thanks mate, will go and see them this week. fibre glassing the sides will look great, i've always been a big fan of the lotus lights.

finally got around to removing my useless cat today, my car now sounds better, runs better & i no longer get a rattle from my exhaust

[Faceplant456]

removed the viscous fan and replaced with a thermo fan, only did 1 9" fan atm, if i get troubles with keeping it cool ill throw another one on.

also have the feeling my water pump is gonna die soon... mainly because i forcefully put a viscous fan on a FWD pump but also because its making some noise.

so sitting in maccas drive threw last night and watching my temp gauge rise was not fun. so i think a 2nd thermo is required. also painted the black line in my white line center piece black.

Just put a deposit down on a microtec LTX12 & hand controller.

microleb's are super easy to wire up, not long ago just done mine, although how come you bought a LTX12? apparently its just the same as the LTX10 but the 12 is for more like 6 cylinder motors etc.

well it was a fucking awesome price for one. im paying $1000 for it including the hand controller.

the main reasons were price, availability & cuz i cant get my engine to run right on standard management.

so the story behind this is, my mate bought a MK3 supra which had this microtec in it, then he needed blue slip and emissions and he wasnt able to get a good enough tune for emissions, so he decided to mod some more and get a haltec, so he offered this to me for $1000 and its like new, not a mark on it, comes with the hand controller and some loom bits. cant beat that, even if i just was to sell it i would be ahead.

I bought mine brand new from microtech for $1200, ltx10 with hand control and x4 igniter.

i would ask microtech how much it would cost to get a 4age base tune on the computer, mine runs pretty awesome for just having the base tune.

i know a guy around the corner from me who has a amallport running a microtec ltx10 ill see if i can get a copy of his one.

so earlier today i clicked a traffic island with my front wheel, and straight after i got a clunking sound like a balljoint was fucked, so after a closer inspection and driving it for about 30km i realised that the strut has snapped/ stripped the nut off the top of it... so i just drove 30km with my drivers front strut floating around in the wheel arch ... it was a good thing i was babying it. ill have to fix this asap.
