What have you done to your car today?

[Disruptz]

Yay installed my walbro pump, didn\'t prepare for the gobs of fuel that spilled onto the garage floor. up for sale v7sti oem pump ;D

[nickch]

Changed transmission crossmember bushes and installed a group N transmission mount.

I could get used to the whine.

[loner]

If you really like whine, also change the 4 rear diff bushes.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Already done.

Rear diff bushing, outrigger bushings and subframe lock bolts done last December.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Yeah, cocked up steering geometry. Lol. Its not too bad, not noticably stiffer than factory, dropped it maybe 20mm, steering still feels all good, had to adjust some toe settings and redial camber, but its pretty good. On my phone atm, will upload pics once i get home

[boon]

It will bumpsteer like a bastard now

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Nah its pretty good actually. Nothing like my forseter on v7 struts

Oh yeah just had that done, but cusco engine/trans and beatrush pitch, Havn\'t started it up yet, not for a few more weeks to try it :\'( can\'t wait.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

[DRFVDR]

Actually drove it, mother in law borrowed the ute so spent a day in the RX still makes me smile

[DacerX]

Got everything I need for cert! Time to go back and finalize it. Can\'t wait to be able to use it more.

[Fastfour]

Installed a MapDCCD controller. Roll on Taupo!!

[nickch]

Pics of transmission crossmember bushes and transmission mount.

Couldn\'t get the 14mm bolts back to torque spec (70Nm) as they felt like it was borderline shearing!

Ended up lowered the torque on those for the others.

I\'m pretty sure we\'re not getting through to you on this one.

Why do you need over $1000 worth of XS batteries?

2 regular batteries will be 100% completely fine for it unless you plan to run it for extended periods with the engine turned off.

Stop reading American car audio forums where they run 17 enormous batteries for no particular reason other than the fact that they have huge trucks and cheap petrol. It is utterly, utterly pointless to run that much power.

To reiterate, I ran 24000wrms off of 2 105Ah UPS batteries. And it was happy AS. No problems whatsoever.

[Roo]

Lol yup settle the battery situation down

[QRAF]

yeah in the future id like to get some XS and there $350 is the cheapest i\'ve found only the D3100 so far its just the tax bringing them in if i get pulled up about them

but the marine battery i have will do just fine had a lot of people giving me grief about not just getting a capacitor but i have a mean amp that needs as much power as it can have.

I know i\'ve mucked something up as my boost gauge keeps turning off then on when driving so i\'ll have boost then nah so think thats the car telling me to put the wastegate in

[Roo]

I\'m sure you could get vrla batteries locally cheaper than that?

[QRAF]

like i said i\'m not going to be buying anything new for a while until i have two 15\'s or a 21" ;D
