Team_v's Tig

Didn't really know which thread to ask this question in and didn't think it was worthy of starting a new thread...anyway.......

Does anyone know if Tiggy has a rev limiter?

Also, whacked on the Nanolex sealant last weekend. Very very happy with it indeed. Car repels dust like nothing I've ever seen. Rain coming this weekend so will be interesting to see how well it repels the water (and road dirt) as well.

I haven't hit a limit on it yet but i haven't really been pushing it too far into the red.
I assume it would have a limiter though.

I re-applied the nanolex after washing the car on the weekend.
The most noticable part was that it makes the wheels very easy to clean, brake dust from 8 weeks without a wash wipes off realtviely easily.
The dirt/dust washes off relatively easily as well, just a few spots that require a bit of elbow grease.

Couldn't be happier with the products.

Most definately has a rev limiter. And if you are in a hurry in 1st gear you really need to pay attention to the revs as 1st is so short that you'd hit it and slow down progress .... been there a few times now .....

I have just done mine too, on Clay's recommendation...and we've already had the rain...fantastic product, water beads like nothing I've seen before and looks like new again...
thanks Clay!

No worries mate.
I'm not big on lengthy detailing sessions, but i wanted something to give a little extra protection and this seems to be doing the job.

The spray bottle should last a year or 2 at this rate.

Nanolex has different types of sealants within their range. Which one are you using?

This one:
Car Care Products / Nanolex / Exterior / Paint Sealant / Premium Spray Sealant

Works great on the body work and the wheels.

Drove home this morning from Samford area to the Southside.
35km or so and the average fuel consumption ranged from 5.5 (lowest i saw, stayed on it for a while) up to 7.2 (went up due to the big hill near QUT Kelvin Grove and the hills on teh way home.

This week will be trying to sort out a solution to the bulb out warning from the hella teailights and also to work out if the interior light covers can be removed.

Still haven't got around to the bulb out warning from the hella tails.
I know all i need is an appropriately rated resistor but i haven't had the time to find out what load the foglight pulls so i can get the resistor.

Put the haldex through it's paces yesterday on some nice corners.Definitely noticed it start to slip a few times and then regain composure.
Wonderful bit of equipment but you can feel the understeer under hard acceleration.
H&R sway bars would probably help and suspsension to lower the centre of gravity.


Also had the engine mount removed (it was the soft one).
With the aircon on - and at idle or in neutral/stopped it would shake the front of the car half the time and the other half it would be so severe that the rear would start to shake as well.
The guys from APR said they had no idea what could have caused it and said that they haven't had any other complaints from customers (there was also no evident wear on the mount)
The gear changes feel a bit sloppy now so i will have to look into redline gearbox fluid but the rumbling has completely dissapeared.

Had a spritied drive home this morning, lots of fun in the wet.
Being quite heavy footed, i managed 8.3l/100km

Car is getting a wash this coming week and hopefully with a day off work i can find a solution to the bulb out warning, (need a resistor)
