UPDATE
Finnaly getting around to writing an update. I got a bit lazy for a while and didn't really do too much to the car but i'm getting back into it!!! lol I just installed an Injen CAI which was a lot easier than i thought it would be, only took me about an hour. I know people say not to worry about the exposed filter but i does make me feel a little uneasy when it rains. Even after i wash my car the filter is always wet. So with the help of my old man who is a refrigeration welder, i'm going to design an aluminum box so the filter is completely covered and then run air hoses to it from the front bar and he will fab it for me. I have been working on a few designs but it is quite difficult to get the measurements right but i'll get it done eventually. One thing i have noticed is my fuel economy is much better with the injen when driving sensibly which is great! and the induction noise is awesome aswell!!
I am also about to have a Fujitsubo Powergetter installed which i got from Shakeel up in Sydney, great bloke btw, should be installed this Thursday, i think i have made the right choice with this exhaust but if i find it too loud ill just sell it and get an RM01A. I am now in search of an aftermarket header and still not sure of what to get. The Kiddracing header has been suggested to me, and i'm also considering TODA but i don't want to have to wait for an order! lol would be great if i could find a decent second hand set!! hint hint anybody :P
I have also recently been looking into upgrading my brakes as i am planning to attend a track day at Winton very soon. I know a bloke who works at my local Pedders work shop and he suggested that I start with one of the Tampered Motorsports track days as they are good for beginers. If anyone knows of any other days coming up at Winton in the near future let me know as the Tampered Motorsports days are the only ones i know about.
Anyway from the research i have done i think i'll start with a set of DS2500 pads on the front and a set of DBA 4000 series slotted rotors as i have heard good reviews about them. I considered getting a Willwood or StopTech BBK from the states as they are well priced but i think the above combo will suffice. Also going to flush the stock fluid and replace with Motul RBF600 fluid. I have purchased a Mugen oil filter and also some Redline 10-40 synthetic oil which will go in with a service before i head to the track.
Also i want to get peoples opinions on swapping out my Type S seats for some SR4 recaro's. I don't particularly like the leather, cold on your arse in Winter and hot in summer, and i slide around way too much. I would do it straight away but i'm just worried about losing the use of the side airbag. I'm also thinking i could just get a harness to hold me in properly when i go to the track and keep these seats. What do you guys think?
Will hopefully have more updates soon, cheers
