Kiahatsiu's 05 Wagon: stepping it up again.

Real nice rotors Ian!

Pcs please, I may need fronts soon, great excuse to go 5000s

[kiahatsiu]

J: The series 5000 are a bit of wank. They also get a lot of shudder for a high end rotor. I suspect that is due to the fact they are a fancy thing built to a price point. I might start a discussion on it in the brakes and suspension forums one day, but i feel the forums smarter members will pull my theory to pieces. I recommend the series 4000s. Oh, and contact GSL rallysport. They have a set going cheap at the moment. They ship too.

All I can say is wow awesome work, sounds and looks fantastic but you have got me itching to do mods now! What was the sound like with the previous exhaust and how does it sound now? Thinking about upgrading my exhaust but the last thing I want is the Subi version of the Commodore drone.

[kiahatsiu]

With the uel sti style headers it had the boxer rumble, but the tcp exhaust kept it nice and quiet. It did boom in the car though. With the new headers it sounds eve like.

Is that George's dad's wall, up on Glorious?

Sent from my SGS2 using Tapa-fkn-talk

Yep! I would have named the file 'glorious' and not 'nebo' but it seemed a little silly.

Looking good Ian! Love the stealth look

Well, Went back on the dyno this morning. now up to 210+ at the wheels peak. That in itself is good news, the better news is it picked up much more everywhere else.
Now, the bad news is I may have derped my clutch. It slipped a little in gear in 3rd so I got off the gas imediately, drove home normally, left it for 3 hours, and then drove normally some more, seems to not slip now. Will conduct some more tests on the Highway tonight.

Oh, and I was sedately driving around I noticed what a lovely day it was. Not a cloud in the sky, the birds were chirping and shit, and then I remember the carbons. Carbons are ever wheres! So, being the civic minded chap I am I have decided that I should do something for the environment and run on some sort of bio fuel, possibly made from corn. Coyote, do you think you could make this happen for me?
