I have heard this ticking noise and as far as I can tell it seems to be coming from the head around the back on the intake side. the ticking gets faster with higher RPM and neo thinks it might get a little quieter when when the engine is warmed up (didnt leave it running too long when I was there... its broken enough as it it ) havent dropped the oil out of it, but what is left in the head (and all over me after playing) the oil seems pretty clean. not sure how old the oil is though. neo? spark plugs came out last night and dont look too bad I cant think of a way to describe the noise. to me its half way between a ticking and a knocking. its definately coming from towards the back of the engine though

that's a fairly big difference. once they get going the turbo easily puts some distance on the xr8 so I doubt it will have any problems taking it down the 1/4 *cough*bias*cough*

I think you need to take yours down the 1/4 and do better then 14.7... we know your car can do at least 14.1

yeah it seems to heat soak fairly easy with the stock cooler. at least that's what im blaming for the random cutting out after giving it a thrashing

yeah dunno what happened there. tried to shift to 3rd and you just left me for dead :/ the other runs I had you pretty much covered when my car was playing nice... stupid thing keeps cutting out when it gets a little warm

http://www.hptuners.com/order.php can someone confirm that all I need to tune my car myself is that $649 (~$1000 AUD) package? reason for the pro instead of standard is for the black box data logging. its about $770 for standard which still seems to be able to do all the tuning stuff

are you able to use the SCT tool (used to load the tunes onto the sct box) to put a tune on an SCT box that was made with VCM suite? would be handy to be able to use an existing xcal 2 box to change between some custom tunes made with VCM Suite.

cant remember exactly what its called but its something about MAP pressure or MAP absolute or something. pretty sure it reads in kpa too so you will need to convert it in your head if you want something useful

assuming work doesnt get in the way I should be keen for that. will see if I can do better then a 14.7 :D

do you know what speed it was? if its above 110k/sec not many people are gunna care :(

dont _need_ twins. you can run a single turbo on a v8, just means a lot of messing around with piping and ends up not being as efficient as twins... plus twin turbo v8 just sounds awesome

I think I see your problem good info there but the speedtouch 530 should be 10.0.0.138 and have no password by default 1300ish kbit is good. the line speed should be 1536kbit, giving you a download speed of 1536kbit minus TCP/IP overheads correct on the speeds. when taking overheads into account the most you will see when downloading will be 150-160ish kilobytes/sec incorrect on the distance to exchange bit. 1536kbit is 1536kbit no matter how long the line is. not so right on the 1.3mbit sync either if your line is provisioned on a Telstra Wholesale port then it is capable of syncing at 1536kbit. if you are not getting this (check your modem config for this, not your download speed) then your ISP needs to log a fault on your behalf. http://mirror.exetel.com.au/pub/adobe/AdbeRdr810_en_US.exe download that and see what speed it gets. that file is hosted by your ISP and so has the least amount of things that can slow you down because its on the same network. using a single threaded download client like Internet Explorer may not see full speed. if your not getting 150ish kB/s try a download manager to split the files into multiple parts. I use Flashget. good luck with the 1.5mbit. will be a world of difference coming form 256kbit :D

try PM Neo. he recently got his redone in Townsville and it came out pretty good. not sure who did it for him though

whats the normal way to go about repairing something like this on the cheap? would the auto box need a rebuild/replacement? how would you go about flushing the engine out to make sure there is no auto trans fluid still sitting in the engine? is it worth getting and after market radiator and trans cooler or should the stock one going back in handle it fine (for a stock car, just has a high flow cat but will probably get a tune before long)? is it worth getting a 2nd hand box or better off doing a rebuild? a mate had this happen recently and gets told a different thing by every 'mechanic' he talks to. as far as I know the car wont start and idle atm either.

+1 for the 9502 being a paper weight. my brother was having to reset his 5-10 times a day because of lock up ands stuff generally not working. the update is quick and painless though. I currently use an I-Mate JasJam and it goes pretty good. can do all your email stuff and the touch screen works fairly well. I recently loaded a custom rom onto mine and its much better to use then the stock rom. you hear a lot of bitching about Windows Mobile but after using it for a while I wouldnt even consider a nokia these days

that's not in a ford but from the few videos of them on youtube that seems to be what they look like. its a pitty... I was looking at one but that looks fairly terrible.

is that $1160 for front and rear pads and rotors? seems pretty cheap doesnt it?

yeah sucks when you got no one better to cruise with then neo in his auto the 3 of us are out a fair bit and always up for more people to come cruising

by different wheels you mean the center of the spokes sticks out on the mk2 and in on the mk1? I have a mk2 with the outy wheels but then a 2 mates with mk1s also have outy wheels. I believe both are 04. another mate has an 03 mk1 and has the iny wheels.

and your yet to show me up with more practice and shifting instead of leaving it in performance drive I reckon it could have hit 13s also dont under estimate the supra. with a decent driver a stock one shouldnt have much trouble hitting mid 13s. up the boost a little and he will give you a good run... can you tell my other car is a supra?

yep that's pretty much it. its a little embarasing to drive around next to. I would want to get my falcon fixed if it sounded like a Late model camira too :(

me and traction control arent the best of friends when TCS comes on the orange light on the dash will flash and it will sound like its missing

if you mainly after the tagging features of music match have a go at http://www.softartstudio.com/tagcontrol/ MM has been terrible since about version 7

the SCT Live Link software should do what you want. got a forum with some info here http://www.sctflash.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=76 this flash demo shows what you can do with it http://www.sctflash.com/docs/live_link_demo.htm I dont have an Xcal 2 myself but have done a bit of looking around and the Live Link software seems the go
