By saying it takes 30 minutes to open, do you mean it takes 30 minutes the warm up to running temp? That would indicate thermostat stuck open. -
Faulty thermostat?
-
I would just empty it, fill it with water, run for a couple minutes (until warm so the thermostat opens), then drain and fill with coolant.

Looking good. *taking notes*

Good on you Paul.

I thought it was going to be really difficult too but removing the dash really doesn't take that long. Is this going in your car?
-
No problem.

Ublock origin I have found is better nowadays, a couple months back adblock plus got bought out and now they don't block some ads, and I've never had an issue with ublock since.
-
I agree just go chrome, makes life so much easier and has adblock and stuff.

Good effort, fyi the carpet is ready to come out, just figuring how to get the heater matrix out without making a mess haha. Come and get it at your leisure.

In the future I will be looking at trying to source some Hoshino Impul RS 3 piece wheels:

Are the tail pipes resting on the bumper? personally they look slightly too far out but hey, it's your car matey, as long as they sound godly I can't complain :biggrin:.

Pretty sure its a biofuel. But anyway, it has a higher ethanol content than regular premium fuel, it produces a bigger bang however the optimum afr is different requiring more fuel per air than regular fuel, so injectors/fuel pump need to be upgraded to supply enough fuel. You also get quite bad mpg and as Craig said, some components need to be replaced to deal with it. it also has more knock resistance. If all you care about is power and have a fuel system to cope with it, you could buy it in barrels but it is expensive and you'd be sacrificing alot of mpg

It takes the ethanol content of the fuel, and adjusts the map's air fuel ratio (& timing I think?) to make the most power based on that fuel (still has to be tuned for it though). So if you fill up with a lower octane fuel such as regular unleaded, it will adjust the air fuel ratio and retard the timing so that 1. it doesn't detonate. 2. It has the correct air fuel ratio for most power based on that fuel. IMO if you fill up with generally the same petrol every time, and that is what your car is tuned on (say momentum 99), then it shouldn't change anything because you are always using the same octane fuel. But if you sometimes want to put an octane booster in there or fill up with crappy petrol if there are no petrol stations around it will still rin fine. Somebody can probably explain in more detail but that is it in a nutshell.

You can get some old looms from a breaker, but it would be just the same effort imo than to put a series 2 in.
-
Yes
-
I don't want to start an argument, but if you could want to get the series 2 for piece of mind. You can buy loom harness converters, or you can just wire them up yourself if you fancy it, or just keep the series 1 for a cheap fix.
-
Do you have a series 1 or 2 ptu. Might be a good opportunity to get the later style ptu.
-
Try cleaning the pins first.

Must be quite the eye catcher!
