  1. Mate, I noticed you have turbo side intake and battery on passenger side. Did you to this yourself or buy a kit? cheers
  2. cheers rbjet, my main concern is its sucking hot air from the engine bay...will see about flexi hose

    shouldn't get too many issues with the base software....I agree the IT guys must be flakes.... do you get contractors in for specific modules and customisations?
  4. what would you use to close the stock airbox-left hand side hole?, where the standard under bonnet snorkel(not typhoon snorkel) used to go? When I upgraded the intercooler +cold side piping this had to go and now its open to the engine bay. I have a (dont laugh) plastic lid from a jar that fits perfectly but worried it might melt there....
  5. that sux, buy with paypal as you can dispute things and they generally rule in your favor if you have all facts lined up
  6. seems cheap to me... I remember waaaay back I had a 9" w/3.77 installed on my for about 2.5k, this is going back 13 or so yrs....goddam I had to work some extra shifts to get that thing ( I was student at the time)

    big difference between SAP consultant and ERP systems, and computer technicians fixing desktop computers.
  8. sweet, squat 160kgx6....next heavy phase will shoot for 180-190...getting there, but still need more
  9. PAZZO, that do the 7ft Olympic bars at nitro weigh? im thinking 15-20kg??
  10. My secret formula to max gym sessions is.........................powdered powerade mixed with cold water,must be from the cold water fountain at nitro it is enhanced with aminos and stuff......berry flavor, cant go wrong

    got quoted about 700 each for ap racing 4pot fronts http://www.compfriction.com.au/ Fraud quoted 700 each or so for the blue PBR 2pots....black were cheaper I think 500 or so...go figure
  12. PAZZO, dont use the portable bench that is around the power rack area. it damn collapsed on us yesterday, lucky the pins were set and didnt fall on us...I dont think the rating on it will be high as it uses a single bolt to hold the incline part up
  13. 1600 dave ask mikesmodelcars(ebay coils) I got quoted $130
  14. At nitro they should play the music Arnie is posing to at that "muscle rock" place in pimpin iron
  15. my car, BF2 has a tag on the fuel lid "E10 compliant" or something. I ran it a couple of times, pre-tuned and it seemed ok. I used to run my fairlane 5.0 NF on e10 95 for several years and didnt have issues. I mainly did that as the it would ping on 91. I think in the mid 90s standard unleaded was 95 octane.?
  16. true, but I dont look at todays pro's.... check out arnie, or franco columbu who could deadlift 700+lbs...they didnt have huge guts if you have a huge midsection dont blame deadlifts...blame ronald mcdonald
  17. Im no deadlifting expert, but on the initial phase of the lift you might have rounding your shoulder and using your lower back to start the lift, which might have contributed. the only downside of this method is when you start hitting the heavier weights 160kg or so its easy to injure yourself.next time try push down with your heels on the initial part of the lift,keep you upper back straight. they are good, I had chronic back pain and started this lift 2 yrs ago, back is waay better now that I can even do bb bent over rows for the 1st time last week in about 8yrs.
  18. top effort mate!
  19. not sure, the back extensions I used to do involved lying front facing with your stomach on a square large pad. your feet are hooked on some leg extension type roller pads. you would then do like a 'reverse situp' I.e. head towards the floor and back up, exercising your lower back. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_extension
  20. man, are the nitro(gym) scales accurate?!?!?! home scales report 121, nitro is 124...gloves and belt cant add 3kgs??? anyone else see any discrepancies?
  21. deadlifts, not the stiff legged ones though
  22. do you have to remove the bottom air deflector? I was thinking the coolant might drip into it? also if you run the car for 3-5mins,switch off then drain and fill with cold hose water cant this cause issues?
  23. If OP is like me(not much of a mechanic), reversing a turbo side install is another trip to Pitlane
  24. Yep, I put any pod filter is illegal with IC mods..my point being which one is easier to reverse in case you have to go through the pits? 'Turbo Intercooler' writing still is a stock item,maybe that's enough for no further checks?
