    Ahh come on

    Real men change them, its a bitch of a job I will admit but leaving the stockers in there they crack and leak eventually once they do they will provide a shit ride until you replace them when they do let go.

    I did mine took for ever to get them out however the crispy burn em out works a treat, I then put the sub frame in a vice and got a hacksaw and cold chisel. Bought the hard shells to suit the ES bushes and came out a treat.

    Also went over kill even replacement hand brake pads, once I got them and compared them to the used ones there wasnt much difference, wasted some cash there...You should have got your hands on a NA then no bollocks with Hicas and better diff ratio too. each to their own

    That is looking so good, loving the bodykit.
    And solid colour choice, midnight purple will look sexy, especially in the sun :)
    Nice work.

    Hi All

    Been awhile since I updated this.
    Finaly Got her Rego'd and No the paint work is still not done! well after driving it round for a few weeks, up to sunshine coast and arond Brisbane and Harry's once or twice, Its been Great.
    Now blowing up or any other shit, right from the start it's been puffing like a steam train cause the sceond hand turbo's I bought have buggered seal's, thats what I get for being a tight arse, was the only thing I skimped on.
    Other than that It's been great.
    Then about two weeks ago, me and my brother went for a cruise down the gold coast, had just arrived and driven though the main drags for a perv and Stall she goes. no warnings or anything, just died.
    thought, well it might be the PTU ( I have S1 still) gave Eric (A2Zed) a ring and he aggreed also, so got a Mate down with tools and spare PTU, And nothing still.
    ahh **** it went back home (bribane) had some sleep and then back in the morning with hired tralier, picked up and took back home, what a trip to the Goldd'y that was.

    Got it home, hooked up ECUtalk and Nothing would come up, No sensors, not even error codes, Nothing.
    Got John (Bris E) over with his shit and a spare ECU and swapped the mines for a stocko and a;; the sensors work, then borrowed Zsteve's ECU and Bang she starts up, got anther ECU (stock one) and runs fine so I can get it arond./

    Long story Short, My Awsome MINES ECU Fried itself (dont' ask me how?) So now Im doing this!

    Brand new Garret GT2871R .63 Turbo,s from a Friend in the States to replace the fake shit I got in at the Moment, there the non ball bearing one,s and since I dont have my MINES any more, (saved the MINES Tune before it went bad) I have Toshi coming up to Road tune in 3 weeks or so, hope it Dry when he comes or have to use dyno. I can't wait for this, No more smoke and a awsome tune, strait to Willowbank when its Done.

    Here's some pics anyway from a drive around the Dam's in Brisbane

    and a Tramp

    This with 285 semi's and only first gear, look's likethe swift did it

    UPDATE 3/02/2012

    Got my new Turbos Now, There From a Mate in the Staes and Im trying them out.
    There made in TAIWAN, He buys them and rebalances them and 360% thrust Bearing, So I will see how these go.
    I must say the Build Quailty of these are Awsome, I had theme apart and the cast and machine work is awsome compaird to what I've seen off other noname Brands. and He said If I want'ed to fit Real Garret Cores, the Exhaust housings fit Perfectly, but the front needs a mm taken out inside, thats for GT2871R Garret cores.
    These are the same specs as Above, .64 Rear housing and rated at 350-400+hp
    Have been running .86 at the moment TDO4-H, which I will rebuild cause they smoke.
    So I,ll give these a go, Cost me $1100 Delivered From the States.
