Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Shocks, springs, sway bars and bump stops are good. Everything else i would be going adjustable arms (you can get adjustable arms with rubber bushes rather than spherical bearings). The sub frame alignment kit http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KCA349 why would he recommend that rather than just replacing the 20 year old bushes?

Also what about the diff mounts, rear lower control arm bushes, bushes in the rear hubs/uprights and more i can't think of now. There are a lot of parts he has left out.

was going to get diff mounts, bushes after mate. As the coilovers and sway bars are more of a priority for me FTM.

Mr Ants, I recommend not doing coilovers and swaybars at the same time.

Makes for a really harsh ride. If your coilovers have hard spring rates, leave stock swaybars in and see how it feels. Likewise, if you have stiff swaybars, chuck them in and maybe go for a softer coilover.

Have a gingerbeer coming out on Thurs arvie Scotty, hopefully can get a roady and rego before the weekend. If so, I might get to the dyno day ;)

oh! I will take that under advisement.

Side note my garage door farked itself last nite.......can't even manually lift the door as it's 100kg and my powerlifting days are well and truly over.

Have to fork out money to repair it now so suspension needs to wait + the Jannica's car and the Ant-eater is stuck for now

Interesting...

The new F1's make 130ish dB. Down from the mid 140's of the V8's but far from quiet. Is it just the turbrah that kills the noise?

I don't care what the numbers say, there is no comparison. I went a few years ago and you NEEDED ear plugs. I didn't take any thinking "bah, I've heard race cars before, I won't need them". I was f*cking wrong and luckily I was able to get some at the track.

They had one old V8 there (RB7) doing the ultimate speed comparison and even just that one running was borderline on wanting to block your ears, but with all 22 of the new ones running you don't even get close to needing them.

dB is a logarithmic scale so a change of 10-15 is significant. But it's not just the volume but the nature of the sound, the old ones sounded just glorious while the new ones sound... agricultural?

I would not be complaining too much about the noise reduction Marty......you have been lucky enough to witness several F1 events live, whilst others have never seen them or may never get the opportunity to see them fly past at full blast

    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
