I Got Mine Today Too

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2005, 02:43 AM

Good stuff Tom. I'll be fitting mine tonight, so you're welcome to come on down if you like!

TeeBee7 · Aug 8th, 2005, 02:50 AM

I just printed out those instuctions from north america motoring - had to re-fill the printer with paper half way!

Hmmm it would be fun to drive to Canberra, but I think I'll pass this time. If I could leave now I'd do it

, but I'm busy til after 6pm

TOM

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2005, 03:00 AM

Haha!

I'll be fitting mine with the assistance of Andrew, his garage is about 3m from his lap top, so I'm sure we'll be referring to tha thread quite a bit tonight ... and I reckon it might take us longer than the suggested 30 minutes!

Hey steady on

Oh you mean cause you'll be providing the "assistance"

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2005, 03:22 AM

We have to eat the pizzas as well don't forget.

Who is providing the beer

no good to see you guys got your intakes, you will have to provide some feedback on what you think of them.

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2005, 04:02 AM

Well I don't drink beer

but I did offer supplying for Andrew's benefit and he declined.

I think we’ve got a couple of stubbies of Melbourne Bitter at home if we get really desperate

Will do, once i actually receive the *******..

Baker · Aug 8th, 2005, 06:32 AM

You won't need the instructions - anyone with half an idea of how to work a screwdriver and shifter can figure it out without them! Its pretty easy to fit.

Still havn't got mine...

TeeBee7 · Aug 8th, 2005, 09:24 AM

So Liam, how does it sound? does it GO any better?

TOM

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2005, 11:37 AM

All fitted!

Sounds

(Although the whistle when on light throttle will take some getting used to.)

Goes

(Not sure if it really does go any better, but it seems to pull a bit harder after gear change, and seems a bit stronger at about 4500rpm and higher.)

I need to get some fuel so I'll take a pic then.

As for the instructions, it is pretty straightforward but the HOW-TO on NAM is actually quite good and has some good tips for pulling bits out and putting them back on. And you really do need tin snips.

Back soon.

A special thank you to Andrew for the use of his garage, his tools and his expertise too. And cheers to Kyle for his assistance as well, including the escort to his friends place with the tin snips.

Installation all up would have taken about an hour I'd say, and it was reasonably simple, although I have Andrew to thank for that.

You may need to get a new hose clamp for the small pipe (air return?) off the silicon hose as we were unable to get the reusable OEM clamp back in place.

Todd! · Aug 8th, 2005, 12:50 PM

I also recommend getting a piece of rubber to but on the drivers side lower edge to stop air coming in from off the exhaust... Aaron (setox) gave me the heads up on that one - worked well...

Especially when it comes to very little airflow on a dyno

So have any of the Victorians got it yet?

minigolf · Aug 8th, 2005, 01:26 PM

Todd, is that to plug this gap (where battery leads can be seen)?

That piece came with your kit. You can see it in the pics you posted. The short straight piece

TeeBee7 · Aug 8th, 2005, 09:24 PM

Nice job Liam and Andrew, very professional looking fitment.

I don't think I will be able to wait either, I'll probably have a go at it tomorrow after I pick up my kids at 3pm. Anyone want to come over and give me a hand?
