMS stinger or 8860 will be an ideal option"

by **EF ECTIV** » May 10th, 2008, 2:30 pm

yeh fair enough..... Seems a waste though, especially since you've already got the chip.... Each to there own though.

since when has that stopped mark before lol.

planned mods for me are:

get a tune (hopefully within next 2 weeks)
brakes
suspension

then later down the track:
new stezza
rims
bigger turbo :S

by **markr154** » May 10th, 2008, 3:00 pm

Fark yas ...haha

Look at it this way, if I'm going the whole hog I might as well have some versatility built into it ...and have the ability to tweak the tune via laptop.

The EMS 8860 has an auto set-up feature that gets the tune pretty close from the first start-up, so it can be fine tuned from there. Jamie is very familiar with these ECU's. And besides, quite a few shops in Perth can tune them ...I'm really just leaving it up to him.

And I think we can safely assume that the Eliminator Chip will not last 5 seconds if I put it up for sale

Since the rebuilding of my intake and fuel system a 12:1 reg is my next planned mod to go with my new found 10psi + (I say + because I have been backing off when it heads north of 10 psi) the 12:1 will just be to get me by for powercruise until a proper computer goes in with the new turbo gear later this year/next year.

Spool? For a daily driver Dan, you serious? That would make it a pig wouldn't it?

by **Dansedgli** » August 15th, 2008, 11:55 am

Nah she'll be right.

Its not like Im driving to shopping centre carparks with it or trying to negotiate peak hour traffic. It goes to the station and back when there is no traffic and does the odd weekend trip to the GF's house.

If its no good Ill just take it out and do something else.

by **Dezza** » August 15th, 2008, 4:19 pm

Planned mods for mine:
- Tint the windows
- Paint another set of side moulds, and redo rear bumper
- Save up for a BA

I've done most of what I want to do with the EA. I'll keep driving it as is until the 3.9 dies. Then I might chuck an AU engine in but I'm in no hurry to do that.
