Hehe, here's what it looks like in daylight on long exposure... I haven't waterproofed the light yet, so I gotta take it out n do that, any ideas on how to waterproof?

Also in the pic is the 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust that Tuffy's mufflers in Syd fitted at an extortionist price.

Enjoy...

Tonys Mufflers charged you an arm and a leg for the exhaust??

Their usually very good for me,

Last time i got a full 3 inch zorst fitted with a canon style muffler for $1150.00

High flow cat and all?

Not that bad i reckon

Well they charged me $900 for a cat back stainless steel system with a hi flow cat and magnaflow muffler. I already had the stainless steel extractors on mine. The old mild steel one had fubar'd. I was in a hurry coz I had to leave syd the next day so they managed to do it for me in 4 hours. But yeah, i got quoted afterwards for around $700-$800 for the same system.

Either way, i luv the new zorst, it made a pretty big difference.

I lived on Blaxland Rd about 500m away when I lived in Syd, so I was like "ah yeh, these guys kno me, they won't rip me off"... i dunno...

ewww blue... i dunno I don't want like the whole rainbow on the back of my car... the stove plates are red, so I think i'll keep with that whole "red is for stop" brakelight theme.

It uses a reddy/orange 12" cold cathode from Jaycar :D Getting it to work even when it rains is another story...

The thingy is just for r32's coz the behind of a 32 is different to a 33... 33's have a slim thing at the bottom made completely of transparent plastic.

Plus I have a GT wing that I bought like in April sometime, but never put onto the car, if I take the factory spoiler off I'll need to use somethign as a brakelight, and I might be able to use this as a high mount brake light. I dunno about that yet, coz I gotta ring up VicRoads n ask em.

    • I think last I checked it was 35cm from fender to wheel center. I heard u can go up to 45-48cm before handling his impacted. But I need to check again. I know I was about 1.2 cm off being close to max recommended. 
    • You'd need to weld on an external gate to achieve that number though. I can't remember seeing anyone make 500hp at the wheels with the stock manifold / internally gated turbo.
    • Suspension Component Question Looking for some feedback based on people's experiences! I know this has been loosely covered in other threads but I can't find any direct answers/experience. I'm up for some bush/rod replacements and was interested in a hybrid approach between hardened rubber and pillowball kit. Why not choose one or the other? Well, this is for my daily driver, which I track once or twice a year. I like a stiff car and a sporty feel but I don't want to compromise the chassis too much with 100% pillowball gadgetry.  I know from experience and a tonne of reading that not all components affect ride quality in the same way - eg. in my case, coilover top mounts should be hardened rubber as pillowball transfers way too many undesirable qualities and doesn't have much more upside than a good hardened rubber. But, pillowball tension rods translate to much better turn-in/steering response and make the car significantly sharper, without negatively impacting ride quality in a significant way.  I'm not TOO bothered by NVH (to a degree). So, with context out of the way, does anyone have any experience with a hybrid approach as mentioned above? I'm going to replace all components over time so am seeking guidance on: - front tension rods - upper camber arms - rear lower control arm - rear traction rod - rear upper camber arm - rear toe adjuster rod  Secondly, is there any reason why this is a bad idea? Or any other info/wisdom that I might not be considering. Cheers 🫶
    • That's good to hear I'll stick with the stock I hear they are good for 500hp and I'm only shooting for 350-400 once I can get this thing sorted and get to actually building it. 
    • The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.
