Car Wont Do Anything!
Joey Thorne replied to Joey Thorne's topic in Engine Management & Fuel Systems
Awsome that seems alot better ! Does it only plug into the white pin connector n the aerial jack? -
hey guys so in my normal style I started off doing somthing I knew nothing about! its all apart of my style what I was doing was removing the icc so I could install some gauges I just jumped straight into it didnt bother to disconnect the battery rookie mistake! any how, half way thru the alarm starting going off and I figured it was time to disconnect the battery so I did, I finshed what I had to do and now when it came to starting my car it wouldnt start at all , I would turn the key to acc n all the lights were on but wouldnt start, the raido read "code error", and from what I have read it just takes half an hour or so to go back to normal as it is the origanal unit so no code is needed, but my issue now is the car wont do anything at all it dead nothing happens when the key is any position , Im thinking its prob fuses or relays, I relize I will have to take it some where but is there any trouble shooting tips you guys have befor I get it towed, just to make you all laught the sun roof is open n garage is full! im off to k-mart to by a garden shade haha... any help would be great!

Joey Thorne replied to SweetXR's topic in Forced Induction Workshop
rad, thanks mate! -
So last night I decided I would install the monza cooler I brought, turns out im a complete spazz and still havent finshed it, I should stick to my trade!, I have a few questions 1. it looks like it sits really low I havnt put the bumper on yet but I think it will hang lower is this normal? "my car isnt lowered" 2. the brakets seems to be ok but not 100% in-line is this right? 3. The cooler is nearly hard against the radiator is this ok?

Planning To Buy A Ba Mkii Xr6 Turbo... Need Some Advice Please!
Joey Thorne replied to MAXout's topic in XR6 Turbo
far out I have been scared out of owning my turbo after reading all that can go wrong, I ony find comfort in the fact that I brought it from a car yard and paid alittle extra for 3 year unlimited warranty on everything except the sunroof which only works half the time. I also only wanted manual and that's what I got which I now wish I hadnt after driving my brothers auto xr6t in manual mode it feels much quicker even thou on paper its not! Any ways back to my point buy from a car yard you may pay alittle more but you have someone to blame when things go bad, you will have much more luck yelling at a car sales man than someone off the street.... -
Im going to come down to your shop prob next week on a day to talk about some work I want to book in for, if that's ok I will pick your mind about gear boxs too.
-
so what should I do? I want to get 300rwkw what would be a good box to put in it?

Who Is Running A Custom Made Cai?
Joey Thorne replied to Joey Thorne's topic in Engine Management & Fuel Systems
its for my ba, who ever owned my car befor me has put a SS induction kit on the one with the large intake over the radiator n cut it back so its a huge hole looks sh*t and also seems to get really dusty, so am I better off making a box to suit a pod filter or the rectangle filter? -
Who Is Running A Custom Made Cai?
Joey Thorne replied to Joey Thorne's topic in Engine Management & Fuel Systems
did you notice a diffrence with the ower intake installed? -
I have been looking at a heap of diffrent CAI and there pretty $$$ for somthing I could make myself in my factory, so my question is , Is anyone running a custome made CAI and willing to give me some design tips?I was pretty much going to copy the ss growler just increase the size alittle bit more. Or am I just better off not being a tight ass and buying one? thanks

I train 6 days a week, Monday to thursday is weights, I train heavy to fail with good form, if I can only do 5 reps I make sure there all perfect and the other days are cardio but very light work outs at that... dude you have the size to just shape out some good results, I found out the hard way that you can work out as much as you want but if your not doing it properly there is no point, buy the arnold schwarzenegger encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding. Its great, it teachs you a heap of tricks like after finshing a set flex and squeeze the muscle you have just worked to increase blood flow to the area which will make you grow better! also you can have too much protien so diet is improtian, inbox me if you wanna know more, I can only tell you what works for me mate. im also studying cert3 in person training at the aus fitness institute just for somthing to do, more than willing to help...

Im currently trying to think of an excuse to go for a drive to check the fuel consumption with out my gf getting mad! Fuel was shocking compared to my monaro "yes a Holden" but I have been thinking could it be possible that my car is running rough because I only just got it and I know the BOV was removed and returned to stock to get a road worthy n then switched back so could the computer be effecting this?
