Recommended Posts

You and Mark need to start a new Project thread so we can all watch the fun unfold.

Got that oil out of your eye yet Mark? :)

used the schnitzer which does

argued the point why boxes couldnt go on the newly reconditioned leather seats

argued the point why boxes couldnt go in the boot next to the speakers

realised the car is impracticle

Hope no one pings me for this. But www.next-car.co.nz =) Sites brand new though... so only few cars on there.

Thanks for reminding me, I got a few members on here I need to sort out concerning that race car.

Drove to Auckland, picked up a towbar, drove home, spent about 3hrs trying to put it on. All done apart from the wiring, and handily enough my car already had a hole for the wiring to go through as well as holes in the bumper for the plug to screw to.

Biggest prick was that one of the bumper mounting tabs on the towbar was bent, which then meant the bumper didnt fit back on properly. Trying to line up the screws on the side of the rear bumper was a mission and a half!

C0SM0S got a new exhaust system yesterday.

After trying a twin system from a 328 I still wasn't happy, so I took it to "Al's Mufflers" in Target Rd. and had an entire new system fitted. Gone are the "cats" and it now sports 2" twin pipes from the headers, a pair of 'Cobys' which go into a single pipe at the diff, then a sports muffler with an oval tail pipe.

Driving it home yesterday I was surprised at the difference in performance. The car really wants to boogey, and the sound under torque is out of this world. I'm in heaven.

Next step is a K&N panel filter, an E20 flywheel (lightened and balanced, then off to Gavin's for a remap). Should go bloody well after that.
