BOOSTMEISTER: Thnx for the info, and like u said i had already decided to not use a garrett core... to put it bluntly they are one of the hsitest cores i have found!! I have had some very good luck and have got onto a secret i am gunna blow now, that most of the top flowing cores with the leasst pressure drop and still very good cooling efficiency is the new Adrad core which i am jumping to get hold of. As for ARE... they are the end tanks i am after!! If i'm not wong wrong ur a freak... u knew all my moves :(:) Yeah basically they were the people who sorta steered me away from cooler prices. I was after an ARE cooler for my car after many conversations with Richard from ARE via e-m@il i decided to go with one until i thought about what i was paying for it. It was around the 1200 mark which i believe is a bit too much and is the reason i am trying to almost halve that for u guys!! Basically it will be an ARE cooler i am selling.

:mad: no probs mate. I remember when I was looking at my first cooler, I looked at all the Jap stuff ( I used to import straight from Japan) and the ARE stuff was just as expensive, I was about to get a TRUST cooler but after I looked more carefully at the ARE one I realised it was far superior. I guess the thing with price is that Richard runs a business and has to pay high rent, wages and all the other running costs that are associated with owning a business. You have to make profit to run a business I guess :)

There are also other costs that he incurred that you will not have to if you use his designs......you won't need to spend the 800 hours on a flow bench to see if your idea works which will save you money. Also he runs a very expensive welder $38 000 I think, that thing can weld the fins on a core (paper thin alloy) which means that the finish product is beautiful with perfect welds etc.

If you can achieve an equal with their product then fantastic but please don't advertise on here that you are selling an ARE cooler unless it is spot on if you know what I mean

(Don't take offense to this, I am just offering some advice, Richard is a friend and one of the nicest people I have met especially in the aftermarket game, he has spent years and years perfecting his product and doesn't deserve to have his reputation tarnished)

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
