Nuts! Man your stout is so freaking ugly haha. Its so ugly its so cool. I want it! Whats the green car with the red steelies?

Yea man its feels real tight, shifts beautifully, pretty happy! Sounds pretty good with the new exhaust today. Just need my straight pipe section make up now. Need to buy me some more stainless!

Man this thing is pure sex. Its so ugly its cool :lol: Needs venetian? Failing that a bowls hat. Possibly some curb feelers?

Haha fake exhaust, gets 9/10 for rice points :lol: Looks pretty reasonable for a start to a project, I'm liking the striping on the back windows. I see it rocks a digital designs sticker, is it rocking any actual digital designs gear?

Ive been very busy lately with doing a few pieces on my 20. Firstly she now rocks a 5 speed! I'm so glad to get the holden trimatic out (which took hours considering its twice the size). While the gearbox was off i had a new flywheel lightened and balanced and installed a brand new clutch. Installed a new set of extractors also, tomorrow a 1.75" system goes on with a changeable tail pipe section, basically I'm installing a 2 bolt flange just before the muffler so i can choose to run a muffler tail pipe or just straight tail pipes. Since i cooked the 5K a couple weekends ago i have installed a new console with some speco gauges so i knows thats happening with my engine was my temp gauge and oil light didn't work :lol: Also lastly have installed a standard dash back in! Will have pics shortly of all these changes.

Looks HOT! Don't touch anything its finished! Only thing i would change is probably get some new number plates as the original ones are looking shagged.

Hey guys does any other clutch cable suit a ke20? Ive just broken mine and i need another one ASAP. Maybe ke30's?

Sad thing is that 95% of people within the fitness industry have absolutely no clue :/

13 x 8 superlights don't have very much dish, their depth is more in the spokes just like the rest of the superlite range. 13 x 7's are the ONLY superlites with dish, full stop.

JDM wheels don't need to match the paint because their super cool JDM wheels :y: what matches brown anyway? Black would look good as always of course, i think the center should differ from the outer rim!

I'm an Exercise Kinesiologiest and a Personal Trainer so i can help out with this question. There has been some good advice already in this thread, some of the more important ones: -Protein is only necessary if your diet is not ideal, protein power is made from milk waste products, its total crap. -Legs are important as growth in your legs will make your upper body grow, it primes all the muscle within your body to grow. -45min to 60min workouts are ideal as your body can go catabolic and start using your muscles as a source of enegry. -Less cardio is better for gaining size, intense cardio will force your body to go catabolic, i don't do cardio with a single client unless its specific to their sport, you can burn much more calories from weight bearing exercise (although these exercises are different than body builder exercises) -More muscle = Higher metabolism, therefore more calories burned during every movement. -Always progress with the weight you lift, although your body will adapt if in a linear fashion, therefore this can get complicated. -Big compound movements are key for your time constraints (Bench, Squats, Deadlifts, Military Press, Chin ups) -Abs cannot be had with a body fat % higher than 10% (genurally) -Gets at least 8 hours sleep for muscle recovery -Eat fat and protien, saturated fat is the building block of EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY. (This is non-processed sat fat, not junk food) -Also consider any injuries you've had and how they may effect you, posture problems is included here. Sharp pain during the exercise means there is a problem. -Stress will cause ZERO results. -Your muscles must recover before being worked out again, this is where a split program helps. Also a quick schooling about reps. Although 8-12 reps is consider hypertrophy (muscle gain) it is very dependent on what we call Time Under Tension (TUT). An example: Is 10 quick reps equal to 10 slow reps? Of course not, it is not the same thing because the muscle is under tension for longer with the slow reps and therefore achieves a different response from your body. Now to to get too complicated, the basic rule for Hypertrophy (muscle gain) is to have a Time Under Tension of anywhere between 40 to 70 seconds. This means each set you do SHOULD last between 40 - 70 seconds, any less and your making your body adapt to getting stronger and not necessarily bigger. So that means you should do your reps nice and slow, roughly 2 seconds on the harder phase (concentric) of the exercise (eg pushing up on bench) and 3 seconds on the easier phase (eccentric) of the exercise (eg bar palling on bench), therefore achieving a rep time of 5 seconds. Which in turn means you should do between 8 - 14 reps with this particular Time under tension. If thats way over your head, JUST DO YOUR REPS SLOW AND CONTROLED 8 - 12! The 'Toning' rep range of 12-15 is also a myth. Anyone who wants to argue this with me give me a call so i can school you. So there you go, a crap load of random tips! I did not go into exercises or how you should do them. Shoot me a PM if you like and i can write you a program and run through it with you if you like sometime, also i can explain anything you don't understand and the 10million things ive porbally missed due to being tired. Cheers Troy

A bit of fish oil and she'll be right.

I know I'm just bored haha The car gets converted to manual this weekend so after that its pretty much finished minus paint and suspension upgrade. I need a new car to do stuff with. Anyone got another 1000 wagon?

Stupid people like stupid things. I.E. ME :P I'm still undecided, its kinda cool and goes well with the 'lets do whole bunch of shit to make my car different' theme.

Haha forgot about that, they didn't blend well with the 'classic' look :P

Holy hell. Angry eyes FTW!!! My front end looks like it wants to kill something with these! I'm sure this will still effect the beam though? Maybe i should make some plastic covers that i can clip on and off?

That's what I thought, although my current headlights (Running H4's) have a very dull matte grey reflective surface.

After seeing rudyjadul's ke20 with painted headlight inners that has got me thinking of doing it but instead painting mine BLACK. Does anyone know the legal point of view of this? How would the effect the function of the headlights, i understand it will be much dimmer but to what extent? Heres some photochops: lazy eyes haha

Got bored, complete opposite direction possibly? haha, something i would do if a had a ute. Huge walls, wooden tray etc etc

Gold. Even drivable?

options?

Got springs?

Hell thats hott!! Yellow headlights? Should i?

Thats what i thought, it only ended up costing me $90 for pressure testing and resurfacing then another $50 for a good gasket kit. I'm happy for it to stay stock for a while and just bolt in a 16V later down the track.

Hey that looks like my exact chin spoiler, 20's and 10's must be pretty similar in front end shape.
