The Wasteland - ACT Style

[Deziner]

Long shot but does anybody have a front O2 sensor to fit a 2004 XT Forester?

[Manuel Kasko]

Any update Dan?

Nope, nothing

Couldn't see it being ready today or tomorrow now that it's the weekend.

Hopefully it gets organised before I have to head off to NZ. I have a few days off over Easter that I could go get it

Saw this in Woolies. Had a Chuckle.

Anyone ever heard of these guy's?http://www.slideindustries.com.au/product_p/tk-ni-rb.htm

He claims the turbo's and manifold are not made in China.

I've heard of them... Tats too... wouldn't know about the made in China thing though.

Not sure if coincidence but there used to be a place called Sliding Performance in Brisbane that used to sell performance parts.

I'd be wanting to know if they're the same place cause those guys stuffed me and a lot of guys around on orders before they were removed as SAU sponsors.

I was wondering the same thing.

But.....those ,manifolds look China....maybe Taiwanese

either way cheap stainless manifolds suck balls

[zebra]

I should re-phrase that too, all cheap manifolds suck balls

[Deziner]

Thanks guys.

You can pick up a 6Boost manifold, Precision 6262 turbo and waste gate etc. kit for $3200 new off ebay these days.

That sad moment

[Manuel Kasko]

THE CAR IS READY!

Going to hopefully pick it up Friday or organise someone to pick it up tomorrow.

Now suggestions for comprehensive insurance for a 23 year old male with no crash/suspension history?

[Duncan]

try Lumley special vehicles; I found them cheaper than Shannons for the same cover. Good to hear you are getting your hands on it

THE CAR IS READY!

Finally!

I think you need to chuck a sickie and go get it.

Not sure on insurance as I'm Old, but Shannons works for me.

Who is the 33 insured thru? Hit them up.

[Manuel Kasko]

33 is only third party, fire and theft with just car.

But I will have a chat with shannons and Lumley special vehicles tomorrow to get quotes.

[gtr judd]

Have you got it yet? Im excited for you lol

Have you organised someone to pick it up for you? where is it located? If you need a lift tomorrow let me know

[Manuel Kasko]

My uncle is picking it up this afternoon.

Went to send my cousin at lunchtime but they said they were waiting on the plates.

Fingers crossed the plates arrive because otherwise I won't get it before I head to NZ for 3 months

[Manuel Kasko]

Would anyone have some stock rims I could borrow for the weekend?

I'll pickup this afternoon

[Manuel Kasko]

Stock rims & tires sorry

[RosieR34]

Nick was nice enough to sell me his R34 GTR VSPEC II NUR model kit. So got some things to help me out and build it !!!

I'll be going a Bayside blue (Redbull blue) instead of MJade as they didn't have the colour

[Manuel Kasko]

So I got to see/drive the car for tonight. Staying at my Aunty and uncles and it's parked out the front.

I was filled with excitement and the car looks amazing, the paint is great and I love the pearl in the dark. First impressions when I went for a drive was that surprisingly enough my 33 feels 10x better to drive.

I think the coilovers are shot so they will need pulling out and replacing with some nice springs & shocks. The clutch feels a lot different because I'm so used to my heavy duty clutch and my loose gearbox.

Right now the rims are rubbing on the guards and have cracked the paint under it, similar to what happens when you try roll them without heating them.

No backfires or anything but I took it easy because it's got no insurance and needs a good service. Wheel alignment is needed and probably all the suspension looked at.

Very happy with the purchase though and I can't wait to get into some modding when I get back from NZ.
