New CJ in SW Syd!

[Spewman]

Hey guys i recently purchased an effect grey ES with bodykit (looks like the same one preston motors sell).

Driving this car is a breath of fresh air considering ive been driving a 2L diesel kia pregio for the past 3 months , im happy with the lancer's modest performance (considering it's a 2L weighing around 1300kg)

I've been snooping around this site for a while now and ive got a decent idea of what i want to blow my pay on

Rims (prolly VRX or the ENKB/BBS from the evo x)

X factor leather
CF interior wrapping

Steering wheel leather wrapped
gear boot leather

Genuine Dash mat
" VRX wheel controls
" HVAC Carbon fibre panel accent
" Ralliart shoulder pads
" Boot liner

MOMO pedals
MOMO gear knob (if its a direct fit)

Short shift
drop in filter

Maybe an axle back if i get sick of road noise

Welcome to ClubCJ!!!

Nice shopping list you have there.

Chat to Chris at Concord Customs about getting the leather steering wheel and gear boot done, and I can vouch for the X-factor Leather (even if I only have half installed!!)

Thanks guys Ill be sure to have a look at those guys.

Cars are so evil lol. I figured if i bought a new car, i wouldnt want to touch anything lol. What a massive fail that was.

[LZY_EYE]

That never works.... the newer the car, the more expensive the mods are because you don't want to cheap out!!!

Welcome aboard, and having a new car means you are just pushing the boundries

[Spewman]

thanks peanut, that's a good way to think about it. Hey has anyone cracked the ECU for this car yet?

[LZY_EYE]

There is no cracking required.

RPW in WA are trying to develop some mail in maps but are having trouble getting R&D cars in Perth.

I have had my car in to a workshop in Sydney to have the ECU read. Just waiting to hear back if there is much he thinks he can do. It is not a cheap workshop though, so I will keep you posted. I probably wont have the funds to do a full tune for a while was just getting some info to start.

[Peanut]

One of our sponsers RPW is in process and i have been trying with mine as i have just started my cert 4 and have a tactrix cable to read the rom, i havent personally made any leaps and bounds but i dont know about RPW

[Spewman]

yeah thats def a con with new cars someone has to have the balls and the money to take a leap of faith, good on you guys for having a crack.

thanks for that lzy_eye, im interested in seeing how it all goes!

[LZY_EYE]

I will try give them a call tomorrow. The difference with these guys is that they don't do a standard tune, they do every car separate so it costs. So, it all comes down to how much he can get out of the car... I am very interested in fuel consumption too due to travelling 1000kms a week!!

Yeah i gotta be careful cause if i lock my ecu i am stuffed lol

[LZY_EYE]

I would never attempt it myself.... my luck would mean that I would certainly stuff it up!!

Have you got any more power out of it do you reckon yet peanut?
