i like the blue but she says no dont paint it blue......im thinking the panorama (spelling) silver
paint it silverslate..
brandywine is a very rich metallic red wine colour that sort of flips to black, othewise champagne like vs/vt would look good.
You really need to burn them tail lights. Is this now turbo or did you fit an intercooler too look cool haha

the brandy wine colour sounds nice
and no its not turbo yet im trying to source some silicone joiners for the piping and the turbo can go on it just saves me pulling the front bar off when i do get them as i can see what will happen i will pull the cooler off and i will get some joiners and i will just have to pull the front bar off again to put the cooler back on
All i need is 4x 3" straight joiners and 1 that goes from 2&1/2" to 3" joiner and the turbo can go on![]()
Calais front suits it very nicely, dont like the tail lights though
yeah alot of people dont like them but the missus does and i dont mind them
Well guys just waiting on silicone joiners have got them on the way...
whilst waiting been doing some other stuff...
getting the lsd and turbo brakes and stuff ready to go on...
got some chromies for it to...traded our old wheels that were on it for these all it cost us was $70 to transfer the tread across and thats it didnt pay nothing for the rims and got them from wheels across the road from were we live..havent got pics of the wheels on yet but will get some when i get the centre cap back as he is fixing it atm...
but heres some pics of the lsd and turbo front brakes
![]()
these are the chromies we got i will add more pics soon

heyyy looks good!
question:
because u painted ur whole rotor.. will you now have funny lines when u brake, or will the pads rip it all off and u just cbf masking it up
ive painted two of mine so far and drove for a bout 2 hours and they only had about an hour to drive, there was smoke haha. i masked them up tho.
and, is it just me, or is caliper paint REALLY strong.. i almost passed out! haha.
Hey
cheers, umm not sure but couldn't be stuffed to mask it up, were the brake pad is on the rotor should eventually wear it down but meh! lol
Yeah caliper paint is strong alright lol
and the gloss black i did the diff in really stinks!!! lol
LOL fair enough!
yeshh i did it in the shed on a hot day, it gave me an instant headache and i sat on the groud for a while with head spins LOL.
anyway, looking great,![]()
yeah i did mine outside coz i dont have a shedthats no good for ya lol and thanks well as soon as i put them on will post some pics of before and after lol just to see the difference

mad man looks good now i got an idea of where to put the AFM in the cooler piping
have u made up a flange type thing for the front of the AFM as it has 4 screws usually where it bolts to airbox lid
Well nah i didnt make it but modified it lol
it was on in front of the turbo so i just modified it and put it in the cooler piping
pretty strange, ive got the same type of setup elbow to a pod filter but mine doses/flutters. Tho it might be different because you dont have any load on the motor

it was dosing/fluttering just coz it was of my phone man you cant quite hear it but when youre driving if you hit 10-15psi and then change its LOUD as and sounds sick
you need to record it with a better cam if u can
looking in to turbo fan
sounds good man with what the phone is recording would be heaps better pysically standing there/riding in
yeah i will do it with my digital camera, yeah it sounds heaps better in real life lol
