How's things. Did your video turn out allright from the autosalon?

Anyway I have had my bar done. It was through SAS paint and panel down winfield way. He done a great job. The guy at SAS his name escapes me now Mario I think has a mate who actually does the welding. Cost about $100 for welding and a bit over $300 for Mario to finish and paint it. I will try and send you a picture. I had the car at the last cruise and unfortunately will probably miss the next cruise due to being away.

Greg.

Ok the boost controller isn't actually in yet as i'm at the moment typing with black hands and doing my rear brakes :)

Anyway yes I did consider the AVCR but i've been told by to many people/tuners that it is a piece of crap.

Apparently you think you get it setup right and then it goes out and you have to fiddle with it again.

Whereas the Blitz apparently you set and forget the apexi avcr isn't like that.

With the Blitz SBC-iD it is a duel solanoid boost controller that has the usual fuzzy logic and manual/auto modes, scramble etc..

It also has an addon which is called the Power-iD I think which this is the part I liked. :) you can set boost to certian speeds i.e 0-60 12psi then 60-100 15psi then 100+ 100psi :)

Anyway you get the idea. It also tells you estimated horsepower/kw, 0-100 dash 1/4 etc it also has graphs of boost from down low to up top etc..

its got a record function etc..

anway it is around the $1045 mark bran new then I think it costs around $50 to get it over here.

BUT you can buy one here but every 1 says they are $1600 or more.

OR.. You can buy them from where I also get the PowerFC's for ~$900.

The Boost levels at different speeds is what i want as on std boost there is no where near as much wheel spin in first but it is controllable.

Yeah the blitz ones are supposed to be the best at controlling boost. I was going to get a dual sbc but then I got my turbo and will have an external gate, so I will set it and forget. John with the gtrs is trying to sell one, while they dont ahve all the fancy functions they give accurate boost control.

Boosted32, can you give me the details of the place where you got your front bumper painted?

Also, I need to cut a hole on the bumper cause at the moment air isn't going through properly, the vents are blocked by you know how the standard bumper has all those lines....does anyone know where I can get this done?

(I cut the bumper myself)

Just see what prices they can do... I got it done a while ago and we did some of the preparation ourself so it was cheaper.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
