So last night i was driving along south road near the very end of the expressway (near old noarlunga) and a Koala decided to take his chances crossing the road while i was driving along, couldn't avoid it because there was quite a few cars around me at the time and he completely trashed my front bumper, he also didn't come out of it so well.

anyway, long story short, i have a stock front bumper that i need to grind around my intercooler and mount it, but i a) don't own an angle grinder and b) lack the confidence to fit it myself (call me lame :wave: )

anyway, long story short, would anyone be interested in doing some work for beers or something else we could agree on to give me a hand grinding the bumper back and mounting it? would be greatly appreciated as i cringe every time i look at my car atm :/

Hacking up your front bar to fit a intercooler in is highly defectable BUT since it's a aftermarket bar, you might get away with this if it's all cut neatly!

It's mostly when you see the TX3's with the hacked up standard front bar and a huge front mount hanging out of it is when they attract defect attention.

I'm in the Southern area, but I wouldn't have a clue about cutting front bars lol. Jack might have a clue? He's Jack88 on here - lives in the Southern area. Try PMing him!

oh, sorry let me re-phrase

it smashed through my aftermarket bumper, and i was going to mount a stock one but just cut around the guards at the bottom that would hit my intercooler so it fits. it's defectable, but im pretty sure no front bumper is just as defectable :(

any mod is a defectable area,although ive heard that as long as your intercooler is behind your bumper and doesnt protrude it is accepted by regency,as long as you only trim the bumper and dont cut any support rails etc. it works for my bumper and ive been ok with it,coppers look but leave me alone,may be the grey hair ha ha

I was driving around without front bumper 3 weeks while it was being fixed... was driving past cops without it 100 times.... even got pulled over one time and cops said nothing...  >_<

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
