  1. Actually I have bought new diff oil, vmx80 gear oil, new synthetic oil, oil filter, and new brake pads to be also done very soon hey..... so if you know any tips for that, it'd be good...
  2. A few of the guys around here have used Ross at Autoclutch, I haven't myself, but will be in the near future. Around $600 for a 2500lbs ceramic i think. very drivable apparently and not heavy. Ask hicks about slipping clutches. Sorry buddy, we'll never forget!
  3. i like the sound of that then... im with adam32... dont wanna "team" it as it can be a letdown sometimes... i trust all the info about AFARCC cams affiliation is on thier site ?
  4. foul ? chicken shit! poultry in motion it was!
  5. im eating the light and tangy chips.... just thought everyone should i know i feel dirty for doing so.... as for making the thread sticky....h mmm. that could be arranged with more light and tangy chips..
  6. There's something very unwholesome and just plain wrong by eating potato chips labelled "Light and Tangy" That is all.
  7. So then it's settled. All friend again? I love you guys..... ....ah screw you guys. j/k
  8. yay! heavy-handed goons to the rescue! thanks guys... as I found out last night, getting the turbo off could be quite hard... while ive got everything else off, i might clean my IC and install a proper catch can methinks.... ho hummm... right now my car is sitting in the garage having a nap.... *sigh*
  9. ahhaha, all my friends know less than me about cars... (and i know shit all) might have to get in some heavy-handed goons to help me... pay them in quantities of alcohol methinks...
  10. Congrats mate! let me know how it goes!!!
  11. Okay, Here's the story... I busted something, what I believe is a turbo gasket/manifold thinggy. First of all I blew an intercooler pipe (the one right up near the throttle body) which basically just loosened and sat there, it didn't pop off anywhere.... I heard a funny sound so I limped it home. This caused intake oil to be sprayed all over the goddam place, down the intake pipes, on the rocker cover, even reaching the opposite strut tower. The place was a mess. Now I also have a funny "exhaust leak" (well, that's what it sounds like anyway) coming from around the turbo area. I pulled it all off last night (no sick connotations pls) and didn't see anything physically wrong with the turbo, everything looks norm. Of course in doing this I rounded two nuts off the bloody heatshield cover (the ones closest to the firewall that get really hot), lucky i still have the other 3 holding it on. So the next step i think would be to take off the turbo manifold heatshield and take a look under there to see what I can see. Who knows, maybe it's just the gasket between the turbo and the manifold (common fault I hear) My question is, what else could it be ? And where would I goto get such a thing fixed? Do i take off the part and bring it to someone or what ? Any help would be great guys.... but for now my car is off the road and I'm not risking driving it until it's fixed. Probably won't be at the cruise on sunday. grrr! Back to the Accent we go..... -Kym.
  12. I noticed that. At no point was it off-topic whatsoever. Except where people were quoted to say "Don't listen to what Kym has to say" then the bunfight started. This always happens around here and it's starting to annoy a lot of people.
  13. 4500 !! that's quite high. is that normal for an RB20 like that, or is it just coz your boost comes on so high ?
  14. Yeh, you'll be in the power for how long, 2000rpm, then revlimit. A bit of a shame! Adam - who's decision was it to put that massive snail on it to begin with ? came with it? why would someone do such a thing, any real reasoning ?
  15. You're right, there's nothing more appealing than upshort underwear shots.... ... right joe? they don't call him "Dirty Joe" for nothing! -- as you found out macka!
  16. Something about having "usable boost" not just a HP Hero eh? What's your best time so far adam ?
  17. Hey! I'm in two pictures in this thread, you want MORE eye candy ?
  18. Nice to meet you Marc, Chrisroi and Mrs Chrisroi! Mad props for the photo's Marc, I'm usually the little photowhore at the drags... good to have a rest.
  19. YES! 14.53 @ 156.9km/h which i'm absolutely stoked with! Still overfuelling like a bitch tho' AFC - here I come! 0.5sec improvement! (was consistantly getting 15.0 flats before) Most Importantly I have my launches now at 2.3sec! better than previous 2.45 attempts. So it's getting there! S13_Angel - saw you on the freeway yesterday arvo on your way to the drags... saw your chicky passenger looking back and smiling at me! *wink *wink* But if i'm not mistaken that 13.1 pass you did, you weren't driving?!?! (correct me if im wrong) Sean (GOT BOOST) ran a 13.8 by memory (stock turbs) oh yeh, thanks for the advice about launches buddy!
  20. hehehe, dispute it with the fines enforcement registry as much as you can eh. It's a wonder how they suspended your DRIVERS license, and simply not the VEHICLE (3rd party thinggo) license as they usually do for parking infringements... There's usually a few files on you at the fines registry, one on the license of the vehicles you own, and one on your drivers license itself. Once they do not receive payment for a parking ticket, they suspend the vehicle license. sometimes they match them up with the drivers license in the end... very rare (this happened to gf, got $400 of parking fines from 3 initial $30 fines. eck!) It wasn't till she paid a speeding infringement by money order they had to do a search for her file, found the outstanding parking ones and transferred them..... so there ya go, the fines enforcement registry lick dogs balls, and liek it in teh butt!
  21. I'll be there... givin' it another go.. and yeh Riaz, you'll probably beat me! damn overfuelling bitch-car I have!
  22. Joe buddy. You got PM!
  23. Two VERY beautiful daughters chris... but one drives an impreza... that can't be good! -Kym (any chance to get in a dig)
