BFHOON

yes I got a more than fair payout and pro rata long service. the tax is pretty much set in stone now they were waiting for a recent senate sitting to plead there case. I had an idea it was going bad but thought they would stick it out a bit longer, anyway life goes on. nothing planned yet senna mabee go fishing.

its around 15 psi, no turbo mods at all. mine seems to hold 15 tapering down to 14.7 on the rev, stock actuator and wastegate. im using a high flow cat on the stock rear pipes with the centre muffler removed. it has enough flow to make boost but not too much flow as to create boost creep.

on the topic of jobs kevin rudd gave me the final kick in the teeth today. due to his alcohol tax demand for rtd`s has fallen to the point where a sydney plant is no longer needed to maintain supply. the big boss came today handing out envelopes so now im unemployed after 9 years service.

I have to say this is how rocket works. I think that's why they have those seats in the waiting area. when I was there a well known tuner turned up and was ushered out the side door for personal service.

I use the heel toe method to get about 2500 rpm and try and slip it a little (aftermarket clutch) you have to feel it, this gives me a little squeal on takeoff without frying the tyres. I also use low boost in 1st gear and untill second stops spinning then hit it with full boost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFi7zfMWE1M

the second run was perfect, drifted a bit to the middle but spot on.

I have been told that the bf turbos have a clip to stop waste gate rotation being why ba`s overboost more.

only thing I would like back is the blue background. white is too bright.

heres the latest from police media. Thursday, 24 Jul 2008 05:29am Two men will lose their licenses after an illegal street race on the M7 motorway in western Sydney overnight which resulted in a serious collision. About 9.30pm Quakers Hill Police and emergency services were called to the scene of the collision on the M7 about 1km west of the Sunnyholt Road exit at Quakers Hill. Investigations into the collision are continuing, however witnesses have told police that the vehicles were street racing prior to the collision. It appears that the vehicles, a Ford XR6 Turbo ute and a Ford XR6 Turbo sedan, collided while racing east bound on the M7. Both then collided with a wire guard rail, a solid electronic overhead sign and an electrical power box. The sedan then came to rest on its roof and caught fire. Police who attended the scene extinguished the fire prior to the arrival of Fire Brigade officers. The 21-year-old Baulkham Hills driver of the sedan and his 22-year-old male passenger from Glenhaven escaped the crash with minor injuries and were taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition. The driver of the ute, a 22-year-old P2 provisional license holder from Maroota, was uninjured. Both men will be charged with street racing, drive in a manner dangerous and traffic offences. Both men will have their license suspended and are due appear at Blacktown Local Court on a later date. Anyone who witnessed the collision who has not yet spoken to police is urged to contact Quakers Hill Police on (02) 9678 8999 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

here is a pic of mine lights off and on. I cant tell you if they will direct swap with the typhoon gear as mine had no guages there before. I also only got boost and air fuel, every thing was supplied in the box as far as senders goes.

I was under the impression that they are auto meter lookalike`s. people oftern say to me hey are they autometer then on a second look they notice. I payed $50 each from autobarn.

ok, they say to remove the fuses because it may take a long time to adjust the settings, in some cars the fuel pump runs with the key on and the fan running. our cars have relays and other computer controls so this removal of fuses is NOT NEEDED. I have used mine without removing the fuses and have spent 10 minutes with the reds on adjusting the settings and have had no problems. just plug it in (reds off) and follow the on screen prompts and you will be sweet. as senna said gap your plugs put in some 98 or 100 octane fuel and enjoy. if you are using generic tunes please take your car to a local dyno/ tune shop for a power run to check your air fuel ratios and have them listn for or better use a knock sensor to check for ping/rattle. if you cant I suggest removing 5 degrees of global spark for additional safety.

its a good idea. iv sent off some $

I can recomend the hurricane 5 incher from liverpool exhaust. they can ship them wherever u want.

it hits pretty hard. when con test drove it even he came back with a smile on his face saying it runs like one of the big guns. I was planing on going for 400 rwkw soon but after speaking with a few members I will be only pushing my forged motor to 350 to save the box and diff from exploding and all the other expensive problems that come from low 400`s. in 3rd gear on a private road I can hold it flat and under load leave 2 black lines behind with no effort at all.

you havnt seen scribr`s yaris have you.

the data logging works well on this unit. some voltage conversions are needed but anyone with some scence can do this.

no more than 400 I think. if somone was to spend a whole day tuning the car under all conditions then mabee a bit more but a good tuner should have it sorted in no more than 5 runs, as fats said before previous r&d should provide a good base for most stages of mods only needing a few tweaks to get it spot on.

you can get a jbl 12 inch 1300w sub in a box with a jbl 200wrms mono amp installed with a level adjuster under your steering wheel and amp install kit for $592. strathfield car radio.

using a proper dry ice setup intake temps of -20 degrees can be obtained. the guys using these setups have to install expensive throttle bodies so as not to freeze open.

LOL

mabee the controler for the long/short runner thingo.

cut up some for sale signs and use gaffa tape to make a dam infront of the intercooler.

I use a giant bath towel, I can get the entire car dry in minutes.

cant they just sell it at the shell near w.s.I.d.
