    Nice to see a Gf getting love! Hmm you sort of need to ditch the ac.. it's not like where in australia where you need it. If your going to keep it though might be less head ache not flipping the manifold and run extra piping.. it's Gona lag with a big snail on it ne way. Never seen a flipped mani running ac but there is always first time for everything lol

    Usually it's the bend from throttle body that touches because of the angle..I have no experience with V7 but see no one else has any comments.. I know you can't really go anymore than 10 mm with a v4 manifold I would imagine it would be a similar situation with the V7 mani. Would be best if you trial and error it yourself with the bend coming off the throttle body

    I recently got an escort 8500 xr. I'm a poor student so I picked it up 2nd hand for $200. TBH it drives me mental with the false k-band alerts. I would highly recommend getting one with gps and one that can ignore repeated false alerts. It does a good job of picking up radars when they're turned on (like 2kms away on a straight road in town) . I find abou 70% of police don't have radars on so if you're doing illegals(skids n such) it won't help in the slightest.

    Do police actually use k-band or should I just turn it off?

    Turn it off then, you radar won't be able to pickup the low pulse kband used by some nz speed camera's

    My old passport max could pick then up wasn't a lot of time to slow down though like ka band.

    I sold it on to buy something else and been waiting for the release of the international max2(with bluetooth) but nothing has become available.

    I have put my name down for the max360 international presale but it could be awhile before a international model is available.

    fwiw the passport max i owned had extremely accurate and fast reaction from the gps signal, once you adjust your speed you can't even count 1 second before the speed changes to what you are doing on the radar.

    Damn 2500 for a 6mt DCCD box would be mint. Would love to be able to have a play with that. Not really needed but would like it either way

    I seen a v7 spec c dccd 6 speed go on tm for 2800 not to long ago. I picked up a rolled v3sti gc8 off trademe about 3 years ago for 2g had v8 sti box and was a runner.

    Its the waiting game though and you have to be quick!
