again, your right-foot is a cheap source of boost control

Verms this is NO attack on you or anyone in particular. if you (anyone) cant control boost via your right-foot, then its time to do an advanced driving course. i drove my S15 around with no boost controller on it at all (ie maximum boost from the turbo potentially) for over 2 weeks. didnt blow anything up! im also not that good a driver and i managed it

nah there is more room than you think!

there is a cheaper way to regulate boost. dont open the throttle as far and dont rev the engine harder than you need to. ive never understood why people have 2 or more boost settings. if one is for rainy weather, just dont accelerate as hard. its quite simple.

thats pretty good! at least they show for the turnout! did i mention the girl in that video is hot? because she is (facebook stalking time)

a falcon probably has more functions than a stagea, but that doesnt mean it does any of them better! when it comes down to it, an EBC can have a million functions, but youll use it on the high setting all the time. after its set, you wont touch it again.

how many stageas in SA?

ok i think you misunderstood me, i dont care about anything or anyone else in that video except for the girl! kidding! looks like it was a good turnout for the stagea meet, next time we have one we should do video too! and maybe have it during daylight hours

who's the girl??

yeah because the alfa 159 is the most reliable car around stageas ARE a good bang for your buck, and they are cheap to maintain. we are just saying you wont find one in the condition you want for the price you want

it makes me think of the old saying 'you get what you pay for'

agreed x 1000 he already owns an alfa, he knows how much servicing on a euro costs.

well, post up when you get one you generally pay a little more for a better coonditioned car. and i rekon if youre not buying one FOB then it will have over 100k on the clock. not that its a bad thing, people have over 200k on the original motor and its still going fine

so buy an audi lol and if you re-read my post, i said you wont find anything in the condition you describe for that price. youll get something with over 100k on the clock for under 14k

for $14500 you wont get much of an M35 unless you import it yourself and find it cheap enough. with those options youll be looking for an RS with leather option but over $16k i rekon

wow thats coming from aaron too. and he doesnt even like his car right now!

i meant the general chat thread as this one is about oil

dont do that now, you just publicly announced it. insurance wont pay out lol whats the problem now? perhaps in another thread relevant to that subject

can i join them? WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE ANY OTHER OIL FILTER, THE FACTORY ONE IS FINE thanks dude i feel better lol

ok my head unit is now wired in, tuner to the aux input, all working and extremely happy!! i can operate the aux and still have the ipod plugged in i guess you guys cant due to the optical drive taking up one of the 4 selection points on the screen. so it changes the USB/ipod one to AUX when nothing is plugged in. me=happy as! just gotta get a wire down to the rear to activate the aux input to the tv tuner so i can show ipod videos on the screen.

nah there is another box in the boot near the pump etc. but inside the cabin next to the fluid cannister

ive wound mine tight as im not a pussy anyway the softer damper settings are very good, and wife/gf/fcuk buddy friendly. harden them up and they only get better. just dont go too firm as its not really suitable for the street and street tyres. full height adjustment and spring pre-load is good to have also! front and rear too ohh AFAIK justjap sell an $1100 set and $1300. i believe its the damper cartridge that is different........

different sized filters affect oil pressure. not something you want to be playing with! bigger doesnt always mean better.

why on earth did you do that??? its like swapping a stagea for a falcon wagon

ohh thats awesome Leon! damn i wish my clarion did that. but im just happy it has great sound
