Prank, thanks dude. Yeah the funky bonnet vent is there. It's actually getting a respray while the car is in the shop. If you remember, it had a black finish. Will be same colour as car now in a semi-matt finish as it's fibreglass. If they don't use matt, the ripples will show too much.

Do you go to BD4's as well? They are the best tune-shop in my books. Well, I might be a bit biased but they are good. :)

megs, ha ha ha!! i know what thats like!!

ONARUN,

no mate, i *did* but paul and I (or BD4's and i) dont really get along any more....

i wont get into it mate, i dont want anything being said about any business' on the boards.

Prank,

The stuff I used was AlcoBond. It's two sheets of 1mm aluminium seperated by 3mm of plastic. It has really good reflective and heat insulation properties. Then on the inside I coated it with the clark rubber insulating foam stuff.

Works well, and looks good too. lol

Hey Jay95, nice airbox man

My future plans revolve around tempratures, with the exhaust done I'm currently lookingsaving for the frount mount IC. Secondly with the Jay's pics as inspiration I start building my cold air box tomorrow.

Soooo, can anyone tell me what's the difference's between my current K&N pod filter (the big one, about 25cm) and Jay's smaller filter. Is it just a different sucking sound?

just spray it with de-greaser and clean it... buy two so when ones drying you can use the other.

i bought a new one and it was as dirty as my old one within a week... i am not gonna buy a new pad every week.

Not yet !!!!

But it's not too far away. In the next few weeks I should have something for you guys.

Looks like I'll have to buy a reem of paper and a box of 50 stamps cause that's about how many people are after it LOL.

But yeah, I've just got to get the time to do it.

I'm getting a 3 inch mandrel font pipe put on on this Saturday morning. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
