It looks much tougher now with the new stance, Andy!

Hey all,

I gotta say a big mention to terminal, leetom and XMetal for their cars.

These stageas truly inspired me to buy mine.

Tough looking, and not too overstated.

I'll post up some updated pics of mine when i get my new parts on.

Cheers!

LOL.....also the comment "all you will want is an exhaust... then suspension... then rims... then....." only the turbo, ECU, Geabox and swaybars to go for me...just got to find about 5K.

On the rims part.....thoughts people....I'm lost.....the rim in the pic on the black ARX? Yes or No?

Black & white for sure - nice contrast... but you gotta colour code the grey ARX "beard".

Done the turbo, exhaust & rims, got the ECU (Emanage Ultimate), dreaming of the CV8 with paddle shift, swaybars will be by the end of the year, can't do suspension until I move into a house without a rediculously steep driveway.... *Is that my bank account I hear screaming?*

btw. Did you get the wiring diagram you needed for your Haltech?

(in the workshop manual thread if you haven't)

Haha! Use your imagination! I think the contrast of the silver edge would work better too. The red highlight will be much more subtle and blend with the wheel/tyre blackness. Really depends on what appeals to you in the end.

I am out of play time for today sorry...

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
