Just say race car and slammed the car and drive off into the sunset

Pretty sure its the same thing that I've seen used on Subaru's to clean their engines. Upper engine cleaner, sea foam, carbon cleaner is designed to clean the intake manifold and combustion chamber.Quote:

Hey chrischris that makes us neighbours lol I'm from dandy. Interesting choice of wheel color on silver. I love white wheels but never thought it'd work on silver
I always loved white rims, finally got some time to do it, first time spraying wheels with paint and not plastidip. Pretty happy with the results though :).Quote:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to lolmclol again.
Been avoiding study for my exams, and doing abit of muffler shopping.
What you guys reckon for Varex MP01? I have an auto, so can only really do an muffler mod..
Before going a head with it, is there anything I should take note of? MP01 is a relatively quiet muffler (which is what I'm going for), so it should pass any sort of tests etc right?
since youre only doing the axleback then go for a nice jdm item
i would say Spoon n1
I forget to mention, it's 20% family car too, so can't have it too different from stock. Had a listen to some audio of the Spoon, too much for my liking haha.Quote:

Hmm ok,but was that full catback? will be louder if full spoon system
If cat-back you mean JUst the muffler then yeah.

Well JDM concept does sell the muffler for about 500 bucks hm... pricey.
Yeah. I still want them. But I havent had a chance to go up to your area.Quote:

You're good at convincing, but how much louder than stock is it? Like I said, all I want from the muffler is to have it a tad tone to it vs. stock. Nothing aggresiveQuote:

Hi guys, im planning to buy those bolt on spacers. Any recommendations?

Or CR Kiwami Ultimate 17'' +38s..

Honestly. If you are going to change the muffler only, then any will do.
I had a $60 No Brand Twin Tip Oval Muffler. Then i got a xForce Twin Loop then the Varex (Current One).
All sounds Slighty the same until i removed the mid muffler. Theres only so much noise the car can make with all the resonators in the standard exhaust system.
I PERSONALLY wouldn't buy the J's Racing if you're doing muffler only. Unless you plan on doing the full system later on.
No point of getting a 'High Performance' exhaust to make a Slight noise difference.
But thats my opinion.
Dis is good. Unless we're forced inducted people only get exhausts for noise. All show no go.Quote:

There's H11 plug HIDs too, which I purchased for fogs, and the above link for the main low beams.
It's the all-in-one kit, as you see by the picture, as I'm too clueless about the whole mounting the ballast etc.
I got the 4300K HIDs for both. As I actually don't like having any blue tinge like the 6000K bulbs do.
So installed them, and took them for a ride.
Surprisingly, the HID did not have that "blinding" glare effect that other PnP HIDs seem to have (from what I've read). I did not adjust the alignment at all.
And from the before and after pictures on my phone, the beam pattern is almost exactly the same as the halogen bulbs (I had OSRAM Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs).
I got my mate to drive the car, and I drove his car in front to have a look via the rear/side mirrors, the HIDs didn't even seem to reach my eye level.
Only con, is that the Foglights, may need some adjustment (if there is???), as it's very bright, it seems to overpower my low beams...
Overall, pretty darn happy, it's pure white, with a tinge of yellow, so it's basic a more intense stock halogen look.
I'll put pictures when I'm bothered to plug in my phone! haha
Edit: The seller, awesome fella, replies to all messages, even the stupid ones .. lol.
Lol I dont have connections like some of the guys on here.Quote:
