  1. Exactly. Compare what you saw on Tuesday to this...... Think that should be the right video, can search youtube at work, just can't watch it. What do you all think of Tuesday Ep now!? Also noticed an add on Win last night. Had Warney saying something to the effect of "Watch me review some cars on top gear" so that actually comfirms the rumours of a few months back that he would be a host. Looks like he might be an add-on-extra host though. We'll see next week I suppose.
  2. Said it last year and will say it again. You can't compare the VERY FIRST episode of the aus version to the BBC which has been running for what, 12 years? now! Its like saying Julia Gillard isn't as good of a prime minister as what Jonny was by the end of his stint.
  3. Added. :wink: Got any time for the rest of the family?
  4. Thought I would have already found a thread here today about this, but oh well. New WIN Australian version started last night did anybody actually watch it??? Thoughts? I quite enjoyed it, but I'm sorta of the opinion that any top gear is good top gear. You can deffinately tell that WIN has a bit more funding to throw at it than what SBS did.
  5. Hey mate, Sorry I've been slack on this. I've ended up pretty busy at work lately, 10 hour days every day pretty much. I'm about to PM you my mobile number. If you want to have a chat about some good roads them feel free to give me a yell one night. Might just be easier as to be honest, by the time I'm done at work for the day I just want to get off the laptop and go home.
  6. Deffinately set yourself a S/C time before you pull it all off. :yes:
  7. Car Accessory Installs. Car audio shop which has a flat above the shop. I used to live there for 7 years befor we had bub, now Shaun live there. If you look at the intercooler pics you can see the same set of stairs and black shed walls as in my sig pics. :wink: Edit - Sorry they were in Shaun project thread, not mine.
  8. Then its new barrel time. I don't believe Muzza problem to be in his barrel, it maybe as simple as a blown fuse.
  9. Force inducting toyotas..... remember jade tried to supercharge the MR2. Spose the celica counts too, turbo motor, but still turbo'ing an originally non-turbo car. I did 3x different kits there. One of them was fitted in 2x corollas too. edit - actually 3x cars - Dirt, then Tar, then fitted into James' KE35
  10. haha how dumb was I. Got to the intercoller pics before I worked out who's car it was. :rolls:
  11. Nah not really. Missus' Peugeot has been in the shed for nearly a couple of months now. 405 Mi16 + snapped timing belt = not fun. :bash:
  12. haha oh yeah that right.... you've got a baby too!! :blush: :lolcry: You don't need to tell me how many turbo cars drive past there. The shops also perfectly positioned to cop the 'mid 2nd gear boost up' in most cars. :lol: .....oh and how many of those turbo cars have gilmer drives though!?
  13. Same air flow....more octane. You work it out! :wink:
  14. Kits come up for sale rarely. You're better off building your own kit. Use the search function and have a read up on what others have done, then decide what direction you want to go in.
  15. +1, just change all the leads. Some service books say to replace the spark plug leads every second time you change the plugs. Have you also replaced or re-set your points? They could be closed up a bit too much.
  16. But then you might as well start calling them a pussy box!!! :lol:
  17. Its the porcalin looking thing next to your ignition coil. quick overview: There is 2x power circuits running to your coil - "on" and "start" power, dependant on where the ignition key is. Under normal driving conditions the 12v "on" power runs through the ballast resistor, which drops the voltage to the coil to around 6-8v. When you try and start your car the "on" power is bypassed and the coil gets 12v through the "start" circuit to try and help the engine start easier. Once you release the key back to "on" the "start" power de-activates and the "on" powr kicks back in. To test it you need TEST light, not a timing light.
  18. I've seen both TRD and Quaife close ratio T50's sell on Trademe.
  19. Maybe with like a 300hp shot of N02!! :lolcry: Thank Shaun, I usually give a little bit of stick when I come past CAI.
  20. Just get one off ebay. Might nt be genuine but who will really kn ow the difference! :happy:
  21. Not real great. It would be too big, and those things are netorious for snapping shafts if you wind the boost up too much.
  22. Funny you should say that. Last trip out to the drags Yoy-yoda was driving a mates older XR6. He managed a mid-highist 16 IIRC. I was running low 15's that trip but have ran in the 14's.
  23. 4k and 5k sumps are the same. Are you running a stock fuel pump? Could be that you're draining your float bowl and and thats why your pulling up.
  24. Ah, no not pressed in. One things to be aware of though - as you pull out the cente some shims will fall out. Make sure these go back in the right side on re-assembly. Deffinately come out the back. Only banjos are front loaders and they don't have inspection plates.
  25. +1..... and talk about back-yard!
