  1. Yeah but you'll get hassled for using a harness on the street vs a recaro adr approved fixed back.

    Hell my mod plater just out approved type fixed back and traffic branch of qld police pulled me over and didnt say anything once I whipped out my cert

  2. I ran a bride zeta 3 fixed back in my civic. Apart from under brakes, dont need to brace yourself under cornering conditions. Actually made me take corners harder cause I realised it was me moving around not my car being unstable. Best mod ever

  3. So my 16 x 9 +25 reverse meshies came

    Then got told we had to take 3 weeks holidays over christmas, so that sealed the deal for me to attempt my first spray job.

    But before i could start i decided I'd order a guard roller off ebay being cheap at 80 bucks and give it a crack, wanting to do it before i sprayed so i avoided cracking of paint.

    So guard started like this

    And i ended up getting very carried away and went from rolling, to mashing my inner guard skin out with a hammer and just cranking on the roller to pump the guards. Not perfect, maybe borderline beginning to be verandah guards, but i'm happy with them. If i had bigger lower offset wheels i probably would of tried the magazine trick but f**k it. YOLO and shit.

    Will get a shot up of my spray booth *cough* wedding marquee* and the car stripped back tomorrow,

    So far the boot lid is off, rear lights and garnish and boot trims are out and the chrome surround from the rear window is out. Shall finish taking the chrome garnishs and door seals off tomorrow, then mask it up, fix the few rust spots below rear window and i'll start sanding this muuf**ka back in prep for primer.

  4. LOL - the scientific name for turbo flutter is compressor surge. Search it in google - it's not good for your turbo but its not as dramatic as some people make it!

    Surge or stall? I thought its stalling the compressor as the air is traveling back through the compressor wheel. I thiught compressor surge is when the turbo is surging before coming onto boost.

  5. Lucky I wish mine was raw. Check all your threads aswell before you go bolting it on. Mine had a few dodgy threads which I just ran a tap through. Will be a pain to get to some when its on. And if you have access to one, die grind the water jackets out a bit bigger, to match your gasket, same with your ports. I through my gasket on mine and got a paint pen to mark out the overlap and just ground it out and smoothed it so it matched the ports. Wasnt much to come off but may aswell.

  6. Thanks man, nathan from fabulous fab is king of stainless piping. And yeah thats probably a hondalyf thing. Was planning on doing the whole car midnight purple but not keen on trying to spray a metallic colour for my first so just gonna try a gloss black.
