i dont mind that too much thanks for the advice though, good things to keep in mind

yea, thats what im thinking, if i do it ill make it worth the effort

hey guys, im considering this as a project...nothing is in the making yet and if anything gets underway it will be a longterm project probably, BUT i am interested in a few things... who here has done one of these, at the moment im thinking id prefer the sr20det, but what then why have people used c18det's? is it just a size thing? im sure ill have plenty of questions, im after experienced reccomendations.

are you sure? ive always thaught that 185/55 means that the wall is 55% of the 185(width of tire)

FUCK... talking about exausts, i blew mine for the third time today... time for new extractors i think: i have the standard 1" extractors going into 1 7/8" pipe... just isnt fucking working...

sorry i cudnt cum on the cruise guys. parents are gay about the whole restricted thing, man i should really get my full sometime soon... anyway, did anyone get a pic of that orange mark 1 escort? SOOOO nice

ill be there at 8.30 if its still happnin, dunno how long for tho. but ill be there!

aparently its not legal (shouldnt pass wof) but its not a particularly stressed point, most, but not all wof places wont even notice it... depending on how much the tyres/wheels stick out.

i might be keen man, ill come if i can...

thats what ive got 19" coby resonator with straight through 1 7/8 pipe... sounds good, recomend coby mufflers/resonators to anyone. edit: i paid $95 for the muffler and it was like $190 for installation and materials at pitstop

partmaster have them too, i dunno where they are except for the one in grey lynn up the road from my work, we got some frome there the other day

i got a new job as a 'assistant mechanic' and the manager there has heaps of contacts for car services. I should be able to get mates rates when i need it. I'll fill you guys in on how it goes and if the place that do it is any good. (auckland)

ok sweet... there goes that idea, might just have to get out the angle grinder and wire brush...

im just wondering, what does sand or bead blasting actually involve? how do the professionals do it? i want to do the interior and engine bay of my car but im not really prepared to fork out a hell of a lot of muney. i had the idea of using an aircompressor with a home-made style feeder with some sand from placemakers... would/could this work? sounds a bit rangi but it would save money.

fair point, i guess i was kindof looking at it from a different angle. taking how mint the wheels on it now into consideration etc ... i say some dumb stuff sometimes

how old is the radiator, how long has it been in there? it could be something as simple as pipes being clogged with shit, which is a fairly simple thing to fix: empty radiator, get radiator cleaning stuff from repco etc do wat instructions say after that, take drain plug out or take the bottom of the radiator, stik a hose in the radiator filler cap crank the hose and let it go through the system 4 5 mins or so. this might help but if your new radiator hasnt been in the car for very long it might not make much difference

dunno how much that would help the acceleration aye, as evos are 4wd

totally agree, nice looking rims, suit the car damn good
