I've got a HKS super drager on the back of my exhuast. Great flow and noise level is 100% legal. Love this muffler.

I've been trying to. The last 20 images have been to big apparently

open them in paint and resize by like 50% and re save and you can upload. takes two seconds.

not allowed to open paint? wow thats extreme! yet you can get personal image on it.. hmmm...

email a few to me if you want and i'll resize and send back =)

Haha we're allowed to use paint - but the uploading is the issue.

Thanks for the offer - I've e-mailed some images back to me so I'll chop and change them this weekend and put up a new one :)

Haha your offer was very kind of you :)

It's the uploading process it seems. I put any picture up and it says it's too big. I'll give it a crack at home and if all else fails I will just have to stick bluetac on my screen with a nice cut-out photo :D

Yeah its funny, you have to play around with different sizes to get it to work.

It doesnt always work with the exact dimensions it asks for. Computers aye.

Today i blasted some speed holes through the inner guards with the welder. >_<

Whoops! No pics till i get some bog and paint to hide my shameful welding.

Well not today, but yesterday... had new rear rotors put on. Also had my car dynoed - 185.8rwkw. Not bad for a stock 1j vvti with a catback and auto .. pretty happy with that :) running quite rich though, like all Toyota's haha

may have found a manual conversion kit too

Oh wow! Wasn't expecting that. I was thinking Engine Bits not Engine Bay.

Very Nice. You still going Green? Did you see the Green GTR I posted in your Clear vs Orange indicator thread?

Ive spent hours stripping the paint, sanding and polishing my valley cover.

At first it was a bit lumpy, but ive got it good now, sanded nice and flat, just needs final polish.

Hey Rob, if you want those cam covers shiny and never have to polish again.......

Ever do metalwork at school? remember that Josco buffing compound?

Its REALLY good, very effective. you can buff it so hard even the gouges from the grinder get polished.

And then this clear adhesion promoter, and clear gloss over that, even the tie coat is glossy so you wouldnt really need more clear.

So its polished under the paint, and as you know bare alloy oxidises nearly instantly, but this cant happen now with a protective coating. And no more oil or coolant stains that take ages to buff out.

Anyway you can borrow if you want.

Sweet. Yeah that Resin stuff for the Buffing wheel in Metal Work was exactly what I thought of.

Could use this on my wheels too and get me some shiny back. ;)

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
