  1. get someone to machine up an adaptor to fit between the turbo and the manifold. make adaptor wedge shaped so that the turbo rotates slightly anti clockwise. thus swings the turbo closer to the engine. so, fat side of the wedge adaptor will be on the left in the pic. then bore a hole in the fat side of the wedge and drill/tap holes to bolt two bolt waste gate directly to adaptor so it's nice and compact. I wonder if that makes sense
  2. yeah can't wait to ditch the wheels. those in the photo there would be ideal! if anyone finds any for a nice price let me know! as far as varying the color- maybe a very light bright silver would be nice- without the purple tint. holy shit, love the bench seat idea. that would need a cert though? wonder if it would if I just took the middle belts out for a wof. who knows what modems had the bench? edit: in the car now. didn't click before- the falcons with bench must have been column shift?
  3. hey dude. because its going to be a doors shut quick respray- metallic then clear. it's costing me $400 and he does amazing work so I'm happy!! the factory color will look great all shiny and nice- its a slightly purple silver. I like.
  4. goes a whole lot better with the new exhaust! a few trans mods and get the new diff installed and il be very happy! sussed a respray in factory color- cant wait. it's about time I made use of my spray painting cousin
  5. two blowoff valves!!! INSANE!
  6. I think the wagons have a different rear end- leaf springs I think?
  7. finished the exhaust today. pretty proud of my first attempt. do harder things at work errday but rarely make time for my own shit. super gay as I forgot to buy any steel bends so did the whole thing by notching and kinking the tube ( lobster back pipe work was once all the rage wasn't it?) also added a pod filter, dooort. certainly sounds great! these are good sounding engines. pics soon even tho nobody cares lol
  8. thanks for that- will check. it's a fuggin great daily that I can still fiddle with so I'm happy! just at bunnings buying welding supplies, l love this place
  9. so, I flogged a rig welder from work and stopped in at coby on the way home. they sold me some exhaust tube, bends, flanges, gaskets, a muffler and a mandrel bent pre formed section which goes over the diff and turns to avoid the gas tank. coby has a full bolt in system for 820$.... iv spent 370 on the bits and end up with the same thing at the end, woo. the coby guy confirmed that my headers are made by pacesetter and that I will gain approx 15kw from the upgrade! not bad at all. for the record- coby has folders full of before and after dyno runs for their exhausts- pretty interesting!
  10. lol I don't know if that's a joke or not about the lady making brown paint lol
  11. anyone know if they are compatible at all?
  12. chuuuur for the advice. may buy new then. dual props pulling a skateboard could be fun/ a good waste of time
  13. would be great if that's the case! it's the difference between a few hours work and one huge cunt of an ordeal.
  14. sorry, i clicked post a little prematurely
  15. fuckit.. no choice is there. damn.
  16. cheers all. side pipe it is then
  17. so, bought this on tm for cheap. its a 1993 eb2 falcon. was gonna sell but it's just too nice. parts are cheap and its the cheapest/ most comfortable daily iv ever had. underline cheap. I bought the mrs an 01 Stagea which we use for going places together so this can be as shit as I want. I fitted a sweet radio because it had none. no sound came out so checked and double checked wiring. found a shorted speaker in the back... cut wires to it and whalla! sweet tunes. I found some extractors for $130 wrapped in glass. fitted those and was disappointed during low speed rest drive. plugged in the 02 sensor and have taken it to work a few times- there is deff more power up top but I need to do zorst to get the most from it obviously. just bought lowering springs, a diff and a tq converter from the same wrecker as the manufold. the diff is 3.23 ratio to replace my 3.08. I want to get it off the line a bit faster. plan asside from that is cheap exhaust and then a cam grunt from Franklin- they will do me a road race grind for $170. win. basically go nuts when I have nothing to play with when home so am making my daily a project untill I get something more fun Sorry.. had to post prematurely. fixed now
  18. so if it's exit is behind the rear doors and the sound is ok... does it have to exit out the side or rear of the vehicle or is it ok for it to expel its fumes under the car? basically CBf doing the ____/\__ over my diff so wanna end it short
  19. or more if u need more encouraging lol just when ur there next
