Default Going for a setup, what should I do.....

Right, I'm going to have my RST set up in a fortnights time and it's all booked up. I intend fitting my FMIC before hand so I thought I'd ask incase theres anything I should check while I got the car apart.

also

What checks should I do before I go? and Do people recommend to remove the dump valve for the setup?

First time I'm having my RST set up so dont really know what I could benefit from doing/checking before I go.

Cheers,

Lee

Take the car how you intend to keep it (Dump valve connected or not) Etc...

Make sure you have the oil topped up, water topped up etc..

If you think there may be a problem, then let your tuner know before hand just incase you end up not being able to go.

Give it a service before hand
Plenty of fuel (super or better)

Tyres (condition and pressure) - 4 brand new 2 weeks ago
Tracking - Done with the new tyres after a new rack
Oil - On the list
Water - On the list
Give it a service before hand - On the list
Plenty of fuel (super or better) - Have a story about that.....
Remove the dump valve
Take a spare pair of pants - I KNOW!

Took my XR2 a few months back and I know what you mean about the spare pants!!! As for the fuel, took my XR2 and it ran out of fuel about 200yds from my house on the way home, my dad was driving it and forgot to check the fuel gauge!!!

Cheers guy's!!!
