First things first...welcome!!! Nice looking car you have there

Crap Isaac!! Alex, just go to your "My Controls" area and change it to whatever you want it to say!!

You can only change that if you are a mamber of the club!!!! I couldnt change mine till I had joined

thanks for the advice, I just go to the gym there and thought i would snap a couple of pics after i washed her today. (Isn't it annoying how many inperfections you find when you wash a car for the first time ?!?!)

Also, I was thinking of putting the car on the dyno just to see how it goes as a starting point and also to check out a noise im hearing (there is a high pitched whistle when the turbo spools up only happens for like a second on full boost between 4000 and 5000rpm i think it is). I rang up FIST performance and they quoted $95, does anyone have any dealings with them to speak of? or anyone else to recommend?

I have only heard very bad things about fist :O

Thanks for the positive comments, there is definately an active community here.

I was actually wondering what they do in a "dyno tune" as opposed to a power run. Is it worth getting a tune if i have just the exhaust and hks pod?

WELCOME WELCOME ALEX! kaos-panda28.gif

FIST... well... as I personally haven't had any work done there, I can't say... but there are things that just don't sit right. They tend to not take things seriously. They will overcharge on items. And they tried to sell me a car which had work done and was tuned, yet still seemed to make piss-poor power figures.

Anyway, welcome, you should come along to Chilleh (it's at ChilLan this week) :mage:

Ciao, Anna xo

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
