Wait, you hit the gas at the hairpin

a) yes, you accelerate out of a corner and
b) its FWD

just lost traction and slid a bit, no biggie...
didnt hit anything just did a little pirouette lol

Hey, this thread is about what work you did on you car, not what work you did in your car...

If it was the latter, it could get messy (no pun)

lol and ftoaustralia always sticks to thread purposes!

fair enough...

ducted my intake to infront of the radiator, but i dont like the heat from the radiator heating up the ducting so im thinking itll have to change...

any ideas on some flexible heatproof piping? about 10cm long, just long enough to run beside the radiator without melting

Are you serious? Water wetter? Isn't normal water wet enough??

I cleaned the insides of my windows today. I had this fine film of goo stuck to the insides of the window. I had to clean it as when it gets a bit of glare and I can't see.

Not when you got 2 turbo's shoe horned under the bonnet!

Yep and regular 36 degree days here in Darwin haha. The water wetter has worked a treat I reckon

finally getting my system wired in

Maybe so, just not in the wet, I've learnt that lesson a few times too many

Did headlight fix (last night) looks better, but going to have to do it again i rekon... I think I was just nervous about putting sandpaper to my headlights... o.O

I'll give ya a quick fix, bonnet mount bolts closest to the windscreen, add 5 washers and fasten, farthest away add 4 washers. I did that and my engine bay temps plummeted

What do you mean furthest away man were do you put them washes please show

The closest thing I did to work on the car today was drive it and renew my insurance $1117 later all done. But in saying that if the car get stolen or wiped out I get $18500
