February 15, 200917 yr #1 Hi Everyone,Im new to the forum. My names Jamie and im 21. I Just purchased my car brand new from a dealership for work.Only had it for 2 weeks and already put on a full stainless steel exhaust (from Hi-tech Mufflers), Kompact Blow off Valve (fitted myself), Roller Shutter Lid and ladder racks (From Manufactured Alloy Xtras)Here are some Pics
February 15, 200917 yr #2 The wheels!!! Very nice mate. Break her in right!!! Hope you live in some hills hahahaPS
February 16, 200917 yr #5 have you had it tuned?most cars need tuning if you fit a full exhaustNice car though mate &
February 16, 200917 yr #6 great looking rig mate not bad for a work hack haha also as others have said you will need a tune mate otherwise you could end up with overboost which could cause some damage
February 17, 200917 yr #7 Author ye its overboosting bigtime and not really moving much coz its losing traction even in 4th and 5th gear. Ive been around wetheral park solving some issues with the roller shutter lid. Its been leaking to the sh*t house.As for running it in the dealer said its fine to give it. I just drive it hard when I want to and that's it.Thanks Guys
February 17, 200917 yr #8 I wouldnt be driving it too hard until ya have a retune dude...You risk major boost spikes that could do some fairly significant damage to your engine internals!Best pony up the cash for a good tune than having to rebuild your engine!You will not be able to claim warranty either as you have modded...
February 17, 200917 yr #9 Author ye I just didnt wanna tune it coz I know ill get extra power therefore no control when driving the car. Its a crazy car lol
February 17, 200917 yr #10 I understand - I know what ya mean, but you just have to show a bit of restraint and respect for the power and you will get used to it.Honestly though and take the advice, you need a tune. You could do some proper damage to your engine and you will be up for $5k + if it decides to let go coz of overboosting / boost spike!Hate to see that happen to such a nice ute too!
