VX SS Single Turbo

[johnvtls1]

ah yeah..
the red stuff is fairly expensive tho haha
but itl do me for now.

got the 80thou service today, glad to have done it.
just to get everything refreshed and sht.
found out the power steereing rack has small leak-$1000(wont bother for now)
spoiler gaskets are almost popping out-$70 (i cud replace these myself yeah?)
aerial motor is fuuckd(wont go down)-$200
tires are low tread:whistling
minor engine tick when cold.no biggie apparently.

so all in all besides a couple minnor exterior shtbits, shes all healthyyy
guna be regularly dumping oil tho.

priced up some exhaust and breathing mods also,

alloy otr = $700
mafless tune = $1200

4into1 pacies = $1200 (aaargh wtf? lol)
2hi flo cats = $900

i see an empty wallet next month...:cry:

im gonna try save u some money here man.
i got quoted 400 for my steering rack and thats a whole new rack and install.
no need for an alloy ORT jsut get a plastic one, should work the same.
look on ls1 forum theres heaps of cheap second hand extractors all the time. should be able to pick up a set for 500 max.
and 2 hi flow cats should only be about 450 installed max.

How much was the head unit man? i looked at those seemed not bad and pretty affordable 4 wat it is, should also match the blue dash lights nicely 2. Also turn ur sub around 2 u should notice better bass.

theres just so much to do.

soo, my type s sub blew up a few wks ago:bang:
aarrggh.
apparently it was overdriven or underpowered(or whatever)
eventually went 'pop'
lets just say, burn voice coil, taking it back into jb=smoke evrywhere.
jb took it to alpine, but they wudnt refund it,
apparently a burnt voice coil isnt covered under warranty(ppftt)
so in the end it was lucky cause me and the jb car audio man are alright and he got jb to refund it to me anyway...(props shein)

sooo after 3weeks, and a whole lot of ***CCCING around, i paid an extra bit an so now i have a 500w RMS alpine typeR sub in a mint box, and its tuned properly, and the music is pummpin properly as it should be..

and pacemaker 4into1's are goin in tmro morning, hi flow cats will come in later when i have more cashh.
so ill have a bit louder for the cruise friday night..
ill get some piccs up later

ahh thats no good man but u can see ya definatly over powered the sub uve got a decent amp at 500RMS where as the type S i think r only 300RMS lesson learnt huh

Tho sayin that u could have still used that sub but u would have had 2 turn ur gains right down but ideally not worth it as ur not utilising the amps full potential.
