[Adie]

Can you bring up my rear flairs if their ready?

[Ryan]

Haven't you been wanting to fit those for some time now Adie?

[bradc]

Probably makes sense if Richard comes to my place on Saturday to do the swap and you meet him here at my place.

Q, you're welcome to stay at my place on friday night, I'll be home at 7 or so, you can buy the pizza :)

[Kenneth]

Got a rear subframe in good condition? (i.e. not rusty)

I want to mess about and change the diff mounts etc, but can't really do it on mine as I drive it to work :P

[scott.mohekey]

Kenneth, I have a couple.. postage would be a bitch! lol.

[Kenneth]

Yeah, thats why I haven't bothered asking!

[bradc]

Q has just bought a diff and ARB sitting in a subframe. Do you want to come around on saturdaymorning and helpdismantle it?

[VR4WGN]

[Gly]

Q, have you got spare good condition power steering/AC pulley wheel tensioner?

[VR4WGN]

[dickytim]

hey can you remember to bring the tool needed to remove an airbag as I don't have one. ;)

[Kenneth]

I may be able to. What time in the morning? I have rock climbing in the afternoon, probably about 2pm so I can't stay for too long.

Also, should I bring tools? (other than myself... lol)

Can you bring the torx thingy to remove an airbag?

[bradc]

Got your text about headlights, I don't have any specialist knowledge about what makes some better, other than to look for ones that have a high plus rating.

[Gly]

yep ill bring the torx,

ill be there 8.30ish,

pm me your addy... havent been there enough times to remember how to get there

[bradc]

Plan sound like we will be going to Manukau first at 8am or so to get that car, then be back at my place around 9am.

[Gly]

ok, i can only hang around till 1030ish,

taking my dad out for part of the day.

[Ryan]

Ooooo, how exciting - a 312kW VR-4 needs to be seen to be believed :d Wish I was there, but... too busy drinking Hawkes Bay's finest :P

[bradc]

We are still out in flat bush, probably getting back at 9:30

[taylor]

Rito spill the beans. I wanna hear about this car

[bradc]

It has external wastegates, a link ecu, straight through exhaust that exits on the drivers side as well as the brembo's. The bilsteins are mine :D

The 312kw claim is simply incorrect, especially as the car has stock turbos and he claims to be running around 10psi. Even with the intake and exhaust system I can't beleive it would be over 260kw absolute max.

[taylor]

What kind of link? externals nice. yeah i was dubious at the power figure but stil an absolute score

[VR4WGN]

heres some pics,um the last 1 can speak for itself!!
Good day yestaday,thanx boys,good to finally meet the mr C too...:helmet:

[VR4WGN]

they hype for me must be the REAR SCUFF PLATE.. i finally have 1 on each car now lol...

plan is to put this gear into the Mivec and sell VR4WGN,but keep my plat eofcourse.....

[taupodrifta]

where have they mounted the rear external would love to see so can compare it to mine as I wanna move mine from where it is

[bradc]

Remember the bilsteins are mine :)

Before anyone asks, in that last pic from left to right is dickytim, Kenneth, then me

Where are your shoes brad?

[bradc]

At home

[dickytim]

Where are your shoes brad?

Hobitzis doesn't need shoooz.

[dickytim]

BTW guys no squeal :)

Well not forward anyway.

I miss my squeal :(

[bradc]

Drive backwards?

[dickytim]

Drive backwards?

Very tempting, but I am not sure I could get the motorway speeds with the current gearing, I might need to raise the rev limiter.

[VR4WGN]

ohhh the car arrives tomorrow,i cant wait!!! i want to try start it aswell.... Brad im going to rip the springs out of the car asap and send them up to you ok. do you want to change them over?

[bradc]

There isn't much need to send them up to me, I'll pop down in the next few weekends and we can swap them. Maybe 25/26th?
