The Rolla never got this much love.. Is the the exhaust clip in a garage because it's pretty loud,too loud?

and what's a tortle?

The Rolla was still quite new lol.

The exhaust clip was indeed filmed undercover so it was echoing quite a bit.

I will try to get one of it on the dyno once it gets tuned.

In other news, the Process West TMIC will be ordered once I get paid. I thought it would be safer to run and upgrade the top mount than stay with the stock.

Looks like this,

Rofl I love your metaphor buddy. And I love your car. Can't wait to see what difference the intercooler will make :)

Alright,

50k service was done a few days ago. Nothing serious, just oil/filter change and tightening of nuts and bolts.

Nulon Full Synthetic was replaced with Royal Purple 5W-30 accompanied by an OEM Subaru filter.

In other news, intercooler has been purchased and I'm now just waiting on its' arrival. I'm also pondering on tuning this car for E85. Just have to talk to the mechanic some more to see what is needed etc.

Update: some plans have changed due to some idiot swiping my car whilst parked out front of my girlfriends house.

What annoys me even more is that it was such an avoidable occurence. I don't usually park where I did tonight.

Only because her neighbours had guests over and they used up all the spots.

Secondly, it was a two car spot; driveway to driveway so there was no squeezing or struggle to get out of the spot. There's absolutely no acceptable excuse for it to have happened. The driver is obviously a complete imbecile. It may not seem as much but I'm quite OCD when it comes to the cleanliness and neatness of my car.

I'm pretty sure it's one of the neighbours and will have to suss it out tomorrow afternoon after work. I guess I can't really do much about it besides whinge. Even if I approach the person that did it, I have no proof :angry:

I would like to respray the rear bumper and also the front (stone chips) but that would mean that all the things that I had planned for the car will be delayed. Big blow to the hip pocket nerve unfortunately.

Oh, the top mount intercooler I ordered last week still hasn't arrive yet. The hoses are being cleared by customs and should hopefully have it Tuesday/Wednesday. Hopefully all works out because the tune will be on Friday. *fingers crossed*

-end rant-

SecaBoy.

Many many people have previously had toyota's.

They stay on the forums but get different cars.

I love keeping updated with everyone's cars and thought you all may be interested in what I drive now. No harm in doing so in my opinion.

Kenneth. - EP3R

and1 - MX5

SecaBoy - XR6T

kolourhero - Evolution VII

ELEGNT - R Colt

Ruimond - R Colt

Spillage - Gemini

Forza - Ford F6

Probably more but there's a few.

Sucks about the swipe :(

Keep going with the mods. Save for the respray later. Perhaps you can cover it with some sort of sticker for now. That's what I had to do with my rear bumper. I like where this car is going btw :clap:

Look what arrived! Didn't even bother taking a picture of the unopened box. Straight into it :P

Size difference stock and aftermarket is quite big. Most would say that it's an overkill of an intercooler but I like it and it works well.

Out comes the stock.

Intercooler in. Now to take care of the hood splitter duct.

All done and dusted. Love it! :lol:

Finally, a flash tune so everything runs well again.

I haven't scanned my dyno sheet yet but will eventually come around to doing so.

It only managed 160.0 kw @ 16psi and around 540nm of torque. Power peaks around 5600rpm and is quite a blast to drive. Unfortunately I have become a bit power hungry but a turbo upgrade just have to wait.

Looking to order a Grillcraft hood scoop grille, Perrin Tower Strut and Perrin Radiator Shroud (engine bay bling).

Then maybe after, some lowering etc, it never ends :help:
