What have you done to your car today?

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Bought oil, filter, sump bolt washer and cleaning stuff. Oil change tomorrow!!

[scooby-wrx]

Fitted a 2.5" Divorced downpipe (replaced 3" Siamese pipe with cat.) along with a 3" HKS Hyper Dragger mid / rear. Not as loud as I was expecting, but sounds very different with the extractors.

Still have to heat wrap the down pipe, which I'll most likely do this wkend.

I always find my piston slap is quieter for a week after an oil change, then it's back "Oh is the BeB??"

Nah it always had this ticking noise in it when I got the engine and so I finally got around to pulling the engine apart to see what the muppet did haha he put the engine together with a bent valve and a missing shim

Not exactly my car but I brushed 3 years worth of dust off my flowbench, re-learnt how it's supposed to work, tasted 3 year old water when attempting to replenish the manometer (not high on my list of recommendations), fired up all eight vacuum motors (burnt out the controls for a couple) and did some testing on some restrictors.

Need to do some industrial strength rewiring on the control panel so that it'll run at full strength again but it's good, interesting fun playing around with various ideas and seeing a physical difference. All while trying to not go deaf or lose items of clothing into the test piece! 8x ~2000w vacuum cleaner motors through a 4" bore creates an awesome amount of suck!

I will pretend this has something to do with getting your car ready for Dyno day in November. Go Koom go!

[Koom]

Haha nope. There's no way I'd put a restrictor anywhere near my car!

Still just waiting to clear debt before my car puts me back into the red

Mortgages are hard!

Accepting donations via PayPal. Should start a givealittle campaign but then my first world problems don't really rate very high on the charitable status list.

Last night SAS installed a 3" Turbo back exhaust on my car. Just need to swap the muffler and a few tweaks so the exhaust doesn't hit the car and I'll be away laughing.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Drove it to wanganui.

Ok so, verdict

quieter, more comfortable, more stable, better traction, better balanced, easier to drive, more responsive and better on gas.

F**k i love this car...

still trying to suss seating position, possibly one mofe click back and a bit more telescope on steering wheel. Too much pressure on my right heel = cant walk today lol

[hijacka]

Made 2x 38mm wategates fit nicely on a twin scroll steam up pipe i made, plenty of room! poor little welder was stuggling a bit.

[GC8E2DD]

Replaced my battery.

[loner]

Why'd you mount it sideways Sam? edit: oh I see... terminals on wrong side.

Myself, I changed the rear diff oil in my Leggy and put some alloy D links on my REX.

[Guest]

'bout two hundy. Had to get the terminal adapters too; another twenty slides. I'm sure everyone on here could do better with their trade connections.

[Guest]

If its what i think it is hundy would put one on your door. Ive done a few for local rally guys.
