also, (and I'm purely guessing here), but wouldn't relocating the AFM anywhere in the intake not solve the problems its causing (given that it is the AFM, and given that it's caused by the air coming out/confused). Even if you have the AFM right before the throttle body, when the throttle closed then there's still going to be airflowing backwards isn't there? As the changes in airflow/pressure occur after the thottle..... right? I guess if the AFM's old then you could just try swapping it and seeing what happens? You can try mine if you want.

wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to get another second hand stock BOV? or crossover pipe if needed? Or do you secretly like the flutterz??

ahahahahahhaah thats hilarious, even the peron behind the desk thought it was funny..

I've done this quite a few times now. THe first time I just used degreaser and a rag and got most of the dirt off. But there was so much there. So, I took the coilpack cover off, packed it with absorbent towl stuff, then put it back on and blocked off everything important. Then I sprayed degreaser everywhere, and let if sit for while so that it really started cleaning up... Then I sprayed it off with a hose. I wasn't too keen on using a water compressor though just because of the electrics. Since then i've pretty much done all that, except I didn't have to do it 2 or 3 times (degrease, rinse, degrease, rinse) because there isn't THAT much dirt. Aftwards if you want a really nice shine (and smell...) then spray 'inox' on stuff (especially rubber things) and it gives it all a real nice glow. It only really lasts a couple of weeks though, so I wouldn't really bother unless you were going to a show and shine or something....

Thanks lads. I'm wanting to run the cat around the straight pipe, but I'm trying to get a realisitc idea of what I'm actually getting myself into here... re, fines etc..

I'm THINKING about running a straight through pipe, what I want to know is how bad is the fine REALLY is for not running a cat? Everyones heard the rumors, but has anyone actually ever heard of getting done?? I'd say there would be a fair few people running straight through pipes around.... Also what is the process? I have more of an understanding that this would be an EPA matter, therefore if a cop pulls you over and happens to look under the car and notice the absence of a cat, surely he isn't going to be able to slap you with a $*insert horrendous figure here* fine on the spot, I would think that he would take photo's and send you to the EPA... by which time you have fitted a workign cat and fixed up all the other goodies. But what about if you happened to drive through a defect station. Are these run in conjunction with the EPA? Are there people there with noise/emissions testers? Or is it bunch of TMU lads going to town with the illegal mods and the like? I've tried googling around the EPA website but I can't really find anything of use.. If anyone could shed some light on the matter it would be appreciated.

Discounts for mention of SAU VIC?

wow, you came to Aus to study at TAFE? Not that there's anything wrong with it, I've just never heard of international students coming over for tafe before. Congrats

I don't talk to my car, but her name is Angelina.

when the court 'makes' you do one of these courses, who has to pay for it? You or the government?

In

Yeah, I'm interested to know what head your running with the RB26 plennum too. If its a 25 head, how easy was the plenum to fit?

Jeez, I payed $38 for mine. Eltham autobarn FTL.

I wish I had foxtel. It's a cool video regardless.

lol Is that the piece of wheel Pat 'souvenired' ?

They actually turned out alright. Go me!!!

whhhachiiich.... (whip cracks)... Howdy Ho

sort of wishing I had of brought my car. Oh well, I'm still glad I came.

Hey kids, just letting you know Tharaka won't be at the meet point tomorrow, we'll probably see you on the Tulla or something on the way up though

are these compatible with anything? Or do you need a certain kind of wheel to fit? Does it replace the boss kit, or attach to it? Sorry I have no idea how these work.

what did you order?

arrived on Monday I think. Thanks for running this Matt, much appreciated.

still unsure, at this stage will probably be going to Heathcote, so chances are, won't be attending. Thanks for the PM Dan.
