Well mate, if you like, we can do a dodgy, I pretty much have 2 complete piping kits for a gtir, we can always look at cutting them to fit with a shit load of silicon hose and clamps and make "custom made" pipe for it, plus I believe we could mock up some brackets of our own

Thats just asking for trouble, "custom Piping usually ends in leaks and pressure drop due to less than optimal pipe length and bends.

so is it carseldine this week?

Not sure what does everyone want to do? Me I want to play Gears 3 but I have to wait till thursday so I can co-op that shit.

i'm easy, as i pretty much in between both morayfield and carsaldine.

as for the customer pipe, this was basically saying that, if bodo really absolutely wanted to have a FMIC installed with little to no money, i have a FMIC plus pipe that we could cut and patch with hoses, this is by far not the best thing, as like you said would end up in leaks, but would be possible, as bodo would only need to get the hoses and clamps, i can supply the FMIC and pipe work, but in the end it is up to bodo as what he wants, these ideas are purely ideas and quite possibly bad ones, but ideas none the less.

Custom pipping may not be all it's worked up to be, specially if you are joining several pieces (silicone joitns cost). Might as well buy monsta pipping, or search ebay for the right length etc.

FMIC Ordered, hopefully here end of next week!

Anyone keen to make the meet weds/thursday? either of those days is fine this week, but coming weeks i will have to push thursdays (the mises)

im up for capers castledine tonight. a bit of a drive instead of just hanging around moronfield here. hopefullly chris can join us

im aware that doing a bodgy intercooler with far to many joins would be a dodgy. im just intrigued as too how well it can be made to fit. all those piping kits are aluminium arent they?? if so i have a welder that can fix that. :) i dont do bodgy, but if i can make something instead of buying it, i'll always take that option.....either because ima cheap skate or.....i dunno :whistling:. im sure the best possible intercooler piping length is, the shortest possible way. without going to many sharp bends. i'll see what Joe has there, and if its possible it will be a whole weekend project to piece together i think.

Well mate, I'll be going down to the folks not this weekend but the following, so I'll pick up everything I have, that's pipe hoses and cooler, I believe the pipes are not aluminum, I think there some sort or light steel with crome coating, basically the same as what I have on the line.

However, I might go down this weekend and pick them up as the boy is with the grandparents and I have a feeling I'll need to get him, I'll let you know mate, but I think I have enough pipe to do the kit for you

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
