Changed fuel filter. Was pretty manky. Glad I changed it. But I didnt see any of that black pitting that some people talk about when they run e85. And Ive been on it for 3 years now.

Cleaning out garage after car has been hibernating.

Ive bled the shit out of the brakes yesterday. Brake pedal feels abit soft. Do have new pads. While the car was standing the reservoir was empty, soooo I presume the ABS unit was also drained. Am I meant to be doing something specific to get the air out of the ABS? There seems to be zero air in the lines.

Ill go for a proper drive, bed brakes in and see how it goes.

ok,

brakes are now all good. have feeling no spongy pedal and no squeals.

Had some trouble bedding them in as they just started squealing for a while. So I did decided to go harder on the stopping, few of those cleared it right up haha. QFM HPX are pretty good for a street pad Id say. Doesnt look like they throw much dust which is always a bonus.

My racepace front pipe was no where near to fitting on the car. But after countless alterations, it now is now the highest sitting 3"-3.5" front pipe I have seen to date, only sits just lower of the x member. Sounds pretty grumpy now.

If anyone wants a great exhaust shop around the central coast region, I highly recommend TM Performance exhaust in Erina. David is an absolute legend.

Car is booked in for a touch up tune so I will be sure to update then.

Time to try some of this stuff. It gets a good rap from the guys over on the detail forums. Meant to last a few months aswell.

It's brilliant stuff; one of my detailer mates put me on to it.

So good on dark coloured cars.

Update on collinite.

I love it! Best wax/sealant I have ever used. This is only based on ease of application and the fact that I experience zero smudge.

Out of all waxes I have used, none have removed as easy as this one.

Stay tuned for longevity test. Let's see how long it will bead.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
