bam-bam

I got the bug now.....anyone selling a supercharger?

157 rw....... wicked!

Where did you source your turbs kit from?(gettin the bug for more hp) ;)

sorry,not famliar with injector sizes-have you thought about water/methanol injection to cool the intake charge= more boost? or there is always Tuolene injection.....

Yep- put an offer forward and it's just been accepted.

I now own my first home!

Kinda scarey seeing all those zero's on an amount of money that I now owe to some rich,over zealous banking association-but I tell you,it's all worthwhile when I take possesion on 4th July(ironically US independance day)

1/4 acre section-2500 sq ft 3 level home-Central Heating,air con,Spa pool and if ya walk out of the driveway,turn right and walk 20 metres you're on the beach lookin over the islands.... But most impotantly,A DECENT GARAGE!complete with loft storage,remote opener and built in fridge....My 'tezza finally has a house of it's own(sigh)

Regards,

Gav

Now who wants to come to the housewarming?

Already working on the DJ lineup,no cover charge,and beverages complimentary of course....Date to follow!

Thanks boss-the mag is selling good into its second week now,hopefully those that read it(and not just look at the pics of scantily clad women) will cruise into the club,be hooked on our intelligent conversations and join up!!

Retecp,

I also have come to notice that there is a misprint,stating the Compression ratio is slightly different on two pages.

I shall be making a call as soon as the magazine office opens in the morning to find out which one is correct!!

Sorry for any confoo...confisi..... MIX UP!!!

If only I myself knew more about under the hood....

Regards,

Gav.

Hey guys,

Just a quick note to say I've put images of the magazine artcle i did in the NZ LOC Gallery,4 pages in total.

NZ Gallery

My graphics know-how isnt too grand,but hopefully they are ok enough to give you all an idea.Would be cool if you can let me know your thoughts,

Regards,

Gav.

Does this mean we have to start the"are djs actually musicians" arguement??

If so-yep,I'm a musician-3 turntables at once if thats at all impressive!

Hey there Lexman-

I'm in NZ- did mine recently with A brand called VHT-they have just released spray specifically for callipers,tho their engine enamel would do the job just as well(previous cars). I did remove the callipers to paint however...

Gav B)

Hi dee ho from down under, NZ loc!

I genuinely do.....Matt Mc will vouch for it!

B)

B) good on ya! nothing like colour co-ordinated accessories.... now if it would only fit in the boot?

have to agree with you matt,not normally a big orange fan on cars but that does seem to work.Big thumbs up from me! B)

wicked guys-will try to stay posted as to when they (if) become available.... thanks for the input so far,super keen on one once someone develops it....(sigh)

A custom fabricated will cost me around 400 NZ dollars,or 130 pounds? The only thing is,I'll have to remove all the plastic airbox,and the bend feeding the throttle body will be fairly narrow and bent at 90 degrees to fit under the bonnet-I wonder as to whether that would restrict airflow,therefore power.

Out with the thinking cap Gav! B)

I think I've seen the same technique somewhere before.....

Righto- I've searched the galaxy(or at least all of the Auckland performance shops) to locate EITHER a replacement free-flow air filter for the factory airbox OR a replacement"bolt on" induction kit,and NOBODY HAS THEM!!!

I've even been speaking to the importer for KNN to see if they can source one but they say even they have nothing listed.

Firstly,do those members that DO have aftermarket induction kits notice a difference in driveability/performance/lovely growling noises? This will direct me as to wether I should pursue this further.

Secondly,can anyone provide me with pricing on a cost (in whichever currency)for me to purchase one from overseas and ship it.

The only option I have been offered is to have one "custom"fabricated to fit my car(remembering it is a 6cyl)-but I'm a bit dubious on this as there is not a great deal of technical knowledge on these cars in NZ yet,and for all I know I could end up paying the money and LOSING horsepower!

Would appreciate your thoughts...

Regards,

Gav

Was trying to give my post some dynamic impression by changing fonts...
