  1. oven (bun in the oven) haha got beaten by Frink but it still fits, teen pregnancy, woo
  2. haha i was so keen on doing something like that aswell but couldnt find anyone equally as keen
  3. The look i like (and will be going for in the near future) is the GTR wing with Nismo lip on stock R33 S2 front bar, a lot of people have this combination but it just looks perfect, not a fan of some of the flimsy looking aftermarket front bars
  4. first vid doesnt work and that Lotus overtaking at bathurst is intense!
  5. Remember seeing pics of a ACT SAU coast cruise from a few years back, looked like a good day out so would probably be good to bring it up at the club discussion on the 4th
  6. yea i drowned it in WD40 and left it while i attached the dump and had some lunch then attacked it again, took a decent size chunk on metal out (didnt strip it, chewed it) It has to welded on or something... Will let the exhaust shop worry about it. Had my first long drive in the car today to and from work and i love it, not as loud as i thought initially, would say its below 98dB but has a nice rumble to it. Also to anyone who has the BATMBL split dump, how loud was your turbo after the swap because mine sounds like a bloody hair drier on full force! Love the sound but it cant be normal...
  7. sweet jesus... if this is the silent model id hate to think how loud the normal model is! Hope its just a leak somewhere (didnt put any gasket cement on because i have to take it into the shop monday) because its around 100dB. Sounds tough though. Install went good, only problem was the cat being about an inch too short which put all the hangers on the exhaust out of whack so had to put the old one back on and will take it to a shop on monday to get the higher flowing one put on and let them worry about modifying brackets and getting that dam exhaust temp sensor off!!! Its seriously impossible. Looking back i wish i had taken it to a shop but probably saved myself about $100 doing the front/dump myself. All that is left is cementing all the gaskets, new cat and exhaust temp sensor removed
  8. Well all items are delivered and im attempting to install it now, sections from the cat back were easy to remove (car sounds so tough with just the dump and front pipes ) but the dump is an absolute c*** to get off.... 11 year old bolts are bastards to loosen, snapped 2 on the heat shield so have been making good use of WD40 for the rest of the job. Will be pics when im done Edit All parts off (no snapped bolts ), all set to put new parts on but cannot get the exhaust temperature sensor off the cat, anyone have any tips? I have tried shifters, vice grips, hammer and chisel, nothing will get the bastard off! Thinking about just closing off the hole on the new cat and just getting rid of the sensor cable, would this do any harm?
  9. My controls -> Edit Profile -> Custom member title demand pictures!
  10. haha was all within a minute was around 4:30pm and the car had a really dark tint, was either a guy or a girl with short hair
  11. spotted silver 32, white 33 and red corvette at the Mobil servo in braddon spotted Cejay cleaning his 'was-once-a-WRX-but-isnt-anymore' at the belconnen car wash and had a quick chat and spotted me finding out why the heat shield around the turbo is named a heat shield... also i snapped a bolt on it when i was trying to remove it... good times
