    Onya Willie........ Thai's got his hatch hinge which should please his parents no end woop woop :cheers

    And I quote this.........

    This is Bee*R’s popular two-stage ignition cutting rev-limiter. It is used to prevent damage arising from over-revving your engine. Part of the reason for its popularity is the large flames and loud bangs it produces from the exhaust when active!

    The way in which it works differs from the factory rev limiter in that it is an ignition cut, as opposed to a fuel cut. The reason for this is because if an engine (particularly turbocharged) regularly hits a fuel-cut rev limit (such as in high performance driving, or particularly drifting) engine damage can arise due to the lean condition produced when the original ECU shuts off the fuel pump. The BEE*R rev-limiter allows fuel to pass into the engine still, limiting engine speed by disabling the ignition signal. The Bee*R rev limiter is fully adjustable in 500rpm increments, for safety reasons allowing only a lower rev-limit to be configured than standard. If you have spent a lot of money tuning your engine, or are running at high RPM’s for extended periods of time, it could be recommended to run a lower rev-limit to prolong engine life. Both Formula 1 and JGTC cars use ignition cutting rev limiters, so it is a fully race proven concept.

    The Bee*R can also be used as a “two stage rev limiter”, as an aid for launching your car. The Bee*R is configurable for two different rev-limits. A lower rev limit can be activated by a switch, the handbrake switch often being used. This configurable lower limit, can be set to the optimum RPM to launch your particular car from in 500rpm increments. When the handbrake is released, the usual rev limit comes into action, allowing quick launches, and full performance down the strip.

    The Bee*R rev-limiter has another final neat feature. The gain control knob allows you to adjust the frequency of the ignition cut. This in turn changes the frequency and sound of the flames and bangs from your exhaust!

    >_<
    Had a friend hold it up for me, but I still wasn't able to get the old hinges out. :/
    Maybe I just need better tools... Haha

    Oh, and I will be able to keep the Celi for a while. ;)
    Turns out that if I get a new car, that insurance will be cheaper if I have the Celi vs. Having only the new car. :D
    Tehehe

    Just made money off of the BeeR. ^_^

    Gonna have a friend swing by and help me out with the hinges this Friday, so I'll hopefully get all that sorted out.
    In the meantime, I'm debating on whether to leave the big gap in my front lip, or cover it all up, so that it's kind of like a Corona lip. :p

    There are a couple of lip jobs in the works and we were discussing this the other day, here's a reminder ------- http://www.st162.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8264 ............. take note of the link to Stig's topic on his lip.

    Stig's post is the reason why I'm contemplating doing a Corona lip.
    Doesn't seem like it negatively impacts performance... Unless I somehow misread his post :p


    Anyways, with the help of a friend, I finally fixed the trunk! ^_^

    Now to finish up that lip! :p

    Ended up selling the BBS's for profit...
    If all goes as planned (don't count on it as this usually isn't the case... :/ ), I might be picking up something even more interesting in the near future. ;)

    Got another set of wheels, but I'm kinda not sure if I'll keep them or not...

    17x10 XXR 562's with a +20 offset...

    Here they are on an Alltrac that was being parted out. (and yes, I got a few things from an Alltrac today. ;) )

    This last pic was with 8mm spacers... And the wheel STILL hit the struts... -_-

    Debating on whether I should sell them off, or get fender flares/go widebody... (Leaning towards just getting rid of them...)
