Yeah I'll look at getting it done when I get back to Darwin! Wheel alignment is made such a huge differences also This afternoon put the new filter in and bolted up the front pipe (still standard from cat back) It's amazing! Throttle response is up! Standard boost gauge is now reading 7 (is this Okies) definately gonna try to make back to willowbank next Wednesday! Also managed to lock my 1 1/2 yeah old daughter in the car :( stupid auto locking! She didn't mind, got in after a little bit! Need to get a second key cut

Haha, thanks mate.

I'll be a bit disappointed when this is done as I'll have nothing to to rib you about, lol.

Oh, I don't know; I could always revise my stance on paint colour in the meantime... :whistling:

Had my varex muffler installed yesterday along with dump pipe back 3 inch 100cell cat. When open fark these things are loud compaired to my old 2jz gte aristo.

. Was it worth the wait, how quiet is it closed.?

haha can you post up a DIY with instructions for others with that issue?

I removed the faded and cracked rain shield/wind deflector thingies. Unfortunately the weather strips under won't clean up OK, I think I'll need to replace them sometime.

1) Go out in wet weather.

2) Wait for dodgy driver to follow closely behind

3) Brake suddenly & get rear ended

4) Boot latch now works*

Haha I was waiting at a intersection, lady behind thought there was a gap I should of gone for but didnt see the Ute coming. So she went thinking I was going to take a gap, but ended pushing the lower left bumper in a little.

Dont know how but im happy the boot works.

Finally got time to do the exhaust, cust 3" from the cat back, will be doing the dump and front pipe eventually. Also put on an apexi pod filter, dam that thing is loud.

i am intrigued by your ideas & would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

yes very loud. would a mid muffler make it less loud?

Of course, although 'hot dog' mufflers don't do much. You need a 5 inch round body muffler at least, the bigger the better.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
