yeah, the power sterring thing is fixed up, covered by AAMI life time warrenty on repairs or something like that

well if ur not sure about springs, or worried, save some cash and get the whole thing done properly, springs struts etc...

 

good to hear that things are working well for you. Yeah, i might save some cash and get it done properly or even a body kit first

 

Yeah, i just read this

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=12137

they say that lowered springs WILL blow stock struts........

 

nice find,
yeah i know they will blow, its just a matter of time, so im getting what i can out of the stocks before i replace

 

I am hoping that they would offer some good aftermarket struts and springs for our ride soon. I dont really want to go coilovers as they are too expensive for me and besides, i dont go racing...............

Dude, does your car have paint protection? What kind of polish do you use?

 

^yeah i got that "ming" paint protection thing,
umm i got some wax stuff i cant remember the brand tho coz i havent done it in a while(yes i know flame me :P ) but mainly due to unable to wash coz of water,
but when in not tired and have a day off work and its not windy, ill go to a commercial wash do it, race home and wax/polish it, but takes ages tho, good few hours i spend

 

kewl. how much did you pay for that ming thing? stupid water restriction. Its a pain in the ***. Do you park in the shade at work?

 

ummm cant remember how much the ming was, it came when i bought the car, i think it was a few hundred extra...
there isnt really shade at work, but i park around the back door, so after about 2pm there is shade cover from the building

 

yeah. no shade really sux. Mine is sort of under a tree...........

 

hey mate. I think i just found a couple of CAIs that might fit our ride. w00t! Powa...............

 

Did you know that RPW make these as well and they are Australian.... the RPW designed ones are very nice and give good gains

 

do they ? i never seem to be able to find it. link me pls

 

check at the bottem of my sig and type in the link that will take you there but I think at the moment they are updating the web site so there could be a few minor problems other than that give David a email on davidt@iinet.net.au

www.rpw.com.au

hope that helps a little

 

yeah dude. i tried that link that you have in your sig but it says that nothing is in your cart of something

With your CAI, is the pod like enclosed in a box or something? Cos the one that i stooged from Simota has a carbon fibre enclosure for it.

Did i tell you your car kick ****?

 

Important - everyone please read

RPW Service Centre is currently experiencing a large demand for our products and services. We are currently booked out in our workshop for approximatly 4 weeks in advance. Anyone wishing to have work done at the RPW Workshop, please ring straight away to get your advance booking in.

We are also experiencing slight delays in our online store of between 3 - 5 days. Please be patient when placing an order and if it requires urgent attention, make a note at the end of the order form. [/quote]

thats from the rpw site, there a bit down atm, but u can still navigate the site pretty well just i dont think you can use the order forms so maybe u have to call or email...

anyways, im still looking at kits but im still not sure if i should save to get one or save and trade in for a new 08 ralliart(awd/turbo)

coz i look at it like this, a turbo kit will cost about 8000AUD roughly, maybe as high as 10K. BUT with trade in on my "ralliart" it should only be around $15Kish for a new one with factory warrenty on turbo....
so yeah im stuck.

i like/love the idea of doing the install myself on my current car coz i want to learn more and gain knowledge etc. but i havent every had turbo car before and i know they can/are high maintenence...

just maybe some opinions from others would be nice
