Steve - you are so whipped!

Just bought a fixed bucket seat, cobalt blue, very nice!

[MotoX]

vl turbo clutch LOL with 2800lbs pressure plate.

isnt too much different then stock, but atleast it isnt slipping, and it was cheap.

getting a decent one at a later date.

Finally got my right and left rotors for the rear on Monday and as luck would have it I had an early day care of the wet conditions so I got to fit them today. So now I have the dba 4000 series slotted rotors front and rear. Very cool. I have put the bendix ultimates front and rear as I said before I was running out of money so they were a cheaper option. No performance complaints yet, but then I have been bedding them in so no real chance to test them out. But I will say they are the dustiest pad by far that I have ever used. Not happy about that.

[nismoman18]

just got some race brakes-pads on the fronts and EBC pads on the back, damn they work good!

-got Apexi PFC last Tuesday.

Tuning myself...very easy to do and can experiment careful (as long as you know what you are looking for).

Last Mod:-

fuel economy set to get 800km out of my tank on way to Gladstone earlier this week...a mod that saved me heaps of money

[4 Doorz]

Crap 91 octane plus Octane booster which costed a fortune (and only bumped octane up to 93)absolutely stuffed up that mod

back to 550 km a tank with no power and needing major retarding to stop the ping.

:-(

rural sucks

Steve you have to plan your trips with regard to fuel. When we went to Bundaberg we filled up with BP Ultimate near Nerangba and filled 4 20L jerry cans and we just made it back

[Guest Boxhead]

im not sure how far that is from you, but on wednesday me and a mate went to noosa, we filled the tank up at yatala, and got there, drove around a little, and back to my house at tweed heads without needing more fuel... about 550kms i think... thats before fuel light came on

[Guest Boxhead]

the other weekend, i installed a 16' thermo fan, with the help of drift_me_silly

i think there is much more cold air now on the radiator, and also, the car seems to rev a little more easily.. easy enough to install..

[WHITE R32]

i am still slow....... that is all.....

[MotoX]

i still dont have my licence

[MotoX]

o yeah and i installed my intercooler. jsut need to make the piping up. which is heaps hard.

[NA_R33]

hey all just thought i make a start, i dont think ill ever be finished with my car. I got my r33 gts NA last august and it came bog stock with a HKS Super Drager Exaust and slightly lowered. The next thing to do wwas put the stereo in out of my old car. I then purchased some 17 inch chromies about a month later. Soon after that in went the subs with a basic but still custom install. As i save a bit more money i got both doors and all quarter panels resprayed. Then we were renovating the house and the front gate fell on it putting a hole in the front left quarter panel and bonnet. So back to the panel beaters it went. I soon installed some neons and other interior stuff like EL guages momo wheel and knob.

A little closer to the end of last year mum backed into it so back to the panel beaters again for a front bumper respray and GTR style front grille. I then got my licence in January, only to re end someone 3 days later as some **** WIT cut her off but oh well, if u run up someones arse its ur falt end of story . I then got a boot lip style spoiler. In the last month i have completely re made my boot, which is now no longer a boot. I got it back today from the body shop with a brand new kit and some extractors and an Apexi S-AFC ii is going on in the next 2 weeks. I now have to save very hard to do a 5 stud hub conversion and put some 18's or 19's on it as the kit makes my 17's look like golf buggy wheels.

New Clutch is in w- 2800lb pressure plate.

I think the plate is a Daikin, and the cover was put together by the store. Got it put in @ Direct Clutch in Albion - great to deal with.
