i saw yates AE86 in detail many times over years, believe me it wasnt until Bates got involved did it really become a super neat and functional thing. his new 86 is just as stupidly clean and functional too, and i hate him for it. oil pump and idler set is a nice and simple way to do it mate...

get rid of that copper piping ASAP.

pretty much the plan Eddie, another mate did this and got around it. thats why i asked the specific emissions control the MAP sensor does and watched him fumble around to answer it. and it is bureaucratic crap that decides it, even in the same bureaucratic fucking branch. the noise section and...

looking good timmeh, ill chat to on FB about it later on

ok so update time: do noise test, passes by skin of my teeth with a 90.5. BUT just because i passed that doesnt make it that easy. i now need to return with a MAP sensor fitted, O2 sensor fitted, and airbox for ITBs with the PCV connected to that and then i will pass... 2 steps forward, 1 step...

and further fuck you and kick in the nuts: car will have to pass a noise test as well as an emission test. fucking yay. car will have its registration cancelled this coming monday as the defects have not been cleared. and even if i do clear the defects, it will still be cancelled anyway until...

yeah eddie probably gonna chuck in about 5ltrs of E85 to a full tank of 98 to clean it up a bit and see how it goes

my life right now: so coming home 2 weekends ago, less than 1km from house, i was directed to an RMS inspection station to be defected. awesome. both officers were arseclowns, RMS guys was pretty good. reasons for cops being arseclowns: stopping in the MIDDLE OF A ROUND ABOUT WITH RIGHT OF...
