all i have to say is nothing is a bolt on kit. It took most of the afternoon - we had to run around for food/misc duties. Performance? I wouldnt have a clue, you would have to ask will that but i recall him saying is that it doesnt make a difference which i then replied its just a safety modification.

btw do you remember the name of the filler that you were going to recommend for me to use on the car - its all sanded back now. Just need to fill some dents and its ready for primer. yipee

btw will is definately serious bout upping the performance on his car sam. When i was there i discovered his pfc, fmic - which we installed and oil cooler. Didnt see any aftermarket turbs though. His getting a tune tomorrow morning supposively @ boost worx.

yeah FMICs don't improve performance - if anything they degrade performance slightly, as they make cars a little more laggy (due to the car having to pressurise a larger volume before making boost). But, they are vital if you want to up boost, and they lower the intake charge temperature to help prevent pinging.

sam, do u want a cai box for your 33? Im going to get will's cai box - the one he bought of max, and fabricate it for 33's and 32's. I inspected it when we had to remove the air filter and its looks quite easy to do as long as i can get the materials. So are you keen?

this is the exact cai box will has. I dont know if it does any good would it wouldnt hurt having one. Andrew, would you be keen for one too for the 34? =D If so i would need your car or at least access to its engine bay. =D =D

ive got a home-made heat-shield atm, i would like a full cai box, but money is a bit scarce atm (pooling all of it towards re-build), so maybe later on

hopefully he's going to sell the oil cooler to me. Nah, the pfc isnt hooked up yet. He got george at gt autosound to install it today along with a fuel pump apparently, we were there yesterday to get a hole cut in the engine bay for the fmic and he was talking bout his appointment. Although, I dont know why he's getting/got the pfc installed though because 1/its plug and play which means its basically not hand to install even my sister can do it 2/ it would more than likely be running in limp mode until it can be tuned properly which he's getting done tomorrow at bw.

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
