U must be out of your mind to buy a Brand new genuine compressor (around 1K), a 2nd hand one will do the job.Quote:

Hey Mikey, as you have seen, the WRX has happened. Biggest bang for buck blah blah blah, but seriously, I'm enjoyin it. It's stock but still provides a fair bit of entertainment.
FYI, I sold the A/c compressor off the em1 for $40. Shop around bro. Ask Hondarec- Jaygee Rd Nerang, they'll fix you up
Yes! :DQuote:

Wow,feels like a lifetime since I've been on here..
I'm moving down to Sussex Inlet in 2 wks to support my Nan who is in a Nursing home,she's 92.Mentally she is fine but the body is givin' in..
We chat and 4hrs passes like it's 1,amazing.
I just spent 2wks down there sleeping in the batmobile (VERY COMFY,no Sh!t).Sitting in the drivers seat,pop the steering wheel off and cook some Mi-goreng in the passengers seat while listening to MF DOOM (Legend Mike!) completely stoned!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!! Good times :)
I will update soon with some south coast picky's.
Hope everyone is Happy and well and enjoying these Interesting times,no? :)
Take care peoples.
nice one Beez
Keepin it real, life takes us to many places. You live, you learn. Life goes on. It's the magic of our existence.
Sussex Inlet is a long way down - roadtrippin'!
haha yup! 13 hours from here.
Good shit Beez, living life to the fullest as always

Apprenticeship in what? Mechanics or something?

That didn't take long
Howdy all, cant believe this thread got to page 7!

He's been selling for ages, haven't heard from him for just as long
so sad - beeza is the man =)
Yeah what happened to him? I have sent him a few messages, no reply. Might have to do a drive by...
Beez is spending some time down south so he won't be back until Nov I think. Dunno if he'll come back to OH tho'
Hi all.
I'm living in my car down the South coast of Sydney,touring around.
I'll put a thread up hopefully soon...
Sorry..
Bumps
As above, beeza where are you
are u ok
don't tell me the government finally got you
Alive and well! hahaha
Living in a tent and in my car on 200 acres near Washpool national park! RENT FREE!!
And aslo in my car,rollin' on 205/60!/15's for the bumpy gravel bit (only 6k's but if I go up the road into the national pak it's all gravel)
The gravel is only bad after heavy rain,up until they grate it.
There's 6 horses from a neighbours property that wander onto ours and eat the fresh grass.Would U believe 4 of the 6 are ponies and were rescued by the owner because they were being used as tackle bags! Mother F%^kers aye!
When I can can I will get some pics up to show ya the gov aint' got me and are forcin' me to write this or watch them write it AHAHAHAA LOL (maybe).
P.S. I haven't got the net,I'm at a mates house... so random posting... I would have wifi out home I think though..
how do you go gettin bitches to sleep in ur tent met
The only bitch that sleeps in my tent in my Dingo Dog!
No woman needs for me,been there done that!
We get wild dogs out there so gotta keep my girl close.
Fark no woman no internet, no fap?
Met you dun know Beeza.Quote:

Saying that,can't shake the need for a lil' bit more power..I mean the d does EVERYTHING I want,but just to be pushed back in the seat...good feelin'!
I was driving Tim's b16a sir-ii high comp engine in his supa light whip yesterday and man it makes me smile.
So I lookin' to collect the pieces for that over the few months (fingers crossed).
What's the reasoning for living in the tent if I can ask?
Sounds amazing though, had a quick read through the entire thread, would love to do a trip around Australia sleeping in the car, experience dat next level

Hey Beeza, just checked out the thread. I also run a D16Y4 so this gives me ideas :D
As for the ghetto air intake, you don't have any issues in regards to water getting into the pipework do you?
I have some plane along similar ideas but haven't had the time / patience to get around to it yet.
Nice car btw man! Look forward to seeing what you get up to next :)
Hi drops,thank u.I appreciate the kind words mate.
it's an 'open' System not enclosed. There's a few kinks.
Pics added:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/139413.../shares/19DsHk
The only way I could see water getting to where the filter is u were behind a truck say in the pouring rain.
And tbh I did that for a few minutes no problem.
Even if u went through a big puddle it wont get to the filter.
The air is pulled through by the intake aswell as being rammed in from the front.
U cant lose with this system.
Im all tech savy with an internet phone so I can get some pics and info up finally.
Videos added to previous page.page 157.
Next time I will strip the car like im going to the 1/4 mile and do another acceleration video and we can see the difference 120kg makes. (That is 2 dogs,door trims,spare wheel,bed in back etc)
And another when the stage 1 bisimoto cam is put in.
Added pics of the intake system. All done with 76mm pvc piping from the plumbing store.
The bonnet rubbers were removed a long time ago for airflow through the engine bay area.
I am sucking in hotter engine air in there but thiy is the best system for the dusty,sometimes flooded roads I drive on.
Otherwise its too much of a risk what with all this rain we sometimes get too.
I can't run a cold air intake cause no fender lining because of over sized tyres 205/60/15 which are needed on these bush roads.
15×7 bigger offset rims means we had to roll the fenders a lot and cut and bash a couple of things up in the wheel well.
U can see the nice tuck ar the rear. Front fenders had to be flared.
Hey,how bout' a BED in ya civic?!
Check it out,I have 7 trips from 2-6 weeks + HEAPS of nights at friends places,remember I live way out bush.
It's my home away from home. Me and my dingo sleep in there and when at home in the tent.
