Hey guys,

Just a bit of an update: the exchange rate was slightly better than expected (budgeted for 1.1000 and received 1.1135) but the transfer fee was slightly more (budgeted for $20 and payed $28). They pretty much even each other out, but I ended up making a huge profit of $8 :D

I had to pay for an extra set myself to make up the numbers, so if anyone (prefereably in melb) wants to buy it then pm me.

I think I've let most of you know already but I'm going on holidays for two weeks (leaving this saturday) so after then the best way if you need to contact me is on my mobile.

Regards

Greg

Sorry Clint I have to be fair here, neoGT-25 asked me first about 1 hour ago so I'll give him first go at them. If he deides against it or takes forever to get the money, then you'll be next in line. Alternatively I could auction them off? :D j/k

It cost me about $100 to get my Cobe extractors fitted, just to give you guys an idea... It took a little longer than I was expecting because they had to grind a side off all 12 of the washers, to miss the welds on the extractors.

yep its true, i'm currently in the cook islands :)

At the other end couldn't you just get them to weld a flange to it so it does bolt on to the cat? this would make it easier if you wanted to change your cat in the future. it sounds a bit dodgy about grinding them down, i thought they were meant to be a straight bolt on.

i had a look at the standard extractors today and they suck! piping is really small and bends obviously aren't mandrel done. also you guys should tighten your throttle cables. i took a fair bit of slack out of mine and it's much more responsive now :)

cheers

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
