i lost my licence 28th of july. but the suspension of licence only took place 4 weeks later which was end of august. therefore i will get it back end of september
yes, i was speeding on the eastern freeway and doing crazy speeds until i sensed cops in the area and slowed but still got nabbed doing 28 over the limit. Which is actually quite lucky becos if it was over 30 then i would have 6 months loss of licence

Is it the angle of the pic, because your DC5R sit higher then the FTO and Type R are well know for their firmer ride, so i would of expect it to be lower.
If not then the spring rate on Type R must be ultra hard.

ill be getting putting some 17s on it soon, and will see if it'll affect the ride quality too.

yeah took the day off work, pulled a lot of things out and checked things like fuel pressure etc...nothing was wrong. We changed a few bits in the map and that started to fix it up...looks like the stock ecu is farked for some reason...never fear cos I have PowerFC just waiting to go in with new injectors and a AVCR...will be sweet by next week.rnbboi wrote:yep, thanks to chris's stock air boxkhunjeng wrote:thanks to me an my stock air box which wasn't even checkedrnbboi wrote:Car is sold guys...
