dee: its technically not "broken"... its not working how ford intended it (although, thats debateable judging by the response from their "service" department)...

just cant be ****d driving far with my bung knee...

its only getting worse, so the more i use it, the worse it gets...

got to about lunch time today and could barely stand on the stupid thing...

mick: well, if someone is willing to pick me up from springfield lakes and drop me off at home, i'll be happy to be your "drinking buddy"... but i somehow cant see anyone going that far outta their way!

andrew: ROFL @ the last comment!!! HAHAHAHAHA

i only suck on special occasions...

depends... i might do a "soarer girl" and get drunk instead of coming out...

dont think i'll be able to make it... :(

oi cnut!!! its cause of you that i ended up with this ford that keeps fuqing itself!!!

if you hadnt of said anything, i'd be rolling in a hsv r8... so its allllllll your fault...

from looking at turbo charging other NA cars in the past and doing up a comprehensive budget, you'd be looking at the same kinda coin as doing this supercharger...

the only benefit i can see over doing the TRD charger instead of a turbo is if the person doing it wanted a setup similar setup as a 'factory' trd...

which brings us back to the age old comment of "just sell the NA aurion and buy a TRD"...

turbo charging an aurion would let you get SOOOOOO much more power than the supercharger option..

either way, i wouldnt do it... just buy a XR6T... :P HAHAHAHAHAHA

this adam lee guy is pretty good...

he's from melbourne and came up to do the shots..

really nice guy and he has a fair bit of serious looking gear! :D

if you have an NA aurion, then it beats me why you'd go for the trd charger when for the same kinda money you could do a turbo setup...

lol thanks for the offer though... its the thought that counts really!

exhaust finally came today... so i'll get it on over the weekend hopefully...

anyone handy with a welder?

i need to cut the flange off and weld a standard ford flange on it so it can match up with the standard cat...

pics from the weekend:

hahahahaha... bite me... took ya that long to come up with a come back?

sooooooo slow and lame!!!!

^^^ refering to you AND your car...

*OOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOO SNAP*

i agree with mick..

are you seriously telling me that the people who actually WROTE the operating system for the iphone dont know where the holes are in the software that allows jailbreaking?

a company the size of apple only had to employ 1 or 2 people that are good at finding holes in software... i'm 99% sure they would have already done this... lol

if not, they are the stupidest company around...

i *should* be there... got friday off, so cant see why not...

hard parking ftw! :D hahaha

:( :( :(

glad to here she is okay...

hopefully its not the end.. that'd be a great shame! :(

on a lighter note, you should say its fully sik drift damage... street cred yo! :D

the liberty gt (turbo) is sh!t in the power department...

the liberty (non turbo) is even worse!!

but in terms of handling, etc., then the liberty would obviously be the winner over the aurion...

turns out i installed the bov the opposite way around...

sooooooo, turns out that i hadnt installed it incorrectly the first time.

the standard bov has the positive pressure side entering from the side, not the base like most aftermarket bovs... lol

stupid ford/bosch made me question myself!! :P

thanks for the comments on the pictures... but its all RayRei's work... :)

lol very small world...

a noob on the forum buying -JC-'s old sportivo, and now this trd guy... lol

he gave me different stat's though... he said to me that there were 824 in total, and 477 SL's... (although, he coulda made a typo on the email...)

ohhhhh... :(

he has two 3500SL's... a silver and black (my old one)..

silver has the plates: OFA 069

black has the plates: OFA 690

no idea on the meaning of the plates... :)

i've told him to join up on here, but dunno if he has/will...

all i heard was tyre squeal... not that impressive...

i still hold the record for the longest single wheel skid

and corey still holds the record for the longest proper skid.

either way, i'm still longest... i think corey needs to man up and beat me! :P

^^^^ winnnaaahhhh!!!!

that would be the way to wire it up, imo...

Re: Upgrading the braking system, last time I saw it there were slotted rotors all round, QFM HPX pads and race fluid, so unless they fell off somewhere along the way, I would leave the braking system as is.

rotors are still on it... not sure about the pads though...

very very very small city...

so what prize do i get cause i was right about ray being slack/soft and not showing up!!! :D hahaha

justa: nice to meet you and your partner mate. hope we didnt scare you off too much! :)

oh and for the record, Justa now owns "JC" old sportivo... ;)

my guess would be that its a hot dog resonator after the cat with no other mufflers...

sounds VERY similiar to when i removed the exhaust all together after the cat... :)

and for $500 in total, i'd be very surprised if they touched the front y-pipe...

ahhh sh!t... if he's coming, i'm SOOOOOO not gonna come...

personally, i reckon it'd look awesome...

dunno about the cops with the white light on the rear badge though... :)

what day are you guys going?
