I've got a HKS super drager on the back of my exhuast. Great flow and noise level is 100% legal. Love this muffler.

I've been trying to. The last 20 images have been to big apparently

open them in paint and resize by like 50% and re save and you can upload. takes two seconds.

not allowed to open paint? wow thats extreme! yet you can get personal image on it.. hmmm...

email a few to me if you want and i'll resize and send back =)

Haha we're allowed to use paint - but the uploading is the issue.

Thanks for the offer - I've e-mailed some images back to me so I'll chop and change them this weekend and put up a new one :)

Haha your offer was very kind of you :)

It's the uploading process it seems. I put any picture up and it says it's too big. I'll give it a crack at home and if all else fails I will just have to stick bluetac on my screen with a nice cut-out photo :D

Yeah its funny, you have to play around with different sizes to get it to work.

It doesnt always work with the exact dimensions it asks for. Computers aye.

Today i blasted some speed holes through the inner guards with the welder. >_<

Whoops! No pics till i get some bog and paint to hide my shameful welding.

Well not today, but yesterday... had new rear rotors put on. Also had my car dynoed - 185.8rwkw. Not bad for a stock 1j vvti with a catback and auto .. pretty happy with that :) running quite rich though, like all Toyota's haha

may have found a manual conversion kit too

Oh wow! Wasn't expecting that. I was thinking Engine Bits not Engine Bay.

Very Nice. You still going Green? Did you see the Green GTR I posted in your Clear vs Orange indicator thread?

Ive spent hours stripping the paint, sanding and polishing my valley cover.

At first it was a bit lumpy, but ive got it good now, sanded nice and flat, just needs final polish.

Hey Rob, if you want those cam covers shiny and never have to polish again.......

Ever do metalwork at school? remember that Josco buffing compound?

Its REALLY good, very effective. you can buff it so hard even the gouges from the grinder get polished.

And then this clear adhesion promoter, and clear gloss over that, even the tie coat is glossy so you wouldnt really need more clear.

So its polished under the paint, and as you know bare alloy oxidises nearly instantly, but this cant happen now with a protective coating. And no more oil or coolant stains that take ages to buff out.

Anyway you can borrow if you want.

Sweet. Yeah that Resin stuff for the Buffing wheel in Metal Work was exactly what I thought of.

Could use this on my wheels too and get me some shiny back. ;)

    • Seeing as it's an 04 model, I would be hitting up wreckers first.
    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
