is that in 18's and if so where do you buy them? David <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's for 18's. I have them on my car now. I know the local dealer here and he fits all the Highway Patrol cars with SO3's so he buys them in bulk. PM me if you want to chase some up. I'm on the central coast area.

You would definately get some attention from the Expensive Daewoo fans out there whether it be good or bad. I think I'd get something that doesn't incite conflict between manufacturers. You would want a pretty tuff car to have GTRETR plates.

If you are interested in getting something with excellent traction without paying 500 per corner then I'd definately suggest the S03. Not as good as the Michilen Pilots but one of the best tyres I've driven on. I can get them for around the $370 mark and they last me around 25000 k's.

Also if an LSD is installed you'll want to have the traction control disconnected perminately in a fairmont. The ABS and traction control functions differently to the XR6T.

As everyone has stated buying the turbo motor and wiring harness is your cheapest option. The N/A motor also has different pistons from the turbo to alow the lower compression and the intake manifold is slightly different in the respect that the turbo doesn't have the variable length intake butterflies. Im guessing you've got something like this Ghia in mind.

Does your car have the edit? If not then I would suggest to get one and some time on the dyno tuning.

Moderate is probably me because there are other things that need to be considered. Like visual and/or direct stimulation from the opposite sex.

I've been trying to fill up with 98 octane fuel for the last few days and the only place in Newcastle that has it is Shell. All the others, Mobil, Caltex and BP all out.

There is no doubt that a larger conductor will improve an electrical circuit by reducing resistance, but would this item really make any difference to the performance of a T. I doubt that very much.

Merry Christmas to all and I hope everyone gets what they wish for.

It's amazing how that little 12A still got up and flew round the track. Would have been good to see the 20B race though. They are quite an impressive motor. I can't imagine the 12A lasting a full Bathurst Race against the 5L.

I'd suggest King springs as well. Super low (SL) for the front and super super low(SSL) for the rear. It levels the car out reasonably well and I have no trouble with my 18's even under hard cornering.

Nice clips, good to see some drifting. Whoever's behind the camera is keen standing on the side of the road though. Makes me think of that rally car and the tree clip.

I thought that my wish list to Santa was all finished but after seeing these photo's everything will have to be rearranged so one of these can fit at the top. Like what's been said many times before, "wow".

My I suggest getting a dump pipe as well as the bigger cat. This will give you good gains and at a resonable price. Just make sure you get a cat that is proven to be a high flow unit rather something that says it's good but is not.

The way understand it is, like what's been said before, when the throttle butterfly closes(when changing in a manual) the compressor wheel continues to spin and produces pressure. When this happens the air has nowhere to go and causes the BOV to open and close fairly rapidly venting it back into the intake. This flutter sound is then heard back through the intake/air filter. Cars with a pod type filter will have a much more apparent sound. I also think it is possible to have a wastegate type flutter when the ecu signals the wastegate to open and close. I'm reasonably sure the wastegate is a simple open/close setup and doesn't have a variable/anologue operation therefore if you are heating up the tyres at the start of a run then the gate will need to open and close rapidly as your boost pressure bounces above and below the maximum boost setting. I think the BOV flutter is the one heard mostly on the T.

I think this sort of thing would be good to have someone with a little time and money to experiment with and see exactly what the current draw would be and what effects this cooling would make. I'd be thinking more along the lines of Cro and encasing the intake piping where there isn't a great deal of air flow past the outside of the Peltier to effect it's cooling operation. Another quick fix that I've seen used to cool the intercooler is spraying it with nitrous for a few seconds before a run. I'm not sure how expensive this process would be though.

Not sure whether this site has been covered before but I thought some of you guys might be interested in a smaller scale of your pride and joy. http://brsmodelcars.com.au/eshop1/classic-...rs-c-21_37.html

I'm sure there would be people that will take offence to that but as far as I'm concerned he gets what he deserves. Can't believe the Australian Government is bargaining to have the decision changed.

If you've gone to the 235/35zr19 tyres then the rolling diameter of the tyre should be very close to that of an 235/40zr18 so I can't imagine the tyre being any further up under that guard than an 18" wheel would. Might I suggest getting th SL's for the front and SSL's for the rear, this is what I have, like many others hear and it looks great. Make sure you post some pics when finished.

I've got 18% on mine and I probably wouldn't have it any darker, as people have already said at night it can quite difficult to see out of anything under 18. I wouldn't get my windsceen done mainly for the fact it's illegal to have any grade after market tint applied and it's really obvious when done.

So what size/brand is that turbo, obviously externally gated.

Have a talk to John (owner) at RX Engineering they have a neat workshop and is not a bad tuner. Also Anthony Collins (good tuner) at Turbotechnics, Mitchell Rd Cardiff is another option if closer to Newcastle is acceptable. I would be keen to come and have a look which ever day is decided.

I've got a Nikon F60 SLR which is a really good camera but not digital. Also got a Olympus MJU600 that has got some great picture presets that work well.
