Just disconnect the battery whilst installing?
Remove the + and - terminals from the battery, and ensure that you're careful with the sensor from the intake.
Disconnect the battery and once installed let the car idle for 10-15 minsQuote:

Too hardcore? Saw a set of rims i want but 10" with low offset scares me :s
Is it even possible?
its possible, jamie ran 10" all around but it'll poke and all. 9" +22 will poke (rear) front wont if you got camber bolts.
Do you have any pictures of an 8th gen with +18 rears and +22 front?Quote:

I really want those rims because they're dirt cheap. Just dont want problems running them
or them being too wide. Dont want it to be overkill. Not Enough SWAG to go full stance like
those stanced cars in US and Japan
What specs are yours Jprak?
My bags have camber top . Might need bolts just Incase
Guard rolled for sure on rear
I'm running + 20 on rear
No pics man sorry
Specs
17x9.5 +20 all around
Camber top and bolt front
Natural rear
Rear guards rolled
Thats alright. 17x10+18 wont look much different right? I dont mind your poke.Quote:

Will poke another 1" since it's 10"
Clearance on coils I wouldn't have a clue sorry
*still waiting for my stance ivtec kicked in photo*
;-)
ohh? I thought all offset will look the same. the width is going inwards..Quote:

Why not Rota or something (srs)
Not taking the piss
Rota... those are the rep wheels right? See it on the sale threads on fb all the time.Quote:

Hi guys, so i got into a massive accident on Saturday 8th of Feb at Villawood on the corner of Woodville Road and Tangerine St. I was going towards Granville/Parramatta and it was green light for me. I saw a Volvo on the other side of the lane who was coming up to the intersection to turn right onto Tangerine St. Since it was green for me I knew it was okay for me to go, as soon as i was at the intersection the other idiot decided to turn. I couldn't break in time, and we collided. Biggest shock of my life as i blanked out for about 4-5 seconds.
When i came to there was smoke everywhere (most likely from the tyres) and my 7 week only puppy in the passenger seat flew forward. She was saved by her air bag but mine did not deploy. Most important thing was both sides of the party were not badly hurt (i had a couple bruises and a sore neck). We exchanged details (he was a green P plater) and i asked the other driver if he acknowledged that he was in the wrong, he nodded and replied "It was a red arrow for me but i thought you were going to stop."
He had 3 other friends in the car with him, the guy in his passenger seat had a bruised and bleeding nose due to his air bag being deployed. Firefighters were on the scene pretty much 2 mins later to control the traffic and remove our cars off the road, but police did not show up till 2 hours later. I did a statement with the police officer and overheard the other driver saying i ran a red light.. Anyway i was informed he will be issued with an infringement notice and a fine.
The rest is history but im pretty sure my baby is a write off.

Hey dude glad to hear you're ok - that's some damage there!
Sweet! I always wondered how the TE37 18x8 looked like on our FD. Able to indulge me with more pics of your ride, fitment with the wheels? and where were you able to source them?Quote:

Shit man, definitely is. I know the feeling when I got t-boned in my previous fd. Sad to hear but good to hear your alright man. Definitely get your neck checked out man, might suffered whiplash and it's effects could be a lot worse down the track in relation to a bigger problem involving your back. Just cover your ass with the douche trying to pull a fast one. You got any contact details of witnesses to back up your side?Quote:

Also it might be worth taking your dog off to the vet just to ensure he's alright and didn't suffer any injuries to himself.
glad to hear you're okay man, cars are just objects but losing a life is too much. saw the post on the fb forums and thought it was one of the ozhonda guys.Quote:

welcome, i've seen your car at hj's before with your mate as i saw both the cars at hjs, looking good man. anymore plans for it or no modding for now?Quote:

Good to hear, if you do part out the car. Shotgun badges? =P
Question:
17'' wheels on FD1 stock suspension, prob look abit too gappy.
would 18'' wheels make it look more flush? And I shouldn't need to roll guards or any mods ?
cant help if the wheels are too gappy, increasing size wont make a difference. only changing tyre size
https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...85757333_n.jpg
17x7 + 45
215/45 front
225/45 rear
Having flush wheels isnt about the rims height.Quote:

