hey guys , so today i was fixing my audio in my car and turned the car on and off while i was doing it everything was all good. Then when i came back 5-6 hours later i couldnt unlock my car i assumed the key battery died i opened the boot and saw that my amp was on . then i realised battery died. i called my mate to help me out he has a civic eg tried jump starting it, didnt work. topped up the water as it was empty. After that i tried my mum camry left for a good 5-10 mins while trying to turn it on in between still nothing. it just makes a clicking sound now. inside lights turn on , headlights dont work but my high beams work ( i have HIDs if that counts. no idea what the problem is , would it be the battery? alternator? or i need a stronger car to jump start? any input will do. thanks guys

Yeah the owner told me that its gonna take 3-4 hours of work :S they gotta wait for it to cool down etc etc. taking the headers off from the top? seems like a tight squeeze lol

Yeah :( . bros exhaust said $320 for it and highpoint mufflers said 300-400 . didnt expect labour to cost that much to get it fitted. not sure where to get them fitted

hey guys i just got quoted from various exhaust shops to get my ported stock headers installed from 300-$400? is this average price? anyone got any recommended exhaust places that will install for cheap in western suburbs in melbourne? cheers.

my currents mod are just CAI and custom 2.5inch custom exhaust. Yeah i just bought a second hand headers from a member on the forums and asked him to port them for me. it costs me 160 as the ports werent too bad.

hey kenshin did peter recommend you to wrap your headers with heat wrap? he told me to do it but im still thinking whther to do it or not :S

hey mate, i just got my headers ported from head2head just last week. Peter is a top bloke knows alot about cars. Everytime i called up it was only peter that answered the phone, so im assuming its only him lol. head2heads number is 9551 9083 . as for the performance increase from headers, i havent gotten around to installing it yet :(

hey guys, i just recently got my headers ported from Head2head :) . Pete recommended to get the headers heat wrapped before putting them on. my question is, i was doing some reading that heat wrapping headers might rust and crack the headers? can anyone confirm it or if its worth heat wrapping?

yeah was thinking about getting a 3a pod filter but unsure where abouts to get one? and shops in west side melbourne ?

hey guys, when i got my cai it came with a battered pod filter ( dents probably from previous owners foglights etc.) well question is should i replace it? would it matter if i just kept it? also any recommendations of which pod filter to get if i needed to change? cheers.

alrighty guys. i just ordered a varex oval muffler. the tip that was ordered by accident was a 3" , any opinions if its too big etc?

PM'ed about trd ss :)

yeah ill try take some photos for you today .

saw your car this morning mate :) just past the sunshine rails. ummm increased the size to 2.5" cost me like 380 cos they attached a muffler on it as well. but i think just custom catback was like 280-300 i believe. pipe wasnt mandrel bend just got it pressed. yeah everything look like it was good. Car feels better to drive tho easier to take off etc.

hey guys today i just got my custom catback done at bros exhaust. after it was done i didnt realise the muffler the gave me ( twin tip one) was too loud. the catback was mild steel, press bent and has 1 hot dog in it. was asking to make my car abit more quiet could i just add another hot dog to the system or would that be to expensive ? or just get the muffler changed? thanks .

far thats sexy man. question where can i get my hands on one of those ?

how much you looking for just rails?

Fixed it, nice! What was wrong with it? one of the wires on the MAF sensor was came off, the soldering came off when i was taking it off lol

Problem fixed! :). thanks for all the advice guys. also why do you have to block the vsv hoses? does it matter if i leave it connected?

ok just discovered today that the previous owner of my car had some wires that were soldered on the MAF sensor, and saw that one of the wires was not soldered together probably fall apart when i was taking it off. you guys reckon it could a possibility?

Did i have to block off any hoses ?cos i just connected it all in. also my car idles at 1100 if this helps. Haha ill tell him next time when we're taking a look at it. i buy the cleaning products from autobarn for the MAF sensor? thanks for advice guys.

does it matter if i took - and + terminal off for like 15 mins? would it make a big difference? was thinking of taking it back to toyota but since i modified the engine ? would that void warranty cheers.

hey guys , i just got a ces cai recently and i just installed it today. there was 2 problems when i turned on my car. 1. the engine light is on 2. when i was driving it, it wouldnt rev past 3 it would just cut out any helpful suyggestion would be appreciated.
