    Oh goodie

    No dramas with them at all?
    No droning?
    Just nice natural sounding engine sound? lol

    Found your engine sound clip, niceee
    Sexy as



    Im bored, still sick and at home.
    Might look at ya videos again :p



    Did some research on cats actually for emissions etc.
    100cells etc arent actually illegal, its the emissions the car gives off itself.

    Example, a worked car with a stroker engine with 200 cell cats could fail, due to the emissions it gives off.

    So hence, decided to go ahead with the 100 cell

    Only drone i get is very slight in top gear under load like up a hill between 1250 and 1450 revs. A change down to 3rd manually fixes that ( i like driving in third below 60 kmph as car is way more responsive). Funny thing is if my wife drives and im in the passenger seat i hear no drone at all in the same situation as above? Wierd!
    Gees i couldnt remember making an engine sound clip? Must be an old one before cam went in i think. Thanks Uni..get better m8..

    I have I have

    It's like equal. No difference between them

    The Superpro is in a opened packet where Whiteline still sealed.

    Both come with the grease as well.

    Think I might just install the Superpro as its not in a sealed packet

    1st World Issues.

    Spoke to guys ceramic coating the headers, told em to do Chrome Ceramic instead of silver.
    Picking them up on the 29th

    Headers to be installed following week with the cats.

    Spark plugs to also be changed with my MSD leads, dielectric grease, aluminium boots plugs and lead socks.

    Finally

    Not gonna lie, yes.
    Foots always heavy lol

    Hurt my back (lower back spasm, and my first one ever, woohoooo) so plans to do the sway bar bush is on hold, prob til next weekend.

    Decided to go Chrome Ceramic for the headers as well.

    As for Lumley Special Vehicles Insurance, they answer my questions quite happily.
    For modifications, as long as legal and i tell them about it, then its fine.
    Unlimited legal modifications. - WOOOHOOO

    And yest finally got my windscreen replaced under Coles Insurance.
    Glazier had issues with the scuttle plate lining up, lolol, i told him to leave it and will sort it out myself.
    Fixed it obviously, RainX all the windows again as well

    Those back spasms can be absolutely crippling.
    And sometimes even last for days. I feel your pain, thankfully you sound like your sensible and are limiting what you do, as frustrating as it is.

    Glad to hear you got your insurance sorted out. And your windscreen.
    What's the time frame on getting your zorst finished? You've probably read enough that your O2 sensors may suffer after fitting extractors..........

    How are you finding your trans? Bit tighter?

    Back spasm, what can I say, definately some nice pain there.
    Voltaren tablets and paracetamol is what I'm allowed. No pain killers dammit.
    Getting better though, just no salsa dancing.

    Heard of O2 sensors dying, hoping that being ceramic would eliminate that factor. Shall see though.
    Will speak to the boys coating them on their thoughts

    Picking them up I hope on the 29th. Install the following week hopefully.

    Trans still tight. Has a mandatory 10k service for the warranty and that is about 9k away.

    On a brighter note, think there is no more leaks under the car.

    LOL my mums got one, swears by it.
    But now after some exercise, back is almost back to normal, but im frustrated as hell

    New windscreen, cleaned using the cars wiper jets and nothing comes out, thinking its empty but alas was almost full yet pump still moving along fine

    Started swearing.

    Jacked, Stands and went under car to look at the pump and took it out and getting soaked. Bah didnt care.
    Inspected pump and flushed it and black bits of rubber came out.
    Hmmm

    Looked at grommet and the thing is half deteriorated so removed rotten rubber, refitted and still no joy.

    Checked the jets, and they are clogged so took them off

    So here i am, sucking and blowing like a $100 prostitute(dunno how they do it, should get paid more) trying to clear the pipes inside the jets.
    Finally one clears, inspect, flush and refit back to car.

    Second one was the biotch, after a long time sucking and blowing lololol, still clogged, placed into metho spirits (#### knows why) and flushed with water again and still clogged.

    #### it, left the good one on the drivers side, and left the clogged one on the passenger side.

    Clean up, half soaked and went for a drive.
    Checked the wipers, and after couple attempts, the thing clears.
    Frakkkennnnn grrrrrrrrrrrr

    One thing it did though, gave me back some exercise and feel so much better now.

    Nice ride, mate. That mesh grill in your front bumper looks sweet, as do the weathershields :thumbsup:

    And I feel your pain of trying to keep a black car looking half decent.. definitely worth it, though.

    Back Spasm

    Gotta say, I am 100% better now.
    Only happened last Thursday and wasnt even able to walk let alone sit on a computer and week later its back to normal.

    Tested, strength tested, worked out, weight trained, walked, etc etc and came up fine.

    However, been back at work since Wednesday and finished work yest, crashed out when got home and woke up 1140pm(2 hrs sleep) or so and been up since then and im fricken tired.

    Car
    After my exercise session Thursday, was under the car and discovered the rear right wheel has a small buckle, so today took it to Bob Jane down my way and had my recently repaired rim installed on the front and also had 2 virtually new tyres i supplied installed on the rear as they were down to the marker.

    Went to Gearbox place in Moorebank and had them adjust the Neutral Inhibitor Switch under warranty as wasn't starting in Neutral

    Then went to Jamisontown to pick up my Chrome Ceramic headers.
    Peeerrtttyyyy
    $420 which included sandblasting, coating and polishing
    Hypercoating & Automotive - Unit 5 / 10A Production place - Jamisontown NSW 2750

    Pics below

    Then went to bros place and played with niece and then home.

    And then girl i liked decided to randomly buzz me to catch up.
    Im too stuffed to do anything.

    Nite all, i hope

    All in space of 3 months and same section of road.
    It's very minor, but taken off the car anyway whilst good ones are on

    Will be the headers, and my lead socks as well making all pretty.

    How and what do you use to keep ya engine bay sparkling?

    Need to hassle the council to fix the potholes your way...
    Dont know if my bays that sparkling but have bought some alumin. deoxidiser and purple polish recently and that seems to do a good job without too much effort on the bling bits.
