What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

My na territory has no leaks despite 360xxxkm in the clock. That must be why I haven't chucked a turbo on it yet.

Sounds nice! I think I was thinking by doing the breather I'd keep the cooler and piping nice and clean.

Yep that other line goes back to the intake before the turbo. Had another bung welded into the pipe but hidden by the BOV return.

I don't get much out of my drain either. Mine just has a bolt and a hose clamp under the car!

Didnt do anything to my car today but just bought a brand new Garrett gen 2 gtx3582r with a v band .83 housing. I will sell turbine housing and add supercore to my collection of potential turbos for my fgx, I have a gen 1 gtx3582r supercore and a old but brand new gt3582r supercore with the plastic bearing cages. My current turbo on car has gt3582r .70 cover with ceramic bearings. I got this latest turbo off trademe for $2800 nzd incl postage. I think I have a turbo buying problem.

Buy an absurdly big one, pretty sure pulsar make a 98mm! It'll come on boost by second or third gear

Decided to, um, go full send on my rear end.

That's a diff bush kit, upper control arms, lower toe arms, and inner and outers bushes for the lower control arms.

I put Superpro replacement trailing arms in a year or so back.

Will all have to wait until my finger is a bit better but it's all ready to go nonetheless .

Got to say that Automotive Superstore were very good to deal with. Part of my order was delayed and they were very communicative before I even asked. Also were great with price matching.

By contrast I ordered a couple of fittings off the Sparesbox eBay store on Saturday and they haven't shipped yet. Has happened with them before.

Sparesbox can get in the bin. I ordered a turbo from them and was told it's an 8 week wait so I got a refund and jeturbo got me the same turbo $500 cheaper nearly straight away.

[El Andrew]

They were way better when they first started.

The only way you'd be happy to wait 8 weeks is if you were getting something unbelievably cheap.

Spares box advertise over here in nz and they are around twice the price as getting them from a nz crowd, iv never bought anything from them, probably never will.

Preach it!

Don't think I've had a single order go smoothly through them. Pity because their pricing is usually very competitive

I don't have a problem with sparesbox... just have to order at least a month in advance
