ahhhh now i just feel like a dick laughing at the computer screen :lol:

try yelling at random objects coz ya just hurt yaself on them :)

took my fto for a drive again just before couldnt help myself. driving that car is better than sex. probably coz im not getting any lol but we wont go into that but i did some listening of the engine for the mivec change over on the cams and kept and eye on the RPM, now at 5,200rpm got the pop and note change but wasnt the one i keep hearing, the one im hearing starts between 4,500 amd 5,500 and its a poping exhaust noise sounds like a subby wrx with its balls cut off or a porche 911 turbo and it happens at random between the rpm and not every time so im guessing there would definatly be something wrong here, could be something as simple as a dodgy spark plug or connection coz when it happens im not getting and engine check light come on so yeah ill pull the intake off tomorrow and see what i can find
i was getting that type of noise in my gpvr when i fitted a de-cat pipe and with a hks dragger rear ex.the hks dragger does it.ill be getting rid of it. had to put cat back in for a while.
just might help its was happen in mine around 3500-4500 then went away after that.like a bad echo
