I dumped some multitrax in the RA the other week. Box already shifted sweet, but it got even better, especially when cold. Recommend.

fuckin good to hear Dave, hope you get a decent amount of bits back. Had he managed to sell much? suppose engine (and all other big money bits) etc is gone?

pfft, mine was in the CPIT carpark, on the same angle and everything So wish my battery wasnt... awol, at the time.

i just did it in front of my garage. the smoke clears pretty quickly.... just dont open the garage and walk straight into it after you have done the clean, without airing the garage out. The fun part was giving it a boost down the street afterwards. mega smoke screen the first time.

http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/virm-in-service-certification/virm-in-service-certification.html The risk of a component (Note 2) hooking a vehicle, or hooking or grazing a person, has not been minimised, eg a bonnet or bumper has been removed, exposing sharp, moving or hot components. 2. An ornamental object or fitting (Note 1) protrudes in such a way that it is likely to injure a person. 3. A protruding object or fitting that has a functional purpose (Note 1) is not installed so that the risk of causing injury to a person is minimised, eg the object or fitting: a) is of excessively heavy construction for the purpose for which it has been fitted, or b) has sharp corners, or c) slopes forward, unless this is necessary to fit the contours of the vehicle, or d) has an unnecessarily wide gap between the object or fitting and the front of the vehicle, or e) exceeds the vehicle’s width by more than 100 mm on either side, other than side mounted glass sheet transport racks and collapsible side mirrors, or f) is a glass sheet transport rack that is not fitted with a front flaring to minimise the risk of injury to a person. 4. A protruding component, object or fitting is not securely attached to the vehicle. 5. A protruding object or fitting adversely affects the driver’s vision or control.

I used a small hacksaw for my last one

a sharp knife blade when heated with a flame seems to do a good job. Kinda smooths off the edges as it cuts. Otherwise as gtlegacy said, if you can take the ends off the brace, and it leaves just a rod (so you can feed it through the holes)... a holesaw through the plastic and some rubber trim to finish it off would look mint.

Its like any mod though... if you buy cheap stuff, dont expect it to perform well. Compared to a decent set of headers, those redline ones are cheap as. Blazd, do you know what sort of powerloss we're talking here?

tbh im not sure what gen D2s they were, all i know is they might as well have just been scaffolding rods instead of coilovers.

Dont think it matters for Daxter, being its his daily and all. Hardly a fail (pay fuckall for them, get fuckall performance), but interesting to know none the less.

Damnit, i know where that is... went there with my slr, went to take pic.... no battery. BASTARD! Will try again tomorrow if noone else gets it first.

What brand are they, Cuddas?

Just noticed Daxters headers hang BELOW the tow hooks.... definitely wouldnt last a day on my car. The tow hooks barely do

Stuff using an engine crane on grass tho, lol. Been there done that.... except with an RB hanging off it!

Got golds in my GC8. IMO VERY good shocks for the money. No comparison to D2s... D2s should NEVER have been made, they are that shit. Only issue i have with mine, is who ever set them up initially had all the damper settings on the piss (different on all corners... drastically), and has set WAY too much preload on them. The preload is to the point where if i wind it out and set it correctly, im pretty sure my car will lower to the point itll be below certed height ( and then ill need to wind up the actual height adjusters). This makes them a little crashy over bumps, but not to the point they are painful (unlike those damn D2s). Just set them up correctly (very little preload), and they will be sweet.

Jeez, they do hang low. Would a factory bash plate (if you can get them for wrx? i know legacy ones exist) fit over them? Theyd get mashed in a day on my car, and its not even THAT low really. Also, each to their own, but i miss the sound of my old GTB that had twinscroll equal length headers on it. Was more an evo sound than a honda sound. Very aggressive.

First direct injection engine by Subaru?

Kills a lot more than just subbies i hear. Seems to like evos too.

Jeez, calm down chap, I obviously just missed where it was pointed out. I'm not that much of a noob either, my date registered ain't far from yours.

Out of context, Keep it on the track. Same goes for drifting, skids etc, keep it in a controlled environment.

Look like red 4 pots to me

S401's? No. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Legacy_(third_generation)#Legacy_STi_S401_version_.282002.29 http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~ccgrant/s401.htm

Im not discounting drifting at all, but professional/GOOD drifting is a LONG way out of the reach of the average street burnout kiddie.
