Me little piece of crap Corolla got defected on Friday night............ They defected it for having the track out of the guard on the drivers front wheel, and on the paperwork they put down it was a MAJOR defect, so i questioned him on how it could be a major defect and why he is sending me to Regency and why i couldn't just go to Sturt Cop Shop, and unfortunatly he showed me the book and wasn't much i could do.......

In saying all of this the cop actually rang me back the next day(must have been thinking about it/me) and said that i could take it to Sturt Cop Shop, I was cheering, couldn't believe my luck!

lol as if it got defected. poor corola.

i just noticed you sig slimjim 173.6 thats not from your GTR :/ ?? got to be a mistake

Yeah thats from the GT-R, but as Cubes said I've heard that's normal for a stocky one. Although it does have pods, 3 inch zorst from the dump pipes, and is running 11 psi (no boost controller just because of the zorst I think)

Not sure about the torque reading, I've uploaded my dyno sheet, I think I read it right haha.

Oh and it's rwkW, at BoostWorx

^^now called Synergy.

i just got my car back from boostworx, 143rwkw, bit of a drop from 150kw at turbo tune, but it was a hot day at boostworx.

i had just a 3inch straight through from cat-back when it got 150kw at turbo tune, it now has a pod, 040, and FMIC when it got 143 at boostworx. now needs the bleed valve to go on and it should get 150-160kw.

hey, i just had a brain buzz about you fellas with dashmats on the dashboard, u reckon theres any chance that when you pay for a parking docket to park in the city that at around 12-2pm your car could catch on fire because the sun magnifies thru the windshield and causes the paper to catch on fire thus causeing the dash to set alite? call me crazy but i think its plausible on a 43 degree day.

yeah... im on emergency report status only lol. i only handle the big problems here.

EDIT: I made that post a bit after 9 not at 8:14... what part of Adelaide do you live in? perth?

why not, im on a computer the whole freaken day, i got access to about 2 dozen wholesaler lists in adelaide on computer parts, im buying a car on friday which is a skyline, and I got a wealth of knowledge a post away and plenty of experiences to share with ya'll.

like last night i learnt how to drive manual, in a beefed up Sil80, within 10 minutes i got pulled over by cops and he tried to defect me (well my mates car) My mate just got out of regency recently. He flashed some papers, told the cop that last time it cost him 700 bux (the guy that pulled me over was the same guy that sent him to regency in the first place). and the cop let him off clearly knowing that isotta steering wheels are nto ADR approved nor are boostguages on the steering column... as per thread "A Good Read" he is one of the marriage counsellour type cops, asshole.

and then we won indoor soccer 2-1 at findon.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
