no need to sell it just get it on a dyno, it'll cost you no more then $100, or come to one of the dyno days it'll be around $50.. if it's safe, then you're all well and good.. if it's not, then decide whether to sell the tuner or get a tune. Either way, if you've got a full exhaust, and no edit, you'll more then likely run into overboost issues on the factory ecu anyway.. then you'll have to buy another box and get it tuned

I got done a few years ago in the T.. the cop was behind me and I blasted off.. he got me for 15km/h over, but under 25km/h... I just took it on the chin, as I'm sure I was doing a fair bit more then that But if you're certain you weren't speeding, then contest it... might mate got done a while back in his WRX... now, he was guilty but not to the extent the cop was implying. The cop tried to pin him for too much, leaving huge holes in his story.. he even told the court that the roads were soaking wet after a heavy rain... the bureau of meterology gave my mates lawyer evidence that the rain that day/time was minimal, and would have little effect on the road at that time of day (the rian was hours earlier) a few other flaws in his story popped up, and before ya know it, it was thrown out of court... it cost my mate a fair bit in legal fees, but saved his licence and a potential criminal charge.

a common theme I see in these types of threads is the amount of people who say they know the capabilities of their car, and of their ability.. Knowing your abilities, and the cars ability is all well and good on a race track, however, on the street there are simply far too many variables which I believe cancel out most peoples ability.. Even a super car driver, who knows his stuff, and races on a street isn't safe.. no matter how well they know the car and their abilities. Unfortunately it's not necessarily YOUR ability, or your cars ability, but other road users ability too. Not to mention roo's, potholes, and other unforeseen dangers on the road. I know it's slightly off topic, but it's something I thought was worth mentioning.

a pretty good game, but I think the ref spoilt it a bit. Too many penalties, when he should have let the game flow a bit more.. it's origin, it's fast, let it flow! Some bad calls against both the teams too. The blues will get it back in game II

that's how mine is too.. do you get a quiet psshh at most rpm?? regardless if it has built any boost? then it'll give the louder psshh tututu when it actually builds boost.

I was keen to upgrade, but I think I'll be waiting a year or so.. I'll have had my car for 5 years in october 2009, so I might even wait till 2010, to see what they've come up with since then. One thing for sure, I'll be doing my research well before I jump into a new car, no more buying a T5 manual type of mistake By 2010, I'm sure the series II will be out and a lot more will be known about how good the car is, or how bad it is. Although being one of the first on the road would be nice... but bugger that, I'll let some one else find out what it's like

sometimes my T5 is hard to get reverse and 1st (ever since I had the clutch upgraded).. I usually just knock it into 4th or 3rd, and then try again and it's fine. Probably not the same issue though

there's heaps of "quieter" places for a drink, I think you'll be fine mate as Envy said, plenty of sports clubs. As for the cops, I've never had an issue when them here. Except for the time I went flying past an unmarked car

there's heaps of "sports" clubs around and stuff, good for sitting back with a beer and flutter on the pokies. Thursday nights are good for 2 for 1 drinks at some night clubs in civic. There's some good drives, and scenic places around canberra. The snowies is always good, so too are places like the cotter and tidbinbilla. They're always a good drive. And yep, APK are still open in woden. I don't mind canberra, I love the fact it's not congested, and it's pretty easy to get from A to B..

unfortunately there's not much to do here mate.. in saying that, I like canberra. Bugger all traffic, and decent roads Night life is pretty dead, thursdays, fridays and saturdays being the main exception. It depends what sort of stuff you're into though.

I haven't heard of dating their flatmate, but heard of stories where they were shag buddies

there's a few threads on "how to" do the reversing of the BOV. It's basically a matter of taking off the cross over, blocking up the plumb back intake hole, and that's about it. To be honest, I've noticed my car not boosting as much lately, so I'm not sure if its BOV related or something else. I've checked all hoses etc. So I'm not sure what to do... thinking I might put it back to standard and see how it goes.

Looks awesome mate I too think it would look great on both sides. Looks great with the FPV grill in it, top stuff

Looks awesome mate, I love it. Clean, neat and simple. Love the rims too

I'm with ryno.. recently turned 25. So I'm hoping it goes down next year. Currently I pay $1460 and it's insured for 30k. I pay monthly for no extra cost Insurance is a joke, the difference in premiums is crazy...

that looks awesome I guess I got a few more options to consider for my next car now...

I agree... getting each spoke makes my fingers ache afterwards

I think it depends what sort of dyno it is... I know that a particular dyno hear in canberra can be run in 3rd or 4th and it makes very little difference (I've witnessed it myself, and have the dyno chart). DD dyno's need to be in 4th from what I know. But that's true, at that power level there shouldn't be any problems if it's strapped down properly.

I have this problem at some servos.. not all. so I've put it down to the bowser. I was told by a servo attendant that if it happens, try twisting and turning the nozzle and the surrounding equipment around the hose.. it helped a few times

is a 6sp manual out of the question?? I only say this, because it has been proven to be able to handle big torque and power. You'd be able to modify it a bit, and still know that the box will be fine with towing. I don't think the 6sp auto's have really stood up to much power/punishment just yet.. and adding a trailer (with mods) is only going to increase the chance of something going wrong. Sure there are some big powered cars out there, but not many have done the sort of driving/drag strip stuff that the old 4sp had to put up with it. Good luck either way

staffies are great. Mine's currently living with mum and dad, because she's a bit hypo around the bub.. not that she'd intentionally hurt the baby, but she just doesn't realise how heavy and strong she is. They just love being with people

I love manuals too.. but with all the raving of the ZF it's gonna be hard to go past it. I think the missus would prefer an auto too, especially if she's ever driving around town or in stop/start traffic.. we're in canberra and she can barely handle the pressure of the clutch Mind you, if I was in sydney or constant traffic, I'd get the auto..

the auto's have proven that they are quicker down the 1/4.. 280-300rwkw with good tyres and a good drive could see 11s. considering F6 ute got 11.8 with around 300rwkw and he drives a manual.

it won't give much gain in performance, but it sounds a lot better without the centre muffler. I have hot dogs, as I wanted to make sure I had no drone.

its got me buggered how my camera works some pics I have are like 1mb, where as some are 100kb.. and I've never loaded them on to the computer any differently.. ah well
