Welcome to tocau :) nice looking stivo

[Kenshin X]

Im hoping the owner will get the car ready for my by tuesday or wednesday and i can orgnanise insurance so i can cruise down to Winton. I was really suprised at how quickly I'd come accross a sportivo and Im not kicking myself about having a car ready for the May track day. I want to do some mild bang for buck mods on it before tracking it in October.

The closest the sportivo will at this track day is in the visitors car park =] and im happy with that ..

see you at winton on sunday :) and the track in october

also WELCOME to the forums :D

Nice one. Winton Time attack FTW!

[dezzymun]

I got home from work, only worked 1.5hrs in the phone room cause i wanted to get home, eat dinner and pick up the stivo. So I thought.. I was typing up a contract and saw that there was spelling error on the cheque my Dad got printed from the bank. I didn't think it was a problem until i called the seller. We spoke about the issue for over 10 minutes and I was so eager to pick up the car tonight I didnt want to give in that i couldn't have it =[.

FKN 1doit stup1d wh0r3 bank teller spelt the seller's name wrong >.<!! I want to stand in front of that bank teller and throw coins in their face.FKN SPEWING!. At least I don't have to wait another 24 hours..

[dorifto]

It's proven that red corolla's go faster around the race-tracks :P

Good luck with the Winton target time, it'll be doable with a few mods. I think Guni (03 Sportivo) is going around in the 1.51 region on semi slicks. I got a coupla' seconds on him haha

[dezzymun]

Dorifto : thanks mate, i think 1:46 is doable because its red hehehe.. But seriously i think with time and consistency its achievable. Hopefully it doesn't take me too long to catch up to Guni =]

[dezzymun]

So why did I call it TinTin?

Heres why

So while at work I decided to lower the car.. Heres how I did it for free

Before:

After I loaded 20 odd boxes of survey material:

[dezzymun]

I've been doing to some diy slowly here and there and was wondering if anyone can help me..

I've got a techtom cm100, its a digital temp gauge with an OBD2 sensor for a nissan and am hoping to hook it up to my stivo

I've done some cutting of the techtom and haven't started rewiring to my car yet.

Does anyone know which wires i need to connect?

Here are some pics:

OBD2 plug

Behind the glove box.. wire roulette

The brown wires weren't even connected to anything in the first place.. :S

[dezzymun]
