  1. Basically, i replaced all the exahust system, 2" catback, high flow muffler, new extractors. Had the catback done first, drove great. Now, ever since the extractors went on ive noticed a significant reduction in power. My assumption is that ive created too much of a nonrestrictive environment for the exhaust, hence not providing enough back pressure on the engine to deliver the power it used to. Now, solutions? I dont really want to have to change anything more on the exhaust to create more restriction (because that would simply mean all the upgrades were a complete waste of money), but was hoping to maybe use it to my advantage by creating more exhaust perhaps? Any reasonable/cost effective solutions would be great. Thanks James
  2. For Sale: RJR Spider Wheels, 17". Only 3 months old, perfect condition. Price: $1300 ($1800 new). Email me on assault_cow@westnet.com.au Reason for selling, I prefer smaller wheels for my paseo, but when they were on it looked sick. PICS:
  3. Hey all, Got a query: When im at high revs (say 4000-5000+) and i push my clutch in, it makes a grind/growny noise. Anyone got any idea what might be causing this/how i could fix it? Thanks James
  4. just out of curiosity, how much would a conversion to a 4efte turbo cost all up. Rough final price for the engine, additional parts, and labour. Is it hard to find a mechanic to do this type of mod (im in WA). James
  5. Hehe, yeh i figgured it might be kinda illegal, but ive never had a cop pop open my bonnet before.... Oh and bout the noice, dont take what i said the wrong way, i LOVE IT :D. Sounds beasty. Mrs loves the sound too
  6. Hello All, Those who have read, this was the first setup i did: But ive decided to change it. I felt i lost power due to the extra distance (and restriction) the air was being drawn from, and that the 'cold' air wasnt compensating enough for this. So i changed it to a short setup, and put a simple little air direction tubing in it. images: Comments please? Thanks James
