  1. I've being feeling a bit off color the last few days and even resorted to knocking off early and coming home to bed on Tuesday (which is very unusual for me). I told myself it was a virus of some sort and it'd pass. At work yesterday got a up to get a drink from the kitchen and got back to my desk completely stuff (a journey of about 20mtrs) I told my Wife about that last night and she told enough is enough go to the docs tomorrow. So I roll up at the GP's this morning, see the doc. He takes on look at me has a listen to my lungs and says off to the ER for you Son! Off I go to the ER, get triage'd straight into a bed get all usual poking and prodding and X-rays and come to find I've got Pneumonia in my left lung. The Doc's dosed my up on IV antibiotics and monitored me for a few hours and then let me go and I'm now laid up in bed for a few days taking horse sized antibiotics till I go back for another X-ray on Friday I had some grand plans to work on the F6 tomorrow but clearly that's not going to happen! TL:DR? Though it had a bug Turns out it was Lung Aids No fixey fixey Broom Brooms for me this weekend and I'm bored out of my fucking mind already!
  2. Im still trying to wrap my head around less than atmo @ 2000rpm previously
  3. Shannon's most certainly will insure modded cars.
  4. Shame as they where a big supporter or the modded car scene. Shannon's have been great for me.
  5. Someone puts some loose change in the hub cap
  6. It should do. If it doesn't find a bar the right width for the bottom link bars and mount it on there with 4 bushes and some plates. Baxrute, once it's all installed and set up square get the discount bush plates tacked to the diff housing so they don't move around.
  7. I used HF DS years ago, found them to be dusty/noisy and overly aggressive on the discs for no rear benefit in terms of stopping power. I highly rate the NS400's and will be running them once my current hc800's have expired. They (the ns400's)are a great all round street pad. But you can over tax them if you are using the car in motorsport applications, but the same can be said for most street pads to be fair.
  8. Oh Lawd.....how many amp's is the average bit of cat 5 good for?
  9. Air is getting into the system during operation. 4 days appears to be long enough for it to bleed out. Check the obvious connections and alignment of the MC. If it's on the piss it may draw air in during movement. If nothing obvious presents itself topside it's likely a CSC issue. Doubly so if there is black gunk building up in the fluid. Also if you feeling the car move when the syncro's are trying to brake the input shaft motion you're wearing them very quickly. Also, if the clutch point has changed without any mechanical reason (ie after you had the correct PP installed and the crush depth set) but after the MC was changed it's possible the adjustment is incorrect and you're not getting full travel out of the MC.
  10. Yeah, best not lubricant your brakes.
  11. A Christmas tree made from emu export cans?
  12. usually run with "totally not drugs" or "totally not a dildo" just for lulz
  13. Those piping kits suffer really badly from heat soak.
  14. If you want to invest the time and cash, Just do it. Familiarity is the enemy of innovation.
  15. Decent pads a fluid mate. You need a track oriented pad (ie pmu hc800) that cope with the extra heat and a quality silicon based brake fluid.
  16. ^WHS F6 airbox will happily support 340/350rwkw. Those pipes will cost you more power than the airbox.
  17. Fit a swaybar to the rear. It'll stop the torque reaction underloading one tyre.
  18. They are just a v-band clamp but possible a different ID. I just went with the Marmon so If I want to swap to the .94 housing for lol's it's a bolt in deal. I couldn't bring one in from the US any cheaper than GCG could supply so went with them. they knocked $180 odd off the retail total for all the items I bought and covered 5 day freight. Plus IMHO the BW's look wicked compared to a PTE or Garrett.
  19. $1750 landed in Perth for it, the marmon flange and clamp and a couple of odds and sods, from GCG in Syndey. If you're interested I'll pass on the detail of the bloke I dealt with. Very knowledgeable and good to deal with.
  20. The split pulse highmount will help as will the divided housing, housing is 1.01. Obviously, it won't (shouldn't?) spool as quick as the gtx3676r but the pay off should be the extra midrange/top end. Given the wheel is much bigger on the s300-sxe it won't need to spin as quick to produce the same airmass as the gtx3576r so it will be interesting. Not expectation really just doing it for S's&G's EDIT- Sorry Camo, I deleted your double post and for some reason it nuked the original as well.
