  1. Thanks Haven't installed it yet so no idea on sound or space but like above should be fine. Rex dummy fitted it all up to make sure. Highly recommend him if you want a no fuss no muck around guy that does great work and is easy to get along with! Hard to find them in the automotive world......
  2. Did he say if the heavy lifting might have contributed to it? Did he tell you to stop the heavy lifting or go easy for a while?
  3. Best to contact Rex for a price
  4. Whilst I haven't used it yet, I can vouch for Rex Kelway. I'm in Sydney but had no issues at all on dealing with Rex - service was exceptional. He was flexible and very helpful when I wasn't sure on what I wanted. I sent him my twin gates and he fabricated the manifold to suit. On top of all that the price was great. I'll post pics later of the manifold he made me SR20 T4 twin scroll, twin 38mm gates. Can definitely recommend him.
  5. Not exactly sure but minimum 3.5" or 4" dump and 3" exhaust. He might be going a 6766 on his new 2.2VE so will be interesting to see what it does.
  6. Thanks. Can't see the sig on the phone. Yeah should make a lot more than that - 500rwk easy depending on boost level. Mates old set up made 536rwk on 34psi with a 6466 T4 twin scroll 0.84 on a 2.0 SR20VE on the JEM dyno.
  7. Yes of course but 295 all around and decent aero should help with that. However I doubt I would run that on the circuit at all but I might use it on the drag strip or runway... and if it only costs me 300rpm or so I am seriously considering it.
  8. I'm deciding between a 6262 or a 6266 for a SR22VET circuit car. The 6262 should make 450rwk but may struggle to hit 500rwk whereas the 6266 might hit the 500rwk but be approx 250-500rpm slower in spool. Boost levels would be around 24-30psi. Should be a similar story for most, so you just have to decide what is more important. Outright response or a few extra kw up top? I'm leaning for a few extra kw up top because you can never have enough power! and your tuner can always play around with cam timing to bring it on a bit earlier if need be. For the 6466 add another 30rwk or so and add another say 300rpm, and so on for each turbo thereafter.
  9. Sorry which turbo and what motor? Thanks.
  10. When your putting a blade to your face it just doesn't seem as easy as that lol OK, gave it a crack yesterday. It's much harder than it looks! I used the following; Merkur 34c Astra Stainless Blade Omega Badger Brush Proraso Sensitive Shave Soap Ceramic bowl for lather The Merkur - I liked the look of it and it was pretty easy to load with the 2 piece design.The weight was good, not heavy and not light, felt well weighted. But its very short compared to the normal Gillette/Shick commercial stuff so it felt a little uncomfortable in the hand at first. I think it will take some time getting used to the small handle, especially after years of long handle use. The Astra blades I cant really comment on as they were the first I tried. Not as sharp as I thought but my technique is crap so cant blame them just yet. The soap - struggled to get a good lather using a bowl but probably not the soap but just me again. But the soap left my face feeling very dry afterwards and really had to use a balm to 'moisturise' it. I'll try the cream next as not keen on the dry feeling it left afterwards. First impression of 'wet shaving' - its pretty hard! I knicked myself a fair bit (probably 3 or 4 bleed spots!) but my growth is very tough and combined with not the best lather and poor shaving technique it was bound to happen. Now I realise why this isn't for everyone. Its a lot of effort to shave with so much to do and it feels like starting all over again. The technique is completely different to your Mach 3 shave and it takes longer. But shaving now seems like more of a hobby now and almost fun as opposed to a chore and that is what I think makes this appeal to many people. My wife laughed and me and said its a lot of effort for a shave when you have to do it all again very soon... hhmm. But I'll stick at it and get better!
  11. All my stuff arrived. A but apprehensive but keen for the first try.
  12. Dan - that looks pretty good for a home set-up. Good buy!
  13. Absolutely no chance with that behind the back one! Not even close lol
  14. Lol
  15. Yeah and they are well priced. They have an eBay store but I bought direct from the website. MensBiz also has heaps of stuff as well.
  16. I bought the sampler pack, cream and pencil from the Shave Shed. Have not received yet but I changed the order hence the delay. Service so far is very good. They were out of stock on the Merkur 34c so bought that and the Omega brush and soap from EBAY.
  17. Does any part of your body work? Lol
  18. Where are you getting the dmaa caps from?
  19. In a normal shaker with water. The shaker had that little steel ball - the wpc needed a lot more mixing time than the wpi.
  20. The BN WPC is not that great. Average tast aside it did not mix very well and I hated the lumps when drinking. The WPI is much better with a better taste and mix ability. It's a US WPI but not as good as the original NZ stuff.I imagine the Dymatise you use tastes pretty good (most big brand commercial ones do) so the BN WPC might take some getting used to. But above all, the profile of the BN product is very good and the price hard to beat so up to you what's more important.
  21. I've watched a heap of his videos. Very good information!
  22. Will do, I'm hanging to try this stuff out!
  23. Your lucky! Mate I wish I didn't have to do this shit! Kills me!!!
  24. Just saw this thread! I have a tough beard and it grows quickly. I couldn't find any M3 m-power razors and stuffed if I'm going to pay close to $40 for the Fusion crap so after seeing this, I started doing some research. Its amazing the amount of different razors, blades, soaps, creams and all the other stuff thats out there. They have forums for it!!!!!! So after my research I went and bought the following for my first wet shave kit; this was cheaper and much better than buying a ready to go 'kit' from online stores... Merkur Solingen 34C HD Razor It was between this and the Edwin Jagger DE89 and Muhle R89. Ended up going with this because it supposedly gives a slightly more aggressive shave than the others. The general consensus is that the others are better built and finished but I wanted a stronger more aggressive razor for my tough beard and i liked it was a simple 2 piece design! I was contemplating the Merkur Progress or Futur (both adjustable for more aggressive shaves) but will upgrade to those if I like wet shaving. OMEGA pure badger shaving brush 63167 Bought this from the same seller of the Merkur 34c purely for convenience. You can spend up to $200 on a badger brush!!! This will do for now. Shaveshed 55 blade sampler pack Has a heap of different blades to try. Might be a little confusing but I have read various things about them so will be keen to give them a try. Feather blades are the sharpest apparently so will give them a go once I am comfortable with the shaving process. Proraso Sensitve Shave Soap Taylors of Old Bond Street Sensitive Cream I bought a soap and a cream just to try them out and see how they 'lather' up. Col. Conk Styptic Pencil To help with cuts and nicks.... reckon I'll use this a bit lol I already have an aftershave balm so will use that. So that's my kit, what do you reckon? Can add more items (a lather bowl, preshave oil, proper stand etc) but that will do me for now. Cant wait for all this stuff to arrive and give it crack!

    After reading the shoulder information stuff you posted, I better do this sooner rather than later. I'll give him a call this week.
