Thanks!! New things will arrive this next week

Yes!! I can entry to my garage without slicing my car in two parts now LOL It was frustating to install parts and doesn’t fit the way you want, thats an advice for people that are planing to purchase 4” Whifbitz catback, you need to fab this bracket as a MUST!

Problem solved, two things done, raise the suspension of the car 1cm in the front and 1.5cm in the rears, and fabricating a new bracket for the center part of the exhaust to lift it, I purchased a clamp that rounds the exhaust and use it as a holder, now its perfect!

Oh!! Its incredible to see projects after that kind of time, some people lose their paths into their projects. Congrats, great to see other attention to detail and restoration in our cars, enjoy her!!

I will analize all the options on wednesday, I will take the welding machine and try to replan the exhaust position.

In my case is different because the KW use OEM Struts, and the have a metal purple spacer that you see in the picture :S

I think that with the KW I need to modify the top of the coilover because of the form of it, what coilovers you have?

Yes I know about this, but I don’t like to modify my KW, this week I will lift the car, and think about how to solve this problem haha

Yes Pete! I know that maybe raising 2 cm the suspension and trying to lift a little bit the exhaust in the center part, maybe fabricating a new support in the center part or something it will improve the situation. Because the ground clearance its unacceptable right now, it stucks everywhere. I said HKS Carbon Ti because its 3.75” exhauts and it goes thru the OEM exhaust path.

FullSizeRender.mov After testing the car today, everything works fine, and the car boost just turned up because of the full decat. But huge problem on drivability. My car is so low and the 4” whifbitz catback its so low mount, the V-band clamp its 5cm to 8cm height to the asphalt. So not funny at all, a lot of scrapes. Thinking about what to do, new catback, modify the Whifbitz one, HKS carbon Ti, don’t know FullSizeRender.mov

Thanks for always supporting Pete! A lot of time and work always!! But Its what we like at the end haha Soon I will receive the Link ECU and a bunch of OEM Parts to respray the full car Sooooo a lot of progress to post here!!

Everything done today! I think that my #2 Turbo oil seal its damaged, a little blue smoke coming out of the exhaust when you pull the pedal after idle. Oil change, spark plugs changed, and the smoke stops, maybe the previous oil density was really low. I will check but anyways, single turbo time its coming hahaha Also new front lip!!

Car is fully legalized in Spain Today we install the FMIC, Exhaust, intake! And tomorrow we will finish all the details, PS refrigeration lines, oil change, spark plugs, purchase some more reinforced clamps, because the ones included in the whifbitz kit are crazy chinese hahaha...

Everything found!! Thanks guys

Exciting news! Car will be totally legal in Spain on Wednesday. I ordered a Link G4X ECU with adaptor harness for stock wiring to fit it in my actual non vvti engine. (Didn’t go with the Plug and play ECU Because its not really compatible with my future VVTI engine plans) Ready to be tuned by the best tuner in Spain GMC Sport to do a BPU+ setting and restore my confidence in tuners after my previous bad experiences, after this and in a few months, the single project will start, and go @Luxluc way VVTI Euro Spec I will keep you updated since everything arrives.

I picked up directly from Real ST, the BC Springs with billet lockers, Titanium dress up bolts, and RPS Twin Clutch

Today I receive two little things, BC Springs with Billet valve lockers, and the dress up bolts in Titanium to change the look of the engine in a few weeks

Thanks man, always want to be supportive with other people that could face the same problems like me!

Really strange problem come out for the Sup after the conversion, the car performs a false rev limiter at 6000 rpm , also doesn’t hold the idle when approach to an stop signal, and the turbos dont spool properly, after breaking my f***ing head, this is an intermitent failure, because sometime it goes over 6000rpm and the car go fast, turbos spool, etc... After some search I found an old post, that relates the problem to the ODO input signal from VSS that makes the ECU thinks that the car is at idle and not moving. So easy fix, but hard to find the solution. 10 minutes fix, and hope that could help anyone, after Error 42 display in the code read, you should splice two wires in your ODO connector, and everything goes back to normal. I attached a sample picture that I found in the New Zealand forum, this is basically what I do, but I unpinned the pink wire from the conector and join it together in to the blue pin, because I don’t like to cut wires in the wiring loom. The ODO still works perfectly after this mod, its only to send the info directly from the VSS to the ECU bypassing the ODO signal filter

Thanks Annabella!

Today I test drive the car and start the break in process of the clutch 500km or something because the car is stock and absolutely its a joke of power for this clutch capabilities hahaha Some pictures of today.

Thanks Brad, your propshaft works well!! Hahaha you are part of this work also

Thanks man!! And no, Im not from Austria but understand German hahaha, Im from Spain!

Yesssss, hard work but it worth it!! The car feels sooooo different now. Hopefully next week I will have all the paperwork done
