No pics tonight but will get some tomorrow... as for the specs, twin pipes all the way to the cat, custom made by Andrew at AM Performance, can't recommend him enough!

You got the AM hi flow cat as well? Getting shit all over the rear bar?

I went to Pearl Jam at war memorial drive tennis courts, what, 14yrs ago. Then thebarton 12yrs ago.

1st one was unreal. Same yr saw SilverChair at the adelaide uni bar. woot

I went to that - it was on my 21st birthday. Bludged uni and spent the day lining up to get a spot right up front. Only problem was that friends came and gave me presents so I had all this stuff to look after. I was in the second row with one of my female friends directly in front of me and I had my arms either side of her, holding the fence to try and prevent her from being crushed. I withstood the Meanies set and about 10 songs by Pearl Jam before exhaustion & dehydration meant I had to leave and get a drink & rest. Had a great night though, not a typical 21st party.

Hey Dion :mrt: been waiting for you to come online.

No Swineflu anymore, yesterday was my first day out of quarantine!

Did you get the measurements for the gtr bar for me? :)

Oooops I forgotz. I will do it today when I get home, if you haven't heard from me by 4 chuck me an sms.

My first car I was an SLR5000 .Anyway I was looking the other day on ebay to see how much i could get for an SLR ashtray and i was amazed at how much these cars go for these days over 20k for a rust bucket. I wish i had of kept it. It was the only car i sold and made money on it. I sold it for 8000 about 10 years ago and if i kept it they reckon it would be worth about 50000 now.

Thought you might like to see my latest purchase, the new Work Emotion 11R rims, just released in Japan. I'm hoping I'll be one of the first in Oz to get them on a car. I bought some in matt black, 18x9.5 +20 all round for the Evo 8. Should fill the guards reasonably well lol...

I'm a big fan of the SLR and was looking at buying one last year ... but the high price tag scared me off. :D

Still want one tho. Maybe a replica :P

Nah, stayed with my Apexi cat, like Andrew said, no point buying one if I already had a good quality one....

Awesome rims there Kristian, what they going on?

    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
