Another for copper. I didn't listen to the sau gods intially many moons ago and bought platinum. Don't think I even got to 20k KMs before they fouled up.

Fyp

Rename to DP

Did someone say brakes and Shenzen in the same sentence. I give you the ultimate.

And you have a broken gearbox.

Address please, I'll be on the next flight in😉

Please post video of said Honda exploding or Mrs kinkstaah wacking you across the head, 😂.

Can't beat em, join em ay. I saw a clip today of a civic with a k20 running 126psi boost, compound setup. Yep that's right 126psi. Freakin Honda's. I think you need to crank that boost some more 😂

Oh well, it was good light entertainment while it lasted 😵‍💫

Dis gonna be good. Gearbox porn.

You'll need to give me cash my way for those brah as they're getting banned soon.

Give ya 20k, a fish tank and a lizard for it. I'll even throw in a pack of Winnie blues.

Dictatorship of VIC. Cops here have the reputation of being cunce to drivers of modified cars.

I've been driving modified shitbox Nissan's in Victoriastan for the last 9 years and have been pulled over exactly 0 times. Actually that's a Iie, I got pulled up once when I blasted past an undercover at 20 k over. Copped a speeding fine only which was surprising considering my wife was yelling abuse at them. Honestly, you don't see many cops on the road anymore. Probably all working from home or just eating donuts back at the station. Just don't drive like a dickhead in the wrong place and you'll be right.

I'm gonna agree with Dose, the M2 is starting to sound like real good value. Can't believe I just said that.

He's probably filled a dumpster with them. Could of made a fortune selling them to scrappies😂

I hear that those yellow ones are better 🤣🤣🤣

She's a keeper.

Not sure what ecu you have again but if it's capable, why not just go DBW throttle body. No need for iacv and probably TPS too. I'm sure @Dose Pipe Sutututu will be here in a moment to say exactly this.

I see 2 bottles of this in your future

@Kinkstaah that video sounds like my Mini Cooper s with open air box, hahaha and the turbo on my RB when it lost a turbine blade. The Audi system doesn't use a tube like that or play the sound through the stereo, it's a standalone speaker. Ze Germans be crazy, add like 600 different modules in a car for no reason and call it technological advancement. @MBS206 I'll put it onto the to do list.

I forgot to mention, there is another speaker/device the Germans call a soundaktor. It's located on the firewall behind the engine and I believe it simulates engine induction sounds. Lol, bloody Germans. Unsurprisingly, this exhaust speaker crap is rife in Euro land. Audi, VW, BMW and Maserati to name a few all use them.

It can be done, there is a sound boosting device that can be custom programmed, lol. At this point, I'll hard pass.

Still waiting on 1 of the engine mounts for the SQ5. Decided to use today's public holiday to tackle 1 of the other things on the to do list and fix the active exhaust. These things have speakers in the exhaust (yes speakers), I suppose that's the easy way to make a diesel sound good. It is a bit of a wank but is OEM and a feature of the car, so would like it working. (I did rig up some test speakers externally and can confirm it sounds alright) The OEM speakers are 2ohm and 6.5 inch and marine grade. Finding suitable replacements that are readily available was a bit of a task, I got some JBL that are 2.3 ohm and 6.5 inch. Unfortunately not marine, I got a bit creative with some waterproof spray and sealant. Will have to see how long they last. The factory ones only seem to last a few years anyway. To replace the speakers, the exhaust needs to be removed and the housings cut open. And open, not so surprising. Corrosion due to water. There was a fair bit of water that came out. The assumption is it's condensation that gathers over time. This would also explain the rusty orange colour inside the exhaust tips. Of course all the bolts where corroded and snapped or had to be grinded off. New holes where redrilled for the new speakers. All cleaned up and ready for the JBLs I decided against welding them back up. Firstly, I hate welding and secondly was worried about potentially melting the new speakers. Considering the pod sits on top, I just sikaflexed them back together and used cable ties to keep them in position until fully set. This will also make it easier to repair again if needed. No grinding required. And finished In a bid to hopefully stop the condensation building up I have drilled a 4mm hole into the bottom pod. Not sure if I'm going to put a screw in and occasionally drain out or if I should just leave it open permanently. Will sleep on it. Refitted exhaust to car and can confirm is now working and sounds good. Can be turned off through the drive select modes if peace and quiet is desired.

FYP, lol😂
