Time has come for me to thank all the people that have helped get my baby back on the road .... im sorry to waste everyone elses time with this thread but i thought that these people just have to be acknowledged. People that have ever tried to work on my car know that she is grumpy, stubborn, hard to get along with and no matter what you want her to do she'll do the opposite ..... basically she is very much like her owner.... and im not lying my car constantly proves herself to be an absolute bitch to work on.

Firstly Steve ..... thanks for housing my car for a couple of months, using your manpower, tools and expertise.

Jeff ..... for having the patience to do those shitty jobs that paul palms off onto you pretending to know nothing.

Ant ..... for doing what you do best .... getting the heart beating again :)

Lastly Paul ...... who even tho the car is working is still putting aside his much needed time to do the finishing touches ... trying his best to have it completely perfecto .... when he really should be doing his own car for D/C. :cuddle:

You've all put up with my whinging and have put so much time n effort into getting my car back on the road ..... a big huge THANKYOU :grouphug:

well car was spending a bit of time at SST before engine went bang ..... mainly due to me doing things a little backward in modification wise .... a phucked fuel pump which was replaced but too late .... a restrictive exhaust which was replaced too but probably too late and a mad woman driver.

Before the big bang:

Blitz EBC (Paul installed)

Bosch Fuel Pump = 211rwhp

SAFC II

3in Zorst

Airpod = 246rwhp

*insert big bang in here .... happened my first run down the drags*

Now:

Forged Pistons

Dump pipes = 209rwhp LOL reason for this is because they havent tuned it yet no point til FMIC comes in.

Next week:

FMIC = hoping for about 280rwhp

Near future:

Big arse auto trans cooler

Hiflow Turbo = ultimate goal 350rwhp.

there ya go :) will keep ya updated.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
