Need a Hi-Flow Cat >> where to get one @ good $??


Recommended Posts

Flying performance (www.flyn.com.au) are selling 8L High Flow Cats. I think they may even be Catco ones, on Ebay starting bid $199. I got one for $200. It's on the way. Or you can buy straight from their website for about $250.

dont expect the the rwc thing will be cut and dry, my rwc cos me $1200 and took a week to get sorted.

things to look for

tyres, any sign of wear at all

sterring wheel, if not stock

make sure the places acually knows what size rotors your brakes are supposed to have

any body damage that may have taken place during shipage, look underneath the body

robin once u have it complied i know a place where u can get a good RWC from... they dont try and rip u off like everyone else

burkey - dont worry mate.. u will learn to ignore his ranting

lol who cares... shut up denham and let him get a cat :)

dont listen to denham blackrobin... no one else does ;)

what does a radiator air guide do again nark? divert air AWAY from the radiator hey? :)

We all know that blackrobin is gonna go back to the cat that came on the car from japan after the rwc ;)

i didnt say it diverted it away u idiot... i didnt see the point as air was gonna get to it anyway.

anyway... just get a catco.

Back to square 1...

Failed my RWC today + still have no Engineering certificate also... my Registration was booked in for tomorrow. Not going well at the moment.

Driving the car with the standard feels like I got BIG MUMMA LISA is sitting in the back seat and they also chucked on a resinator about the size of 3 melways stacked on top of each other.

Inark.. I will send you a PM for the roadworthy place.... this list was given to me by RWC place to get fixed / looked at.

External wastegate

Drilled rear rotors have hairline cracks (common for drilled rotors yeh?)

Turbo Timer (easy fix)

Horn (because it was stolen by shipping co. - also easy fix)

Battery clamp (original battery went flat and could not hold a charge so bought a new one, smaller - easy fix)

Tank exhaust sheild to close to my milo tin (easy fix)

I pick the good ones don't I...

Thanks for your help and advice so far... I'm starting to hate my car and I've only driven it about 45km TOTAL.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
