How long do you expect it to take, I'll try an catch-up with you after I've finished work, about 3pm, if your still around.

Get then to ditch your cat at the same time, makes nice flames from the exhaust:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

Adrian,

Don't get too excited on getting your dump pipe in. When I had my front, dump and hi flo cat done I had to run them in a couple of hundred kms to make sure the gaskets had sealed.

Once done, it should give you a meater mid range though. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Run a dump pipe in?

If done right it either seals or it doesn't. You will/should notice better turbo response (down low) and improved top end, along with a bit more boost.

The next thing to do is to wrap it in thermal tape, allth way to the cat.

revvy: so if I get a dump pipe and front pipe, adjust the timing and maybe chuck in an SAFC (we have a 5 knob one sitting around here at home) I should see a nice little bit of difference? also fit my front mount cooler that's been sitting in the garage for the last 3 months!

sup guys

i got called into work tonight as well

ahh what a day

well along with my front pipe today i replace the piping from my muffler to the cat which had a resonator and middle muffler to just straight 3" piping and boy is it loud now lolz

extreme machines seem like real good people

very pricey though

but they do know their stuff and seem to do a top job

so yeah

next week i shall get my screamer pipe in and maybe a highflow cat unsure on the cat yet!

i shall keep yaz posted

Angel ya got pics of ya car?

cheers

adrian

No pictures sorry Adrian. I"ve had it for six months and haven't even taken a photo! How slack is that. I'll catch up with U on the next cruise, or maybe a few of us could meet for coffee (or beer or something), and check out each others machines.

I will take some pictures this week. I am having some leather done on my interior, and I want before and after shots. This means I will have to give it a good wash and detail.

Rev210, the exhaust guy told me there is no point doing the dump pipe without doing the cat as well. Already booked in to do the job anyway, but is it a waste of time putting in a high flow cat?

Angel,

The hi-flow cat is a good idea, but many of us are deciding to run without one at all, just the issue of a possible $10K fine. Definately do the hi-flow cat, otherwise you will have a restriction in the exhaust and defeat the purpose of all the other stuff.

See'ya:burnout:

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
