  1. Happy Birthday dutchie!

    Read more  
  2. I can honestly vouch for Mario at Autotechnique in Rowville....... Several of my friends have also gone there and nothing is ever a problem or asking too much.....
  3. I'm down to around 12 city driving and around mid 9's country/freeway...... I do have the edit though and tuned by a good reputable tuner......
  4. I got 20's..........Tint-A-Car Formula 1's.... Life time warranty......very scratch hardy too......99.9 UV blockout.. Last 3 cars have had the same.........yes metallic but never a problem with the radio including AM......would do it again next car......paid $325 middle of last year......normally $395.......
  5. My Tuner down in Melbourne (Autotechnique says that they work on about 25% loss for Autos...........) I have 260RWKW's which equates to 350 at the fly.... Seems its somewhere around 25-30% so I guess 25% is conservative.....
  6. With 240rwkw? or 300rwkw? The auto's (Most) are good for about 240rwkw then you can start by strengthing the bands and pressures etc. Once you do a full auto upgrade $1800 odd then you are good for 300rwkw+ no dramas. Auto are quicker, howevermanuals show more rwkw's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not far off JB.......... I have been running at 255 RWKW's for the past month and started noticing the auto sliping.......fearing the worst, I took it to Preston Auto for strengthening...... Sure enough for $1200 car feels much stronger......and should be good to go to about 350RWKS's.........did'nt really take too long to jump on the band wagon...
  7. I got 259RWKW's but tuned it down to 255 even as I got the odd ping........ Now no problems since changing to BP Ultimate........ Also have larger injectors, BMC filter and some exhaust work done...... Like a few other guys, mine is an auto too and want to nurse it gently....
  8. Someone made a hole in the nudist camp wall.......... Police are still looking into it............ This one of many that I remember too from so long ago........... I'm sure he is making them laugh wherever he is........... Rest in peace.....
  9. I directed another member to Suspension City in Nth Melb. They charge just $80 to fit, if you have your own springs. Alignment, if required, would be on top of course. I dont know anyone out your way Marcel. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was this where you got yours done?? And I assume that's $80 for all four or $80 fitting for each?? Also, apologies for the ignorance, but what is SL & SSL??? thanks heaps...
  10. Thanks guys, gtreat feedback and great picks........gotta admit Flukey, love those rims and how could I not remember your beast JB from dyno day...... O'K, where can I get it done, recommendations and costs now please including fitting......... thanks heaps again...........yep, looks like I too will get this done......God, how do I tell the misses that I need another mod done........Phark !!!
  11. Where did you end up getting your done and approx what price $$$ cheers
  12. Although I have new XR Racing mags on 17s', is it worth lowering it? People seem to like the King Springs, but numerous have not noticed a drop. Seems there is a place in Braeside (Melbourne) doing it for around $220-$250 mark... Is this correct, who is it and is it worth it?? And finally, does it lower the front as I'm already sick of scraping it at times?? thanks in advance.........
  13. sh*t Macka..........how come your off?? Warmer weather?? Take the car with you.......I believe Rego etc is cheaper in Qld........ We were thinking of moving ourselves a few weeks back but decided to put it on hold for the time being...... Real surprise although I can remember you talking about it a while back..... take care and bring the Shaker with you!!!

    Edit Tuner

    Just to clear any confusion, I believe what rboksic meant is 240 to 260 KW at the rear wheels. This being a crapload more than the standard 240KW at the flywheel. To provide a comparison, a standard car will produce anywhere between 185 to 210KW at the rear wheels. Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who gets 260atw with only edit??? 240 yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep agree with you there Flukeyluke..........have'nt heard of a standard edit going higher then around 245-250 without some other enhancements.......
  15. Still very low for Optimax........I run the same........sure I have bigger injectors, BMC Filter and exhaust but I still get 259 RWKW's as well...... I had pinging issues on Mobile and BP....(go figure)........ Might be worth getting 42 pound injectors to get some cheap power........ Good luck......

    Edit Tuner

    I have finally finished with my Edit.........Now with 42 Pound injectors, BMC Filter, and Exhaust, we got 259 RWKW's yesterday...... I detuned her to 255 RWKW's even and she's very quick with fuel in city down to 12.3 litres per 100km and country down to 9.3....... Overall, very happy.........my tuner did state that if I got the auto strengthened we could get her to around 280........but I'm more then happy with what I have now....... Just for the record, I use Shell Optimax and no probs there either....... Good luck......
  17. Damn, I've tried both BP and Mobile premium and both had the T surging and pinging its nuts off.........went back to Shell and no probs at all...... In fact I'm getting around 12.3 litres around town and down to 9.6 on country runs..........average around 520 kms per tank now....... Still each car is different.......suppose my tuner tuned the car to take Optimax..
  18. Gee ENVY-T, Where do you get your car serviced.......I just got quoted $280 from a so called dealer sponsor from another forum. (for 30.000kms service as well........) When I phoned back to get a price again without mentioning my details I was quoted $280 again...........what about the 10% discount!!! TOTAL BULLsh*t !!
  19. Thanks guys for the feedback........ Geea, from what you have said, I already had the centre muffler removed and hotdogs put in..........I also had dual 2 1/2" pipes put in together with dual 2 1/2" tips........ As for power, I'm not really interested in more power........what I am really after is sound and was considering first Remus, but now interested in Herrod.. although several exhaust places are pushing their stuff........a high flow cat is an alternative though......ummmmm
  20. Looking at saving up for a full exhaust system from cat back. The contenders are: MagnaFlow Herrod Remus DiFilipo My budget is tight so wondering what everyone's thoughts are.......
  21. Got any prices for us from W.A (even approx $$$) thanks as I too heard got stuff and have been wondering for nearly 6 months but decided to go the CAPA Edit first............
  22. Aumatt, one more question, do you instal it the same way as XXXR6T??? cheers again.......
  23. Aumatt, I just sent you a PM..........for the record, I have a June built 2004 T.........
  24. Possibly looking at getting bigger injectors now..... Roughly, what do they cost? Do the increase/decrease fuel economy? Do they help if the car is pinging? (dont worry my car is fine, more a question I dont no) Any particular brand? If you have the CAPA Edit, will this give you increase power? How long do they take to instal? And finally, will the car need to be retuned? thanks heaps in advance........
