  1. EL / AU Falcon's run them too. The shroud will also fit fairly closely to the Skyline radiators. I agree with 116.HKS too. Isnt it obvious that mounting a thermo directly to a radiator will only cool the area in contact? Space it off, and design a shroud so the fan draws air through the entire radiator.
  2. Yup, agree entirely I've never personally met any of the brainwashed owners who think they are the quickest thing on the street, but it definately seems easy to find them on the US forums. The H22A accord my mate converted was done at a time where there was no information around, definately switched on. He gave that car hell too, if theres one thing you cant fault them on its reliability.
  3. I agree, point is that it happens to be the honda owners its associated with most often
  4. Nice vid there Lithium, fwiw I think its the occasional Honda owner such as these that contribute to their reputation: Civic vs RX8 Civic vs WRX Civic Owners, Post Pics of your Oil Cap - WTF??
  5. Been reading up on this software being developed by an RX8 owner on another forum. Heres the link: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=133797 I dont know enough about the science of tuning but I thought the thread was an interesting read and it would be interesting to see what some of our forum members have to say. btw Apparently he's now at the stage where it can be used for PowerFC
  6. I had a Power Enterprise pod before my 3L conversion, very loud 12months of use and was nothing inside. Was in a UAS cold air box with a CAI Now running an Apexi pod with a hard intake pipe, cant complain with either. The most important thing is they are set up properly away from heat and dust. The performance differences between brands would be negligable.
  7. I was thinking the same, cant see it ever being up there with the UK version tho
  8. Thats 2 of us, though I will admit I didnt like them at first but now they've grown on me. However performance wise, Top Gear has written them off to the evo
  9. How old are the sparkplugs?
  10. Not sure what your saying there, but they make RWD too such as the S2000 and NSX. What im saying is that a 1.8 or 2L RWD Integra or Prelude would probably be looked upon more desirably in a RWD platform
  11. Been in a Accord with a H22A transplant, not slow for a streeter at all... I think Honda's would be thought of alot differently if more of them were RWD
  12. I think they use a special machine, it doesnt just spin it moves in other directions too. Not sure what the polish is, the work was done by my mate who's a professional detailer.
  13. Heres the same 4x4 later on... My mate only just posted these pics up:
  14. Dont think this has been posted on SAU yet? Not bad...
  15. Usually by machine polishing. Most of the time the scratches usually only affect the clear coat. If they're deep enough to be felt with a fingernail then that could be a problem
  16. Take it to a Detailer so they can perform paint correction eg:
  17. No not the clock spring the airbag module (sits behind the horn pad) Ali-turko you have a PM
  18. As Topic States. Please PM me with Freight costs if you are willing to part with them. Cheers
  19. Found another Option to the EJ1 and HKS Camp, Blitz have released their R-VIT DS which connects to a display
  20. HKS Camp is wired into the ECU loom and will work with an aftermarket ECU such as PFC. HKS Camp2 runs off the consult port
  21. Yes thats a HKS camp... dime a dozen on Yahoo Auctions, I feel sorry for whoever gets sucked into paying AU$700 for that. I picked up mine for more like $270
  22. FWIW LCT was meant to be scrapped when the Liberal's introducted the 10% GST which was supposed to cover EVERYTHING... but as usual the media jumped onto it and complained about women not being able to afford tampons etc and it started to become complicated with its removal on some things, and the introduction to others. In the end the only way for GST to be passed through the senate was for the Liberals to agree to the Democrats demand to introduce a 25% luxury car Tax. This rise will only end up hurting successful small business owners making $100,000-$200,000 a year. They are the largest segment of the luxury car buyer's market. These people put their necks on the line, taking on debt to their eyeballs and walking on the financial tightrope every day trying to keep their business cashflow healthy, trying to find the cash to pay another weeks' wages, stock costs, etc. And when that risk pays off, when their business has grown and they're paying large sums of tax on business profits, employing Australian workers and delivering a valuable product to consumers, this government decides to slug them with extra tax when they go try to reward themselves. In short, the Government is punishing people for building a successful business. So where's the incentive now to work hard, to innovate, to take on debt, to employ people? Why take on risk, if you only end up getting slugged with consumer taxes in addition to ordinary business taxes? While we are at it lets tax cigarettes another 8%. Fresh bread should also be taxed 8%. Why not another 8% tax on Gravy. And another 8% tax on Hair cream! After all... its just another tax. Old Chinese proverb: you cannot help the poor by hurting the rich.
  23. 150,000 + 33% Does this mean the new R35 GTR will be near $200,000 when its released in Aus??
  24. Mine did that, heat them up with a hair drier to soften them, then stick them back on with areldite
