Has a design been agreed upon yet, Danny?

I believe that HDi have bought out Sabre, yes?

I see on their WEBSITE that they have a WRX FMIC that has a 800 x 210 x 100mm intercooler included.

Could be reasonable size for us if it includes the tanks.

Also, intercooler out of the RX7 kit would be an ideal size (if that is core size and the inlet/outlets are in the right position for us) - 660 x 220 x 100mm with 76mm inlet/outlet.

Nope, Saber and HDi are two different companies (although they're only a few suburbs away here in Western Sydney).

Saber is now owned by Fernando Weirhl, who was the driver of the old chrome AutoSalon/Industrie clothing S15. He also owns BBM Motorsports, and the Saber gear is sold out of the same shop-front.

well we are going to try to fit just a fmic 2mrw to see how much clearence we got.

ill keep u guys posted

How did the trial fit go?

Can you see if the guys can use their GT core (but smaller) in the kit?

That's interesting... when I called up "Sabre" from the phone number on their own website, HDi picked up the call.

Are you saying a 3 inch piping will reduce response?

It will a bit but not noticeably, Its the damn throttle that reduces response!

I guess it depends what your planned power output is as above 200 you will definitely want the 3 inch.

Hmm, 2.75... interesing.

Glad to hear it will use their GT tube and fin core ;)

Do you know if the piping be from the turbo, from the hard pipe (which is attached to the turbo) or from the passenger side bend (after the "s" shaped section)?

Also, will it go to the throttle body or will have require a certain somebody's 76mm throttle body pipe (no plugs here Scotty)?

Sorry for all the questions Danny... but always inquisitive

No worries mate, by the way you got the earlier model 76mm the current production run is the same as the throttle body, 80mm. Sorry. :D

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
