Figured out how to reprogram the EEPROM for the odometer. Can set it to anything.

And it was perfect nothing f**king leaked!!! And everything worked!!!!! \o/

Had a mad moment and bought a rear reflector for silly money... AUD$350. 2 years ago I scoffed at the high price someone was willing to pay and that was only AUD$250!!

We'll allow it since it wasn't $2000 on a stainless cat-back exhaust. :lol:

Had a new Link G4+, and a wide-band sensor/gauge arrive for the RA this week.
Put the fire extinguisher into it as well.

Progress on the FTO:

None :(

Took an angle grinder to the turbo and wrapped it with a turbo blanket.

Nice!
They make a surprisingly large difference!

I threw my wide band into the legacy last night, have to redo it tonight though, as the weld isn't sealed fully :(
