lol that would be more likely!

We're taking 4 total. Guys in the back were complaining they couldn't watch DVDs, and for the cost of these headrests I figured it was worthwhile.

Robbie has 5 going over I think, want to hope it's not all in the one car. I know he's taking a Caprice over instead of the Stag.

I've got 6 coming, 4 in the caprice, 2 in either an rx8 or a b2200 ute running a 13b turbs.

It's only costing me $20 a day to have the leathered out, DVD playing, spacious 6 liter caprice, so I figure why not, use someone else tyres and spend alot less in fuel too.

I have a better story... the two headrest monitors I ordered on eBay Sunday turned up today... FROM HONG KONG! :worship:

They look great, two 9" monitors with zip up covers to hide them from prying eyes. Can't wait till Brad and I get them installed Sunday.

Which ones did you get?

Made an offer of $200, which was accepted almost straight away. You can get cheaper ones, but I didn't want vinyl headrests to go with my cloth seats :wacko:

IMO... I would not do the DVD head rest again but just use a hard drive or Ipod/Iphone for movies.

The DVD plays are good to start but 2 years on my son complains about the disc jumping on less than smooth roads.

didnt think of that. i guess with the AV inputs you can basically plug anything into it.

X100. Digital media FTW...I can't remember using optical media for a while now...apart from ripping stuff...

yeah same. i dont even use optical media in my computers. im thinking of replacing my optical drive in my laptops with a 2nd hard drive bay. or maybe another battery!

back ON topic. the exhaust is settling in. the ECU runs rich for a few seconds after backing off and now it pops when the exhaust is hot :)

Did anyone with an intake notice that they ran particularly rich when backing off? Before the e-manage tune of course.

I've tuned mine so the AFR's are good at light to medium loads (runs really nice actually), but when I lift off after accelerating, the AFR's start to go lean (as they should when coasting) but then go full rich (10:1 on my display) for a few seconds which causes a heap of smoke out the back.

I can post pics of log graphs if it will help, but it really just displays what I said (I hope :blush: ). I'm thinking of returning the intake to stock to confirm the problem goes away and then get some graphs to compare with the new ones, but that will require some work...

As an aside, I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but it appears to me that the standard ECU has another map that it refers to after a certain rate of acceleration (or throttle application) occurs. I found this out because my AFRs remained essentially unchanged at the top end regardless of what I did to the AFM signal at those load points. It is like it ignores the AFM signal & does it's own thing.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
