[danmcccc]

What Zorst did you get?

its one made by a local shop here in ipswich called "SCOTTS RODS"...they have an Ebay store for anyone interested....its a 3inch aluminised steel mandrel bent system with 200cel cat and straight thru muffler...the dump is integrated for anyone looking at it thinking they cant see it...retail for 869...but i got it for a little less coz im pretty good at convincing people i need a discount goooood product tho...build quality looks very high

[danmcccc]

alrighty beaurepairs did my wheel alignment today and they rekon the camber was out about 10mm and it has incorrect toe...so now it drives sweet as a nut...sliders are still a work in progress...but i did fit the exhaust sarvo...sounds good, not too loud but you can still hear it...3 inch looks huge compared to stock and i couldnt believe the size of the factory dump pipe...pathetic...thats it for now...keen as a bean to get the sliders done

its not much noisier at all...the turbo just whistles more and theres a liitle note when you gas it...performance wise its very noticable...got back alot of the torque i lost when i put the 33's on...im hoping you can get the lux back together soon too man then we can hit ripley or someshit

[agauto]

any pics of the exhaust fitted bud?

[danmcccc]

any pics of the exhaust fitted bud?

no pics sorry...will try and get some soon

[Danslux]

Nice build mate. Makes my stocko thing look wimpy. Haha. Awell saving for a lift atm. will hopefully get there someday.

[danmcccc]

alrighty my sliders are taking shape now did not realise the dificulty involved in making them bolt up perfectly and the problems with have the tube hoop mount on an angle to the RHS along the sill as aposed to BUDS which have the hoop mount on the same plane as the RHS then the RHS mounts on an angle to the sill....i thought having the design the way i have made it will make it alot cleaner looking and i believe it has...theyre looking very nice indeed ill get some pics tomorrow maybe

[danmcccc]

my work ute got broken into the other night...they thru a brick thru the window and took my wallet...got everything back that was in it tho, even the $5 note random aye




on a positive note, my sliders are looking like sliders now...just gotta work out how to bolt it to the crossmember somehow...if anyone can shed some light it would be appreciated





cheers
Dan

[Danslux]

sliders are a work in progress atm...almost ready for powder coat..and imma try and get my hands on the new twin motor ARB compressor and rear locker...then when the bank account recovers ill go a front aswell...gonna hit up ARB this week if i get some time...apparently they r only releasing limited numbers or some shit according to a mate...ill find out soon enough tho

cheers
Dan

Mate the new compressor is hear to stay, its there biggest one in the range and is meant for everything, lockers, tyres, air tools etc etc, pretty much anything that can run off air this compressor will handle. How do i know this is because i have already enquired about it all....
Its in there new catalogue, so dont think they would put it in there if it was only a limited edition thing!
Though it aint cheap at near 600 bucks, but i guess would be very handy.

might be exspensive but i reckon going off its stats its 100% worth it...im going to rig it up with a tank aswell...should be sweet

[danmcccc]

alrighty after much deliberation i decided to not lash out and put an order in for the new ARB twin motor compressor the main reason being that the ARB man said its only really useful if your in a hury to pump tyres up fast or you want to run air tools...i dnt really need to run air tools, and most of the time when im done playing i drive to the nearest servo to pump the tyres back up anyways...so i bought the single motor high output CKMA12 compressor...looks the goods...just going to mount it up this week, then sometime in the next coupla weeks book it in for a rear locker, then front around tax time most likely

cheers
Dan

[toddie]

yeah rear locker will be sweet! who you getting to do that? UV at bundamba there or??
