As much as I am violently opposed to 18s on principle, those do look nice.

Get some 15s on it with semis and she'll feel a lot better up the mountain!

Boags

Cool Raise it, put some decent brakes on it, and ditch the bling wheels.... it should then go as nicely around corners as it goes in a straight line

sorry, forget to mention that it has drilled, slotted and vented rotors up front and all pads are metal kings (i think)

If you intend on taking it to the track, you'll need much more brakes. That setup will probably last only one lap of the national circuit at QR If you just want to cruise to the servo, then they will be OK

On batteries, you will need a vented battery to avoid rusting up the battery and boot.

If you're leaking oil from the bellhousing, it will not be the gearbox, it'll be engine oil from the rear main seal. Check the clutch while you're there as it will probably be on its way out from the oil.

make sure you put in 200ml of 2stroke oil with every$30 petrol
will keep the rotor in shape

I was going to get MX-7 plates for mine but didnt really think the average person would get it....

the car looks cool and I like the location of the water to air box....

The engine bay looks so empty and tidy compared to mine...

Duj, Is that a custom water to air setup and is it effective? How does the water circulate?

Dont get Mx-7 , get 'REMX' or just 'RE' much better!
feels weird looking at the car with someone else owning it
driving my stock mx is so not fun,
i have to use effort when i need to overtake!

i nicknamed it Remixed 5 (RE M(i)X 5) in my mind when it was still here,

At least you wont be able to get MX-007... we know who got that one

These water to air setups are very effective,
as a water to air ic will cool much better than any front mount,
the water circulated via a bilge pump which came off ben siedel's
RAPID RX3 20B drag car, which had an identical setup
just needs the lines done and the inlet temps will be very impressive!

better start saving for the rebuild. 12a are getting a bit thin on the ground

Thats the spirit.......

Have you had the rego and all that stuff changed over yet?

Was there much hassle from the DOT?

in regards to getting all the stuff done all at once or week by week

try not to do as much as you can at once as you will see some thing you like and change it round again!

and usually you see it a week later after you did the mod!

I am on interior number 3!

Body kit number 2!

So it definatly pays to do all your home work!

definatly have a good starting point!

I might see you round I will have mine out a few times over the next few weeks as I am up in cleveland house sitting the old's place.

might have to get everyone out for a thursday night cruise like old times!

Thats pretty cool

no one wanted to do a shoot on my car

Duj,
Did you end up getting the diff/axles upgraded?

I think one of your mods should be to put on an air filter!
