    Haha yeah it goes alright!! Haven't driven yet with the motor in as the suspension is too low and will just destroy my tyres.. So I need to get that sorted with different springs till I can afford coilovers!!
    But cheers I'll look into those LCAs at Christie's

    Got some XT130 LCAs today.. Problem.. They don't fit.. They bolt into my cross member everything bolts to the .. Except my struts!! FML
    Problem being the stud/bolt in the middle is to high and won't allow the strut to sit even and bolt down...
    What to do? Any suggestions?

    so car is all set up ready to be rolled out of the car port and onto the front yard so i could do an oil change coolant flush etc etc...
    and bam ECU decides to fry it self.. many hours wer spent checking every wire and every connections and every ground and my voltage draws etc etc. still it wont play the game.. so after much cursing and angryness and yelling and taking my frustration out drinking beer...

    i am in the market for a new ECU.. time to get my research hat on again i guess.. whats good.. what are people using on similar engine setups.. by that i mean 4AGTE 16V, what do people recommend? where should i start looking?
    was thinking of looking at another microtech? whats similar that would do the same job if not better. the cars main use will be for a daily ride but i would like to do the occasional track day grip/drift and get in to motorkhana and generally just have some fun in the vehicle..

    suggestions.. GO!
