  1. Tooooo many of these "i luv XXXXX" or "XXXXX is the best". Delete this thread and pm the thread starter to do a search or point them in the right direction. My opinion, i will only take my car to 2 w/shops: The one i have been using for the past 5yrs, "EAS Performance" and "Racepace" which i have never used but have only heard and seen top work come out of.

    Haunted Houses?

    Last time i heard it, it was squealing like a pig! :lol: :lol:
  3. I think the factory limiter is set to 7400rpm. I have heard of people poping their engines when they pumped up the limiter to 8000rpm.
  4. As mentioned above, mine are NOT real AVS rims , they are a rip off and made in 19" . They are actually Lenso Muse, 19x8. 3 years ago, when affordable 19's just came on the market, i paid $3600, that also included the tyres, new nuts, 1 set of lock nuts, ballance, alignment and fitting. Tyres: Hankook K104s (These tyres are pretty damn good for their price) F: 245/35/19 R: 275/30/19 And have just recently been powder coated from silver to charcol, giving them a new lease in life :lol: Not a bad result for $120 CameronBNR32: Sorry to divert from your topic, i was originally pointing out that you do not need to buy expevsive rims to make your car look good. If you are happy with the style and colour stick with the Impul. I was not happy with the original colour of my rims as they looked white in photos (i really dislike white rims) and for a mesilly $120 i changed the whole look of the car. They may not be everyones "cup of tea" but i love the change.
  5. Sounds like a good night. Still a little too early to say yes 100% in, but at this stage i am 80% definate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please put your name down here if you are a defiante, also include any guests you want to bring. 1. Adz 2. Dee 3. Al 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
  6. That depends on many things........... Type of car Type of cooler Type of fittings Type of Hose Location of cooler and remote oil filter unit w/shop and quality of install and probably a couple other things i have missed
  7. These rims look great, but get them in black with the polished dish. As stated b4, if you are happy with the impul rims who cares how much they are worth. A few years ago (appox. 3yrs) i bought a cheap set of 19's for my car. I have just changed the colour of the rims, due to a paint job on the car, and the rims now look hotter then ever, so happy with the end result of the whole project. B)
  8. Gary (Sydneykid): Sorry if you had explained this b4, but it is the first time i have read it; Why do you not recommend putting a N1 water pump on a street car? Thanks Alan
  9. Looks like my theories, on progression of modifications, are in line with Gary's (Sydneykid), but i am doing all of them at the same time :lol: Gotta be happy with that! The only concern may be my exhaust system, as i intend to make it even quiter (again). My first system only had a short "hotdog" and a straight through cannon muffler; bloody loud but bareable. My second/current system was changed to a long "hotdog" and a hi-flow muffler, deep on idle but pretty resonable while driving (alot quiter than previous). I am now going to remove the "hotdog" and replace it with a second hi-flow muffler. I have been told that i would only loose a maximum of 5-6rwkw from the original set-up, but am willing to sacrifice a little rwkw to hopefully sneak under the police radar .
  10. Yep, i think it fits 2 cans. Not sure if it is the full sized cans or the "Red Bull" type cans.

    Have you tried UPI: 95556311
  12. But you will never know it's true potential, till you spend the $$$ on them :lol: Just think how much power can be had with a good set of cams and some porting . You can make the same power, using less boost, better response and less stress on the engine.
  13. The next "show 'n shine" is next year :lol:, but last night the committee planned out cruises, events, etc. for the next year and boy is it going to be busy. Make sure all your cars are in drivable condition , otherwise you'll miss out. At least one event per month!

    Epa .. Fine?

    As previously stated, provided the engine has been fully engineered for the car.
  15. Sounds like the original owner ticked all the boxes on the option form. Not sure about the mirror wind deflectors, but the others were factory options.
  16. That would be news to alot of reputable tuners.
  17. He is not using the std rb25 (a/r 0.4#) housing, he is using the vg30 (a/r 0.6#) housing.
  18. Brian you are acting/posing as a independant buyer, when in fact you are a very close friend to Steve. Please don't try to misrepresent yourself. I am sure that the car will speak for itself, once people go and inspect it. Click Here, to refresh your memory. Steve, SORRY to hear about you GREAT misfortune, the loss of a sibling is one of the greatest to bare. Hope your wife and yourself will learn to live with your sons absense and continue on with your own lives. Wish you all the best and good luck with the sale. If i hadn't recently spent a huge amount of money on my car, i would have come to see it in a heart beat. Al
  19. Dark, make sure you are at the next SAU event, i want some nice pics of my car .
  20. Great day! A BIG THANKS to the committee members who put this all together and made our 1st SAU VIC b'day a memerable one. Awesome pics, keep 'em coming.
  21. Nice work, and great report . Are you using factory injectorsand rail? If not, what are you using? Is it possible that at idle the q45 airflow meter is not generating enough voltage for the ecu to recognise? Give us an update on the final result, once it has been tuned.
  22. Great weather, great turn-out, great company, GREAT DAY!! All the car's looked awesome and yet again mine was absent on a important event Well said Geoff and Dezz. Unfortunately some people only think of themselves and do not realise that amongst their fellow enthusiasts they only look like DlCKHEADS with a lack of respect for other motorists Dezz did you come? And what about Abused (Kelvin), didn't see ya there either.
  23. It appears to be off a '95 S1.5 33, and will only suit S1 or S1.5, due to the shape of the headlights. Would help if the pics were bigger
