I think those wheels were on the car when Justin got it. I am almost certain he has a pic or two.

Got my wideband in today which was a bit of a mission but luckily had someone who knew exactly what they were doing, and knew how to do a good job (i.e. not ghetto-rig like I do with everything). I have to learn the "do it once, do it right" mentality. Wideband results: well I haven't looked at it much when driving yet as it's not fitted where I want on the dash, but at idle I'm at 10.9! That's like your standard Okinawa tune(!), or rather what happens when you get 12V to your fuel pump and not 9, and when you've bypassed the fuel resistor relay. Picking up an old skool 5-knob SAFC to do a bit of basic fuelling tuning to it in the next week or so.

So that's the good. On the bad side the cursed FC continues to throw up more issues than an emo teen. I found today my clutch is slipping when at WOT. No burning smell but it's undoubtedly slipping. Think I'll replace with a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch; they're well priced and I loved the same clutch when it was in my Evo. Am a big advocate of brand loyalty.
