    **** i just watched the video Marcus....


    I can't wait to get my Pacies on. I don't wanna spend the money though lol. Buying a house so i'm being a mega tightarse. But it sounds bloody nice. We have the exact same exhausts now bar the tips, i have the Pacies at home, just gotta get them on the car. Eventually lol.

    +16 rwkw that's pretty solid you only changed the exhaust? or did you replace some stuff too? rotor cap etc?. 145-148 is pretty standard for that setup, it's a bit much to expect 155 in a Auto. Some cars make it but not too many, mostly only manuals go over 150

    Even worse

    I was gonna get the twin cat thing done, but have given up on modding my car now. Sounds good as is and has a bit of poke, so i am only interested in keeping it clean and running well now. Kinda over spending cash on it anyway.

    got it dyno'd at Hallam Performance

    climate wasnt hard just a bit of piss farting around, cept 88greenvn broke his screen trying to get the green plastic sheet out from under the climate screen so be careful if u do it, the right hand light soldering point is ****ed and wasn't working so i just soldered 2 LEDS to the left side and made one longer and streched it to make it face in from the right.
    Problem with the climate is that the buttons have green/red/blue shit on the inside so they come out a bit dull when lit up/

    Thanks.

    Water pump started to shit itself, started chinking so i changed that today and chucked a new gilmer belt on since the other one was getting old.

    also picked this up today



    Booking the car in tommorow to get a few minor things done to it.

    Dash looks good #######!! Thinking of heading into Hallam Performance on saturday arvo and getting mine dyno'd, still curious to see what it's pulling @ the wheels. Is it still $60 for 3 runs down there?
