huff3r 347 Report post Posted August 20, 2011 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
