195/50/15 AR-1's are a fair bit wider than a normal 195, I like them a lot but it takes a fair bit of effort to get heat in the rears in a FWD setup

lockwire?

[jasonp1977]

yeah, I must be lucky as I've not had a fuel pressure sensor fail yet, the one on my 2J was in service for 9 years, the one in my subaru has been there for 5 years daily driven (sensor in FPR bolted to...

in the fuel rail is where I plumbed the sensor on my 2J, on my other cars I plumbed the sensors into the FPR

where did you source the hardline?...

[jasonp1977]

Cant fit normal bolts in either, has to use stud and nut for the exhaust side fasteners. If I wanted to lock them instead of welding I'd use this kit: https://gcg.com.au/petrol-performanc...ock-kit-d...

anyone else had issues with dirt and grime getting into the loom with the braided sleeve?

I also used the penrite running in oil on my EJ257: https://penriteoil.com.au/products/1...15w-40-mineral

[jasonp1977]

I could, but welding doesn't worry me and wont have to ever worry about that issue again. The studs wound out from the flange with cone-locks still attached. With how difficult it is to get at the fasteners...

actually... did an inspection on the car this morning and found some casualties :D

Turbo to manifold hardware decided to depart at some stage and the resulting exhaust leak cooked a bunch...

Good day out at the track, nothing blew up, fun was had

Oil temps were getting a bit extreme on the national track layout, were a bit more reasonable on sprint and clubman. Have a bit...

not sure if you'll need to slot the cover and plates onto the getrag input shaft and then finish the installation through the bellhousing access ports after it's all installed. Can be a bit of a squeeze...

awesome, thanks. We've been working through a few different swirl revisions on a mates supercharged 2zz timeattack car
