Wouldn't be something to do with the VVT would it?

I was thinking that before, like the VVT pulley has locked in the advance position

Checked valve clearances? Seen/heard of these getting valve recssion (mine was down to 120psi on one cylinder where the problem was).

30 something cars and a visit by a (friendly) Police officer on the cards for this months meet?

Can you change my Manfeild time to 1.28 and add me to Taupo Track 1 1.54

Might drive this car properly one day and not like a little girl

Made sure both surfaces were nice and flat aye?

Hahahah oh man I had a hearty LOL at this thread, worth a read:

EDIT: Posted in wrong thread but you get the idea

That's brilliant! I wonder if I put crapper oil in my gearbox I could shorten the gearing up for more acceleration? 

Someone tried to jack the car up off them would be my pick

On my car I got hold of an old bung ECU and a electrician buddy stripped the connector off it and made an adaptor loom using that and the Link wiring harness so that it was "plug and play" with the factory engine loom. Then I hooked wideband wiring straight to the Link loom and done. Managed to sqeeze all of that wiring in under the dash so you'd never know. Just had the USB cable running up to the glove box for easy access.

Oh man, so jelly of that windscreen strip! Are they universal?

Do Sabelt sell 5 (or 6) point harnesses that can easily be converted to 4 point and back again?

After all the race cars I've been in, I cringe each time I jump in one where they only have a 4 point harness. Find they're uncomfortable and struggle to get them to sit right - usually the buckle lifts up too high when tightening the shoulder straps.

Techno Toy Tuning do one

Nice Matt, quite digging the gold on white.. those Weds Sport rims really set it off.

As Rhys said, Willwoods on these are the shit. Wouldn't bother trying to get the twin pots to work. I tried TRD Black pads - nice feel/bite but couldn't handle the heat. TRW pads (about $70) were sweet for heat but didn't really have the same bite. Finally tried a set of Hawk HP+'s which handled the heat and had better bite than the TRW's but still wasn't happy with the bite (TRD blacks were the best there).

Ended up getting a set of Willwoods off MRP (coupled with TRD blacks in the rear) and brakes are awesome. Pit straight at Taupo I'm braking at the 50 marker and you have plenty of time to get off the brakes and ready yourself for turning in.

You can get Chamberlains in Christchurch to make up a bigger rear swaybar for about 280+GST to suit. Planning on doing this myself sometime this year if I can't get my hands on a Whiteline 20mm blade adjustable bar

loled a bit at using a flowmaster to try and fix a droney exhaust

Was considering getting one of these a few months back, so glad I didn't impulse buy like normal! Yuck. Brought a MagnaFlow muffler instead, holely fuck it's quiet especially seeing as its bloody straight through. Win.

JTune did some dyno testing with intake pipes, playing around with not only diameter but also length

Don't know if its been mentioned but the factory sumps have no baffling so if any spirited driving it going to happen it would be a wise investment to put a baffle plate in.

Ah fail, normal hours Tuesday, it's from Wednesday onwards... as you were

Late night shopping in the Plaza from Tuesday the 16th till Chrissy. Still plan on meeting there and just trying our luck?

BBS OM?

I heard he was getting G-Zeros...

Can't believe how shiny this thing is in person. Keen to have a go at the Corolla? 

Does the VVT work on the exhaust valve? I thought it would only on the inlet but I am not at all conversant with VVT technology.

Only the inlet on these

Damn, thats a pretty fly Galant in the background

If it's of any help James I have my old used TRD headgasket in the shed you can use

But not from last night haha

Interest in standy 1G when upgrade happens+there is a crowd down south in CHCH possibly that will bend up a custom swaybar if you send down yours for them to copy

The place is Chamberlains

Got a quote the other month for a rear sway bar and it was 285+ GST

If you want to get either of them in the mag might be best to speak to a contributor if they're not getting back to you. Aaron Mai is in Palmy, he did Cole's RX7.