If you want to get rid of the wheel gap then you need higher profile tyres. Which is ugly. I'd rather wheel gap
Getting 18s with 215 or 225 on stock height wont have any problems.
Rolling guards is only if you have wide wheels. 18" with high offset is okay
Also depends on what you're going to do to the car in the future.
Alpine Type R speakers and dynamat on the doors in. Definitely need an amp, it's only slightly better than stock. Only had the dynamat done around the speakers. (my door lock, is kind of flimsy, its hard to open and close it.. not sure what happened there, maybe loose?)
Injen CAI in, no CEL. Quickly installed. Though, there's a vibrating noise coming from down where the air filter is. Not sure what's causing it. It's audible when the car is idling at the lights with the music off. Maybe vibrating off the fender?
What you guys think?
Hey guys, so just got a report back from a trusted family mechanic of mine, reinforcement bar has been bent, axles and chassis is also gone, so car is a definite write off. Ill let you guys know if im parting out soon.
As for my next car, tossing between a 2011 wrx hatch or 2010 mazda 3 mps. Thoughts?
wrx hatch looks good man go for that.
what parts are you parting out
could you try list them?
WRX Hatch for sure hands down :thumbsup:
Im not 100% sure if i can even part out so dont get your hopes up haha:Quote:

That's why a newish Rex would be perfect. It's kind of a 'soft' sports car and wouldn't brake the bank to fix/service.
I could be wrong tho

hi guys
do you know how to adjust damping on BC rear coilover?
thanks
If the coilover has the dampening knob, all you do is go to the boot, remove one screw that sits at the highest part of the boot lining. Then you just pull back and you will see the top of your coil. It takes less than 30secs to access the coils.Quote:

will be a few people coming down from other states (Jamie, Brent and some of their FilthyOnes) Brent and I are trying to organize Jamies FD and my FD for a photoshoot. If any of you boys have nothing to do and want to come out for a few photos and just to kick back talk about shit and get to know each other. Let me know so we can organize something.
Im thinking of going under the BolteBridge in Docklands but since 100mm is near Docklands people might be there and take up the good view. If anyone have any suggestions. Im all ears
Wooohoooo! I wish my car wasnt on stockies haha :(
I'm driving atm :) nearing Albury!
well I cracked it this week and boost has finally been wound up from 7 to 10 psi, no suprises on the dyno really, apart from the extra 25kw and 50nm atw now, 2nd gear wont hold traction no matter what the surface is. Power has now been more than doubled from the original 104kw, Eastern Creek next wed nite so a new pb is on the cards. Lets see how long the clutch last B-) !!!
Dyno plots pls stevil!
Is that a stock motor?
and does that mean you're pushing 208 kw atw o.0?
Curtis still the stock motor, yep my cars probably making around the 210kw and 360 nm at the crank, will put up the dyno chart later, pretty much gained 20kw + from 3 - 6000rpm, real suprise was how much torque is available at only 3,500rpm, how does 280nm atw sound ! lol.
to protect the motor I dropped the rev limiter another 100rpm and launch control is now set at 2,700rpm. Next phase is working out how to fit some 255/265 wide rubber up front !
far out you're smashing air into that engine!
What's your boost profile look like? MUst come on really early
yeah Curtis its got the full 10psi going on at around 3K, holds it till 5 ish then starts to taper off back to 7psi near redline. Unfortunately there arent any aftermakert IM thou a few custom ones have been built. Its a shame as this motor has alot going for it even thou it was designed for fuel economy. I may swap the T25 over to a T28 later in the year and see if I can get a few more ponies !!
Wait so you're using the stock IM? Isn't it plastic???!?
Whole thing's plastic, but impregnated with plutonium for added protection ! Lol
can you record some drive vid with a bit of WOT and stuffs pls stevil
