because dba and bosch are giads when you can pay the same for decent aftermarket gear :)

but he has DBA already...and what you call "decent aftermarket gear" often isn't any better than the DBA or Bosch gear it is just directed at more niche markets...

you get what you pay for, doesn't matter which company you get it from, price usually defines quality..so you wont necessarily get a better product but you may get one more suited to your needs...

wut????????

just stop dave. your emabarasing yourself, me and everyone else here.

have you had you pill today?!

well go and put your pants on and take it.

and forgod sake get back in the house and stop shouting at those kids outside.

anyway just defending my Bosch quickstop brake pads...they are really good, quiet, dustless and quik to stop

DBA discs have been known to fail on racecars, but thats because they are cheap....you get what you pay for...

unless you are English, then apparently you get everything amazing at bargain basement prices...lol

and dont worry dave your butt hurt about my wrecker car costing less to get on the road than your free one will soon be over, im spending a lot of cash at scottys!

I dotn know where you ever got the idea I am butthurt...My cressida is 11ty billion times better than your micra...

hahahah cause it is.

cos its yours.

mike i totalled it up the other week but just to go from wreckers to road, its under 2k. with mods and turbo kit, under 4. when its finsihed.

i could have bought wrx for 5, but this is more fun.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
