What does it sound like with that now?  Is it just axel back?  Did the brembo 2 pot rears bolt straight on ok?

 

It's pretty loud, probably even too loud for my liking (I am a bit picky when it comes to mufflers/exhausts, spent ages getting it right on my 3.0), it is a catback system - mufflers + mid section. Depends on which Brembo calipers you use -  as far as I know GRB calipers are bolt-on but good luck finding those in NZ, GDB rears need adapters.  Good thing though 5th gen have 190mm handbrake so no more trickery with 170 to 190 step-up as it was with 4th gen.

yup i am definately aware of the leaky boot syndrome, fixed so many cases of this in the past pretty straight foward now with rust converters etc

 

i dont currently have 10 bc5s i have just owned plenty of them in the past, bc5 tattoo?

goshno i only get tattoos of things once ive owned 11 of them :P 

 

This bc5 is the most used ive ever owned, soon to be a sparkling beautiful bc5 specimen, 

getting dropped at the car painters tomorrow for bonnet and roof and boot respray, new sti goodies from a v7 wrx for under the hood, and throwing away all the chrome gauges, silver steering wheel and gear knob for some tasteful black after market versions

 

will definately chuck some pics up, pretty lame having to find an image host site to host images is there a trick to just uploading them on here?

Looking good! Only thing, Why didnt you go for the removeable tow bar. then it would be hidden away when not in use?

 

I didn't put it on, believe all NZ new spec.B came with towbars installed. It is actually removable but I kind of like having it on. Keeps your bumper somewhat safer in tight Auckland's parking lots :)

Doubles as a reversing sensor in some situations too!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
