Gave the Ign modle a bit of a polish, its ready for testing once I get the FoamECU&Tune which SHOULD be here today! I finished my CAI connection to the airbox lastnight, it consists of 90% duct tape HAHAHA, thats how I held the 2 parts of the airbox together and duct taped the Tube into the box.

...**** I hate ****ing Holden, I gave them a whole week to get 2 ****ing parts. They got a 1 wire sensor, I specifically asked for FOUR WIRES! MAT sensor hasnt even made Brisbane yet, ****ing useless tards. Hopefully I can get a Mat sensor from Autopro Expressed up for TMR. Im so ****ing ****ed right now.

Relax man,

You think Holden is bad, try Suzuki.

I went an ordered a ****load of accessories off them, I gave the parts interpreter woman the part numbers off the Suzuki website and told her I had the current shape.

She ordered the whole lot for the old shape. Not once but twice! That meant going back and forth over a period of 4 weeks to find out the parts were wrong.

I told the useless bitch that she can cancel my order unless they give me a big discount.

5 mins later some dude is on the phone, apologising and promising that they will do me a deal for getting stuffed around. We'll see hehehe.

Atleast they apologised man, all the guy did was look at me stupidly like I made the mistake. People at Holden think they know everything, they know jack squat. I have a MAT coming up TMR via Autopro, thank god for Autopro! Looks like im using my old O2 sensor, still waiting ro the ECU and TUNE, the two most vital parts. Fingers Crossed.


EDIT: AutoPro are the GODS, the guy can get me a 4 wire o2 sensor and Mat sensor by Tomorrow! SCORE!!! Repco fails, Autopro is my favourte now!
*takes a deep breath*

Good stuff.

I have found I can get stuff done more quickly through the Toyota dealer I bought my car from, than actually going direct to Suzuki.

Figure that one out!

Well the plan was to stay at Torbul/Dony for Friday night and leave Sat morning about 8am, but Im not sure of my GF has arranged for us to stay in Brisbane so she can catch up with a friend. But I will update this thread to what Im doing 180SC, ill let you know mate!

P.S. Just got off the phone with a guy from Autopro, they rang the company in Bris that do the O2 sensors and they dont have any in stock (wtf) so I cant get one of those by tmr, they have the 4 wire with no connector but are $160 Go figure, the one with no connector is $70 more then the one with the connector ($90) so looks like Im going to run my old one.

Master, lets burn car dealers


EDIT: THE ECU CAME WITH MY FOAMTUNE, DRAGS ARE ALL SYSTEMS GO!!! HOOORAY. THANKS FOAMINATOR.

I put your ECU in and its not reading any codes? Not even a Mat sensor one, im still going to replace the MAT tomorrow though. The car runs good, solid wheelspin off the mark and into 2nd. The Ignition module I got from RVN has got shock factor, when I put my finger on the transistor and my other finger on a ground point it zaps me good, my originals one dosnt zap me much, very very minimal compared to the module from RVN , so ive put my old MDLE back in now, and tweeked a few things. I am leaving tomorrow night for torbul and be leaving Torbul at about 8am and hit the Bruce about 8:30am.
