lol. Anything is possible with the right $$$'s and expertise

Ahh yes.. TT. An idea that has been kicked around in my head for a while. Would need pretty decent $$$$$'s to do it and, preferably, another intake box on the left of the engine as well as 2 return piping FMIC's... ooh yeah

But that pouch looks so good with something stuffed in it!

mmm under-bonnet heat.... I do like Masa's partial solution to the heat issue with the externally venting front quarter panels. Dolphin made a vented CF bonnet, but I think that productions ceased on that a while ago...

Sound is normal. Definitely upgrade the exhaust from turbo or dump back to 3".

Yeah, phones are a no-go, but because a wallet has a soft course surface, it tends to stay in there - even when giving the car a "hit"

Haven't come across them yet. In fact, I haven't come across many heavily modified VQ25DET's.

Yep. Amsoil Ea Air replacement filter Part number EAA74. Has been working well for me.

Wallet?

Yeah, very low and very hard

Actually a front pipe makes a fair difference. Mine and my mates cars being the example - normal exhaust allows turbo to boost to 0.8bar on an RS/RX. My car with highflow turbo and stock dump, stock front pipe & stock exhaust - Max boost = 0.8bar My mates car has the stock dump & front pipe with the Fujitsubo Legalis exhaust - Max boost = 0.8bar My car with stock dump, 80mm Kakimoto front pipe & Fujitsubo Legalis exhaust - Max boost = 1bar I understand your theory which is needed for N/A cars as they require the back pressure produced by the smaller diameter pipe to work effectively. But not so much for turbo charged cars as the velocity is produced by the exhaust wheel of the turbo, so eliminating as much resistance on the escaping exhaust gases, which in turn reduces resistance in the exhaust wheel, which allows the turbo to spool faster more easily is paramount, both for power and for turbo longevity... thus the difference in power my car producted when the larger diameter pipe was fitted.

Yeah, but remember that the plugs will take sometime to come over. No worries Dale. Will find out when the next shipment for Denso leaves Japan to give a firm date.

Not in upcoming Victoria events in the Stagea section. Take a wander over to the SAU VIC section and under "Events" you will find the Kebab run I didn't realise that is what you got up to at these events TJ... Is you missus down for the night?

No, no. I understood your post. What I don't understand is why they would make you pay for a 2.5" rear pipe & muffler to be installed when it would have cost you about the same (maybe less) to have a larger front pipe installed, therefore increasing flow. The aftermarket exhausts for the VQ25DD (N/A) are 2.5", so I am confused as to why they recommended a 2.5" (even for now) on a turbo that pushes ~0.8bar I am aware that I am not an expert (far from it), but if you have a large rear pipe and a smaller front pipe and one of them needs to be replaced, logic dictates (at least to me) that it is the smaller one that gets ripped off, not the larger one... particularly if the purchase/installation price is similar... Please correct me if I am wrong... or have mis-interpreted your post. Oh, and I agree with what they say about putting a 3" cat-back system on the 2-2.5" stock front pipe. It does nothing but add a little bit of noise

... It's funny because it's true

You're going to need more than just the screen to get it working if your car didn't come with it.

Correct. No tv/navi. You can tell because there is no pop-up button as you would see be on a car with the pop-up screen when the screen is down (if that makes sense) If there is just a plastic flap, then it is just a storage compartment. As it is on that RS.

Just asking because Northshore have a white RSfourV with sunroof, for sale... but no aero kit

Does it have to have the aero kit?

Not with a 3.5L V6 they don't.

nor is it AWD

Perhaps put your name in the Sydney Stagea gathering and request a copy from Bis-e-bee? He has the 2009 version with the NM35 info. Otherwise, I believe that they are on rapidshare.

Just a small change? All we need is a Vic Stag cruise.... Now where is that Ryan1600 at??

ahhhh, so you DID get the SSV one Tom. Looks GREAT! Where are you located?

Looks like a good turnout with some nice examples there.... but look at them white legs!!!
