Blink... I got a missed call from you at like 1am in the morning a couple of nights ago...whats with that?

Also, i thought you hated cruises?

So ghey..I live like 1 min away from the meeting point..So devo'd that i cant go.

Would you boyz (and girlz) be up for organising a Sunshine Coast cruise? I would be up.

Chris

Chris i dont know bout everyone else but id be more interested in a dinner cruise or go 10 pin bowling followed by a cruise or sumthin along those lines. But im sure we can organise sumthin. just let me know what you come up with and give me as much notice as possible so i can actually make it (try keep in sunday arvo or sat/fri nitesif possible)

Wes

haha thanks for the offers guys, especially a ride in that 180 -whoo-, but wont be able to go. got a lot of shit going on.

+ a few mates are going on a hill run. am more interested in that than driving down to brissie ;):(

(I) say NO. it doesnt obstruct vision, but may be a head impact issue.

i had a 5" tacho mounted in my a-pillar in my old s13, got pulled up by the popo, and they said it was FINE.

*plus ive been pulled over a few times with mine, and no popo has said squat, even when being pulled over at 2am, with 2 defi gauges blaring in my face :)

1am?? Hmmm I must have rang the wrong Chris then, my bad sorry.

I'll go to properly organised cruise with a cause (fundraising) - not weekend lapping :laughing-smiley-014:

gauges have to sit under the steering wheel to be legal.

Correct. Pillar Pods are illegal because "line of sight" "visual distraction" laws in QLD.

I have now mounted everything that illuminates bright light, such as Turbo Timer, Gauges below the steering wheel. Hey..It mightn't look as good to your friends...but it saves your a$$ from getting defects and having to pay for more donuts.

mmm....Brad has a point though....i think its up to the individual when they pull you over....Brad usually isnt a smart a$$ to them so perhaps thats why they tend to overlook it.

thats about right man. u can expect to pay around $400 for a "good" intercooler, and about $200 for the piping.

but what u can do is buy the piping kit off ebay. they're not too bad, and just wack in a good intercooler :rofl:

i highly recommend monkey warehouse:http://www.monkeywarehouse.com.au/

http://www.monkeywarehouse.com.au/09mcooler.htm

i got an ebay kit, but im only using about half a metre as i have a forward plenum, and none of the piping is in the engine bay..bar 20cm, so its REALLY good with heat. replaced the fmic, sold it on boostcruising, and used the cash to buy a monkey warehouse fmic.

it is really good.

Anyone seen some of the specials on Modyourcar website?

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/hybrid-gtspec...t-rb25det-p4227

How do they compare to other places?

they look expensive. i've seen Apexi SAFC Neo for $150 - $200 cheaper

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
