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:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
