Hey Jake, Welcome to the forum!
I like your car dude, very neat indeed!
You will need to flip your AFM 180 degrees, it's the chunk of crap with the electrical plug in between your ram pod and turbo intake.

Welcome the the club man

[Jakeee]

Thanks for the welcome guys.
The AFM will be flipped back the right way tonight when karl and I give it a tune, shes been running a bit rich. But so far i've had the car since saturday and have allready fallen in love with it. I used to own a VN (no i wasn't a typical P plater commo Driver) and this lil thing just keeps making me smile everytime i drive it, unlike my old boat.

Running rich due to the AFM no doubt.

ETS are aus only not from japan only the drivetrain and electrics imported(thats not a RRC engine just teh manifold ). i would say thats not a full ET as the aerial is on the side not the centre but with all the ET stuff on it its basically the same car. but anyway again the car looks hot !!
