Restriction is the turbo exhaust housing I believe...

3" JJR Stainless Bellmouth Dump/Front pipe

3" Highflow cat, which isn't even a 100 cell, I think its 200 or 300?

and it was pretty much a straight though system with the Kaki R (2 mufflers)

You gonna come to the ethanol side anytime soon? Keeps the backside nice and clean :)

Nein... I do too many km's to be even more inconvenienced by needing to be picky about which servo I can go to... Would need to swap turbo to get the most out of the extra power as well...

I only gained 20rwkw up top because of my small turbo, but in some parts of the midrange I gained 40rwkw. Plenty of Uniteds around; there's one 5 mins from where we live (near Alvin) and a 24 hour one off Eastlink in Scoresby. So worth it!

Come on Scotty gimme backup...

You just can't tell some people.

If Simon wants to be different and run Dinofuel who are we to single him out? He will come around one day, probably just after his ring lands go. :P

just too mut f**king around to go etOH,

so i'll stick with dino fuel.

most importantly without a proper jerb, no budget here.

If you've already got a tuned 98 with safe supporting mods, it's as simple as a tune. I don't even have a wideband. For the extra $500 or whatever your tuner charges, worth it to have an ethanol tune stored on a laptop should you want extra power for a given time period. I keep laptop in my car...if I don't have an ethanol station in sight, just go to a place with 98 and switch to 98 tune. Simples.

What do you hate about it? I think it's amazing someone could live like an absolute king in Hanoi. $450/week apartment in Melbourne is about $300 a month there. Get a small passive income and you're set for life. My only complaint was no chocolate milk, and no milk in general. Damn lactose intolerant Asians.

and then the hygiene, middle of town, watched lady carry baby into the street, hold it above the gutter so it could "go potty" then bring it back inside.

    • The only requirements/issue with one piece tail shafts is tail shaft RPM, the length of it, the diameter of it,  the pinion angle, and material used Daily driving at 110 kph it top gear with a one piece will probably never see any harmonic issues at ???? tail shaft RPM, but, at 200kph you might see some harmonic issues if your tail shaft isn't spec'd right I looked into this alot when I was looking at a new tail shaft for my VX SS after it constantly flogged out centre bearings and getting vibration over 160kph, in saying this my "pinion" angle from the gearbox to the centre bearing was the issue, slightly to much angle caused the centre bearing to flog out from harmonic vibration at high tail shaft RPM, but for me the issue was the 12mm lower engine mounts, after getting the angle of the dangle from the transmission to the centre bearing lined up correctly, and to within spec (OEM height poly mounts), the car is happy at 200 kph (125mph at the drags) now even with the OEM spec centre bearing and rebuilt OEM 2 piece tail shaft What's your tail shaft specs?
    • One of the issues Adam mentioned was the tail shaft center bearing being flogged out, I took the shaft down to be rebuilt after a conversation with the owner of the shop it was decided a whole new shaft was the best way to go.    so after taking measurements and waiting a week my new shaft was ready to pick up   new and old shafts next to each other, yes the new one piece shaft and was worried about vibration, after driving the car turns out that there is nothing to worry about
