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?

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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
