  1. Lol, threadlocker.

    Branno: Loctite is a manufacturer of adhesives which.includes thread locking glue. i think they had first mover advantage with threadlocker though. i am familiar with Permatex.

    Speaking of calling a product by the manufacturer name (ie- Band Aids instead of plasters), what.do you call a sandwich with various filling that is toasted in a sandwich press that does not seal the edges?

  2. That said, the ECU ChipTorque deals with is the XEDE Processor. I would imagine that the eManage Ultimate would have a higher level of adjustment that may provide some gains.

    Speaking of e-Manage Ultimate; how intelligent is the 2GR? The Viking (plus multiple tunerrs) have said the e-Manage Ultimate won't allow for optimal tuning if i went to 6psi on my 1mz.

    Given the technical advances of the ecu... how restrictive would the emanate be when paired with the 2gr?

  3. :D

    You should see the brace now. Steven got his grinder on so they aren't sitting on the washers anymore. Looks mint with no rubbing. I'll get some proper pictures tomorrow.

    And on that note, I also need a new muffler as I've got a rattle that I can't get rid of. Partially tempted to go for something a little louder (ie - Lukey UltraFlow muffler) than the Lukey Turbo muffler that I currently have on it.

  4. Alrighty. Update time.

    Finally resurrected project 'Fully sick subwoofer' which I initially canned after I had all the wood cut due to the sheer size of the box.

    The box comprises of:

    - Dimensions: 1100x550x500mm

    - 25mm MDF

    - Internally braced (front to back, top to bottom)

    - Holes drilled for 4x12" drivers

    - Stuffed with cloth offcuts and old clothing

    The drivers used are 4x12" Kenwood KFC-W1012's which I picked up for $69ea sometime last year. They are wired in series parallel to run @ 4ohm (each driver theoretically capable of 200w RMS @4ohm).

    In terms of demonstrating acoustic theory (my dad is intelligent but crazy) the project was successful but was a major fail as I neglected when sizing up the enclosure to factor in getting the finished box into the boot. As a result it is currently sitting the backseat while I have a box made to suit the boot by a cabinetmaker; who won't have 2 left hands and will be able to make a box that is more complex than a rectangular prism.

    The awkward moment when you realise it's not going to fit in the boot.

    Had a new strut brace made up since the once I initially made up to be frank sucked. It's very solid and a big thanks to Troy (2XS) who made it up for me. It's nice to have a strut brace where you bang the bar it doesn't do a Rolf Harris.

    Some major maintenance due to be completed on her as well as the final of the parts have arrived and I might have the rocker covers painted in wrinkle black and I'll redo the supercharger in wrinkle black as well.

  5. Yes they will. But you will need to compliment them with some callipers. Andrew357 was using a set before he upgraded to the TRD rotors and callipers.

    Correct. To use the 296mm rotors from the 40 series you will need a set of the front brake calipers from a 40 series Camry or Aurion to use them.
