One day you may end up with one

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?

Awesome read Ty and your build thread is awesome seeing how far you have come with the car but some more pics would not go astray

and I have the same braking setup as you and do you find that they start to fade after some really hard braking cause I almost cooked mine going down mount Macedon!

Thanks for the photos C-Man

Aek - yes indeed they are.. Hurry up and get My Sister car up and running for Hunter!

Mark - Shuuuudup - they make the noobs move outta my way

Build thread has been a long one.. and car has come a long way
Thanks guys.

Now with having a full time work car, I have found myself turning the Lib into much more of a weekend / track car..
She's nowhere as comfortable as the Mazdaratti but shes still a dream to drive.
especially now with that ECU, im noticing allot more torque down low, but i really need a centre muffler.. its a bit loud for my liking haha

July Update:

Removed my Injectors and had them cleaned and flowed with all new seals..

one was running 4% higher so I just swapped that one into Cyl #3 Seeing as that is the one that is known to run lean in some conditions.

My Up pipe and headers were leaking

Went about removing the up pipe.. it came out in 2 :/

Replaced with this.. thanks to Cam!

Fully heat wrapped it.

Removed my Headers and resealed them all and every gasket.

(Heat shields are a BITCH to remove btw)

Bolted it all up and idled for about 20 minutes.. all good.. then 10 minutes down the road i was blowing a cloud of smoke so thick i couldn't see the car behind me!

Turns out we must have loosened the Oil Feed line for the Turbo to get to one of the up pipe bolts...

It was pouring out onto the turbo, up and down pipes and half the gearbox!

Talk about a mess!
Sorted that pretty quickly and lost a shitload of oil but now all sorted and running fine..
Took it over to the Car wash and degreased the engine bay.. tidied it up a bit and now i only have a slight smell of burning degreaser.. but that should burn off soon enough.

Also picked up some new Splits for the rear that i got real cheap (was working at the distributor that supplies the audio places)

So they will be going in to replace the crackling Crap that is in there now.

With Tax Money i will finally be getting my roof liner reinstalled.. over a year later would be good to have a roof again haha.

Also due for some new rubber and possibly Track Wheels (rex16's cause 16s are cheaper to burn through haha)

I have noticed I am coming onto boost much sooner and more stable now.. the leak in the up pipe had a massive effect.. so i'm looking forward to another dyno run to see how she goes after a tune!

And I can actually hit 19PSI again.. It was only hitting 15 previously.. the Difference in the pull is crazy! actually feels fun to drive again haha.

Other things on the agenda are...

a GTB Cluster (IM Special)

aruyo376-img600x450-1363339155o6zicm4327

Get the Rear bars re-sprayed (insurance jobs due to arse hats in the car parts etc)

Fit the new GTB Limited Bar

Fit the New Slotted Rotors and Pads (waiting till these are stuffed though)

So, its drivable? meaning you can bring the idler pulley on Wednesday?

good to see the uppipe went to good use.

Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

December Update

Sooo Still haven't got anything sprayed..

Been too busy moving "AGAIN" and sorting the new house etc..

For those that dont know.. I've moved out to Yarra Glen

Living on approx 36Acres

Got 2 Ducks

Bought a Puppy

and have 6 Chickens..

anyway.. back to car stuff..

Had a few issues with Blowing out lower Up Pipe Gaskets.. Currently im using an OEM MLS gasket and its seeming to stay at the moment.

I Just installed the vent mounted boost gauge thanks to Pete.. straight from the RedSled.

1460276_10152023884227978_894038713_n.jp

Boost is not running nice and smooth after i found out some options in the PFC were turned off (Japanese translation FTW)

so now i'm running 19-20PSI

Last cruise, i put my 17's back on..

Cruising along to the city and had an insane vibration on the brakes...

checked later on and well.. Cracked a rotor straight through the outer disk!

sooo shes off the road at the moment..

got some DBA T3 4000's going in with QFM A1RM's

In other news.. Trying to find a slightly larger Rear Muffler.. Magnaflow again but just want it to be a tad quieter.. if i cant find one then ill just leave it though.

Cluster is on order finally
so ill have to redo the change of backlight color on the new one again (cant stand the green haha mines been Orange for so long i forget what stock green looked like)

also some Folding Heated Mirrors if they can be found before i ship the cluster..

Ill post up some Photos of the beast in its new home and around the Farm
