beau, i chased it up with coby last friday - awaiting a response.

yourself and karl are the last two to receive them.

GTR.2NV also lives in Vic and has gotten his.

i'm not sure why you haven't, do you live a bit out of the city center?

karl lives over in WA so it might take slightly longer.

i'll keep you guys posted when i get a reply. in the meantime make sure the postman hasn't left a delivery ticket that someone has accidentally put aside/thrown out.

PM sent to both of you to re-confirm addresses.

eug

Beau, there was an attempted delivery at your specified address on the 24/12/2007 at 13:47PM

Karl, yours was attempted on the 27/12/2007 at 11:44AM

please check if an 'attempted delivery receipt' was left asking you to pick up from your local post office.

you both have been PM'd with tracking numbers!

Eug no need to worry no body blaims you for anything, you were only help :P

the excuse the post office gave me was they are trailing some sort of new ticket system??

i was like yeh what ever give me my pipes.

and they only just fit accross my back seat, was lucky didnt think they would..

so i shall take pictures of my process, should be on by tuesday :thumbsup:

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

this headers thing has turned into quite an expensive investment.

the initial price of $285 plus $170 for heat wrapping then $20 for some thermal paint then $250 to have the flange welded on and have them fitted... :D

i just hope they are worth it or i am going to grumble..

I went into the Local Aus post office and they didnt even have my tracking number in the book or any record of it under express delivery..i then said how there wasnt even a ticket left and the lady serving me thought this was quite strange especially ince i was home the day and time it was suppose to be delivered....

she gave me the number for customer service and they transferred me to someone and they found the details of my item but still didnt understand why its not at the post office or anything..the guy was very helpful and was going to investigate into the matter and track down the driver ect..he took down all my details and gave me a refference number and was going to call me back when he finds out anything.

thanks Eug for everything and yeah its not your fault Aus Post sucksss

..i just really hope they find my extractors.....

im getting it done with Kirmit off these forums

hes making up the catback as well so thought may as well get him to do the whole thing..

i thought $250 to fit the extractors was pretty steep as i could do it myself..

but if the extractors change the length of the rest of the pipe i need my catback to fit.

and booking it into two different places is just a hassel..

(im the kind of person that wastes money when i dont need to)

ok everyone

so my extractors and new catback go on tomorrow

cant wait! im posting a few pics of my progress..

pic0241zn1.th.jpg

first half of heat wrapping done ^^

pic0244if3.th.jpg

fully wrapped and painted in high temperature paint ^^

pic0245lc9.th.jpg

the paint i bought to seal the heat wrapping and hopefully create more heat protection ^^

after i was done wrapping and painting i had some heat wrap left over.

i remembered the "ghetto foil" idea for the induction pipe and decided that heat wrapping would probably be better and as i had some left i thought i'd try it.

WELL! i highly recommend heat wrapping your induction pipe!

i didnt think it would make much of a difference but i was wrong.

good investment imo.

anyway will let all know how they go afer they are fitted tomorrow

cheers

Karl

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
