i keep saying 'weekly' but its usually fortnightly. i blame it on the winter weather tho. longest stretch without washing would have to be 8 weeks. but i try and give it a clean for cruises and/or any other car related stuffs. when i have a lot of time on my hands and i can be bothered i'll try and wax too. :(

I used to wash my car once, twice a week. That is until the water restriction came in. Now about once every 2 week.

My car is Black and every little spec of dust and water spec can be seen. The funny thing is my outside is damn clean but my inside is pretty messy hehe.

My car is Black.  It's always dirty.

Yes - mine too!

Although people say it looks clean so I dont bother washing it that often :D about once a month or maybe every few weeks - during winter / wet weather anyway.

Mine is black... well was... its now midnight blue most of the time... anyway its a real prick to keep clean. Latley I havent been washing it coz I got sick of putting in the effort to make it sparkle only to wake up the next day and find rain coming down in buckets.

Black looks awesome after good bath. Shame it only lasts a few days :P

pushead, you obviously havent see mine around.

ive had it around 4.5 months now and its only been lightly hosed down once. i dont think i even cleaned it when it arrived.

so its got crap from japan (sat at docks for two weeks), ship, docks here, then in my open carport for two months waiting for compliance, then quick wash, then drive till now without a wash.

actually its really dirty right now cause i went for a drive on sun night and started seriously wearing through my clutch :P

Once a week, first thing on Saturday morning down to the local car detailers for a wash, then I am good for cruising on the weekend. :P

Come Friday night though the car does look a little dirty :P

If I had the time I would clean it everyday.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
