sp20 in Brissy

diepumpkin · 09-01-2013, 12:07 AM

Hi everyone
My name is scott and ive already met afew of you, phil who is helping me with my fs-ze engine (hi phil) and dan who i'm about to buy some gear from.

I'm a proud owner of a silver BJII-J48 protege sp20 which at the moment is not running lol hence the fs-ze being shipped to me.

The car is already lowered with improved suspension and sports exhaust system with extractors.
(don't know what brands done before i bought it!)

Besides the engine replacment im not sure what i plan to do yet as i'll have a few grand left after the engine goes in.
my thoughts so far have been
* air intake but having trouble finding a shop in brisbane that can help in this regard.
* gear box service (second and third gear are a little clunky)
* rear strut brace
* new steering wheel since mine started falling apart at 3 and 9 on the wheel
(thanks to dan i will have a nardi wheel and mazdaspeed gear knob)
* front bumper fixed as some bugger hit my front in a car park grrr
aaaaand i have no idea what else lol (but i'm open to suggestions)

when the engine arrives ill start posting pics as i go

sorry for the long post!........... and spelling mistakes lol

Hi and welcome to AGT
Nice to see that you have finally posted up here and am looking forward to catching up at a future meet.
We seem to have very frequent meets in Brisneyland so I am sure there will be something to suit you.
Your motor must be between Christchurch and here by now!

maz sp20 · 09-01-2013, 12:37 PM

I think you guys should start a FS-ZE Club and get some stickers made up

im not sure at them moment its a choice between fs-ze ecu or just get my ecu remapped if its possible! either way it will need a dyno tune .

thanks for the welcomes everybody, and would you believe phil that the crate has only just arrived to the shop so my engine hasn't even been picked up yet :-(

Clean_Cookie · 09-01-2013, 10:06 PM

not able to reflash these ecu's, best to chase that fsze. it will run fine on the stock ecu however.

diepumpkin · 09-01-2013, 10:11 PM

yeah fill said the current ecu is ok just a touch more power in the fsze.
the ecu wasn't my main worry at the moment id like a custom box intake and have no idea where to get one in brissy and what are my options on the gear box.

diepumpkin · 09-01-2013, 10:11 PM

ops phil* i can't even blame auto correct lol
