  1. I reakon they look alright but would be better if they were bigger and maybe lower your car
  2. Its not to hard mate check out some of the threads on here there are a couple of good wrriteups that really helped me (there are a couple of photos in my album of my install that might help although I didnt get AFR)
  3. Cheers Chubbz That would be awesome I really like these shots im hopefully getting having a photo session with matt soon so I will have some more pics to play with wouldnt mind like a series of shots done in different effects for the poolroom haha
  4. stainless will sound different to mild steel slightly some people will say different but it does (different resonation) shouldnt be any difference between brands if the bends are in the same place in the system I had a full "mandrel" bent on my EB fairmont including strakkies but then my mate welded a stainless exhaust out of 316 stainless with proper manufactured bends (extruded from factory not bent) and it sounded heaps different exhausts are like a lot of things though they are all relative what you think sounds good your mate will think sounds droney and sh*ty
  5. Nang if you are talking about the ute? that is mine and yep they are guantlets 20"
  6. was thinking of the same thing insurance wise although considering all my mods brakes prob wont mean much
  7. yeh its amazing to think that when they first come out car dealers (in wa at least) were willing to give you more than you paid new to get one as they couldnt keep up with new car orders (goes for the n/a too) ah well I bought mine as a long term thrill not a short term trade car that's what the family car is for
  8. Chubz you are a bloody artist mate they look friggin awesome I wanna get a big one printed up for my gamesroom my ute has never looked so good how big do you reakon you could go before oyu started loosing quality was thinking of getting my AV one done on canvas shame about the crumpledoor in the reflection haha (just jokes ralfus)
  9. yes you could polish it but it would take a fair but if work you will need to wet and dry it in stages (rough to fine) before giving it a polish I would consider going to a polisher but not sure how much they would charge if you want a polished cooler and dont wanna spend the bucks on a Plazmaman/Rapid etc.. consider a monza or similar im pretty sure they would flow about the same as the F6 one (or more) and they already polished and yes they are easy to fit bluute
  10. Should be on or abouts the 1k mark just make sure whoever you go through has insurance on the car while travelling door to door
  11. that pic of the F6 engine looks like he has it inline as well as a turbo ??
  12. Champ you have an xr 6 turbo not an xr 8 the two are never gonna sound the same if you ar after a "burble" you should consider "hot dogs" or "resonators" in place of your centre muffler instead if just straight through pipe and yes a better rear muff and cat will help that is a cheaper way of doing it but take it from experience I would get a decent full exhaust first time round I wish I did I will eventually but it will prob mean a re-tune and more $$$ I know its tempting mate but hang on that little while longer and put some more sheckles away and get the good gear first time you wont regrett it cheers scotty
  13. bluute

    Powaaa

    you will want to do the cat before you get your tune done mate if you replace it afterwords you will need a re-tune I would throw a better intercooler on your list if you only want 250-70rwkw's then a wog/monza/ebay one will do the job but trust me when I say once the power bug hits you wont be able to stop so consider saving a little more and get an intercooler kit from Rapid/Process West/plazmaman the all do good kits at resonable prices (stage 2's around $1900 bucks) your gonna love the power mate have fun
  14. yeh mate easy to do the instructions in the how to guide were a big help I did mine, oil temp/oil press/boost all in a day ive got a couple of saps in my photo albe you can check out also good luck
  15. just a guess but I would say your tune should sort it out you now have a whole lot of airflow with the exhaust mods and intercooler and the ubp will suck in more cool fresh air than your dose set up would have just be carefull how you drive your prime for overboost oh love the rims too looks sweet man
  16. howdy just wandering if anyone out there does pre made braided line kits for our cars or if you have to piece them together yourself also anyone with an engine bay full of braided lines how much does it cost approx? cheers
  17. HA that's gold just the nose would make it into fram I reakon
  18. It can be removed mate same as paint etc.. read the back of the can it has clean-up instructions When you do it you only spray ONE light coat at a time let it touch dry then the next coat it will be impossible to get runs if you do this if the lenses aint coming off easily then turn up the oven temp a little the glue will soften always do it coat by coat putting the lense back on the housing temporarily with tape and slotting it back into the car to check the darkness is advisable too so you get it right the first time
  19. try sticking to the SPEED LIMITS mate and those worries will disapear
  20. true mate I do like the comaro although with the state of GM at the moment I dont thing we will see to many of them :icon8:
  21. Anyone seen these? Appologies if this has been posted before What do people think I personally dont mind it although its just another 2 door commy
  22. interesting idea I like it
  23. they shouldnt mate just be gentle you shold feel whats going on it take as little bit but they come out ok just make sure you remove the lenses and tint the inside mate you will get a much better result that you wont need to maintain ie: buffing/re-spray etc
  24. Looks tops mate my old man has the same car although with the cashmiere leather if you dont mind my asking what did you pay as ive been looking at one over here in perth 6000k on the clock demo all the fruit (sat nav etc) $48990
  25. aww shucks Ive been around mate just not to often interweb has been stuffed at home for ages so I can only get on at work every now and then
