That's no good Ed - you're going to have to flaunt yourself to the highest paying chicks at this rate ! :lol:

Not too far from the truth! I was thinking about taking on a bit of photography on the side to try and get more regular work. Covering all angles and all that. Who knows, there may be some hot girls out there that want some head shots lol.

Charge people for front end conversions lol

and next time I'd be able to do it faster and better than I did mine. Good learning experience it was . Get Stu in on it too and we'll be dishing them out!

He is travelling a huge distance with a bar to put on the stand.

Major credit due to him.

A bit of nostalgia for me here. Found my first photoshop I did back in August 2007. So before I bought the car and way before I knew about Australian N16s.

It's come a long way baby .

Question at idle common rail diesels even older in line diesels run very very lean. How do you get round this without the engine revving up as a result?

The ECU controls it...?

Ed,

After being taken out by you you've re-enforced my thoughts that the N16 is a more neutral handling car than the N15. I thought it before, but wasn't sure if the characteristics of the N15 was down to the extra power the GTi has. Your YD22 has similar power to a standard GTi and loads more torques so was a good comparison. The rear is so much more planted.

It made me want an N16 again :'(

I think I'll be giving those tyres of yours a bash next time round as well as the performance in the wet was immense!

Fancy buying it back Steven?

Once it's turbo'd / supercharged or has an SR20 dropped in it - maybe.

For the moment, no.

Drop a QG18DES in there (There you go Paul, that's what engine you have now ).

Steve, the little red fooker has just set me back over £200 for 2 new rear dampers for the K Sports becase they were leaking all over, and I gotta wait 4 weeks for delivery of them lol!!

Saying that like next month its in the spray shop, then I promise I'll post up some pics for ya. Sorry for the hijack Edk.

[edk]

No worries Mick. Interested in hearing all about it. Those K-Sports are worrying. Keep an eye on them next time because they're likely to corrode. You sure Steven didnt warn you about them?! :lol:

The ECU controls it...?

in turn what does the ecu do to even out the air/fuel ratio at idle?
