New pistons, liners, bearings, chain kit? Or some other secret squirrel bits as well?

Simple as that eh....? ;) :lol: I've located the latest firmware revision but I can't find the update utility, don't suppose you could pop a link up could you fella...? I can see the USB drivers, is that what you mean...?


The "Upgrader" application may well be installed with the drivers. Can't remember when it got installed on my machine but it lives within the Utilities application folder under the PerformanceBox folder, alongside the shitty old PerformanceTools application (i.e. not Circuit Tools), so might have been part of that install.

IIRC it installs as part of Performance tools. If not I can send you the install file.


ETA - beaten by the Techmeister :)

I cant imagine there's liners involved. Thats a 1k job on its own! Block paint would make the outside look nice :poke:

Some tweaks are quite involved, but are hidden inside the engine never to be seen :(

I doubt it will affect the performance of the car to that extent Joe, I am just trying something new and untested on these Stage 3 SC conversions. Time will tell if it will be of benefit.

So, got a clear day on the car today so refitted all the front suspension with powder coated arms and hubs, new bearings, new ball joints, new bushes and all new nuts and bolts.

Got the AP calipers on and fitted up the hoses. Got her back on her wheels, spun her round and fitted the rear calipers as well. Just need a new solid brake pipe and I can get the brakes finished off. Have my pads on order and I reckon it will be OK on the brakes.

Need to get the gearbox dealt with and collect my engine from Vocky and that can all go in. Then it is away for the roll cage fitting and the serious work is done.
