  1. F6 is back on the road. Have done aprox 150km and initial thoughts on the air/oil cooler aren't great. I need to give the trans a little time to settle down but most notable is a clunk as it upshits when coming off a hard throttle input. Next week I'll get some decent logs to determine what sort of temp the trans is operating at and if it needs any adjustments in the tune for a (potentially) lower temp. My main concern is I don't believe there is any ambient air temp compensation in the trans calibration. So if it shifts nice with operating temps in the mid 50/60's in the 30deg ambient what's it going to be like when the ambient temps are single figures and trans temps are in the 40's?
  2. Drove the F6 for a first time in a long time. Forgot how quick it is.
  3. Turbo territory transfer cases hate him.
  4. Essentially it relinks the key/bem and PCM. Try leaving the key on for an hour or so, until "Code" is no longer displayed on the Screen then try it.
  5. leave the key on for an hour or so. But if you have swapped the ign and bem you may need a pats relearn.
  6. Shiny and booze comes out of it. Whats not to like?
  7. You may have triggered the security system by hot wiring the starter? Is the Smart Lock Hand flashing on the dash?

  10. Heart goes out to you and your family Stripes. Remember people if you're able to donate blood (especially plasma and platelets) do it as they are an essential requirement in treating most cancer patients. So take your'e "fuck cancer" energy and direct it to donating blood.
  11. congrats!
  12. It's a throw back to the days when oil pumps wouldn't prime without a full filter. Totally unnecessary and not recommended due the risk of contaminating the clean filter. the oil filter on these motors doesn't see full engine oil flow so even with an empty filter on start up the important spinning bits are still coated in the important slippery wet stuff.
