Leaf Sprung Fun
Posted by on January 6, 2012
Smokey the bandit wagon has had a few mods done over the last few weeks.
Chiefly consisting of a new rear end set-up
50mm lowering blocks a flipped leaf plus an extra one.
It has also copped some near new Excell G shocks.
However as you can see the 15×7.5 -7 wheels are smashing into the guards a bit
So the hunt is on for some stiffer rear shocks

Happy new year people, whats been going on with my car you may ask?
Well its been absent from a track day now for over a year which makes me very sad.
Realistically this has been caused mostly by a bad wiring job and in-effective engine management system.
The worst part of that above statement is that I paid someone to do it
So because i enjoy car wiring so much ( Lol Jokes )
Ive started again from scratch with an OEM AE111 loom and manual ECU.
I often hear people comlplaining about about poor drivability on cold start
and from heavy fuel use with some aftermarket ecu’s
One thing i have noticed that my car needs half a dozen more sensors that the aftermarket unit didn’t.
Its no wonder why some after market units perform poorly
Although this has been a real set back for me I know that its the right decision;
long term for the car and its reliability
So for those playing at home its
the third wiring harness and second ECU for the car.
See you soon 🙂
