Yea fair enuff, Does the throttle body also have some sorta idle control on it ?

The guy rebuilt the box again in your old car but yeah it is abit of a gamble with parts off TM

really? inever did skids or stuff in it, kelv should put a 25 box in it? they are pretty much bulletproof

I honestly dont see the point in selling junk on T/Me, if youre unsure of the condition just say so, rather than screw someone else over. Chances are theyre into the same thing you are if they are buying your gear??

yeah my thoughts exacly.it will always come back on you

Ask brent to build you a tough to with a transbrake FTW!!!!! much better

are you going single piece driveshaft with that?

did you get the 25det output shaft to get welded up to your existing drive shaft?

Good job, knowledgeable guy and well priced.

hey guys started undersealing car today but unfortunately the other underseal canisters i ordered never showed up so am about half way at the moment . the underseal coats real good i really should of done it first before doing all the mods as im having to mask up alot of stuff. checked the db level of the car today it was 82db at 3000rpm i swear its way louder ohwell at least i dont have to add another mufler. should finnish off undersealing tomorrow night and ill try and arrange for the certifier to come have a look on wednesday hopefully it will just fly through the cert

sweet sounds good man,good luck with the cert guy,hope to see it on the road soon eh.

hey guys car went for the cert yesterday but unfortunately it failed . got a small list of things ive been trying to sort out it turns out the car was 96db had the db reader on the wrong setting . just finished putting another muffler on it tonight but think we had the db reader on the wrong setting because now its reading 103 db after putting the second muffler on it.will re check it in the morning and if its all good ill get the certifier to come back and have a look Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats about what mine was(96db)and putting a nother muffler and a baffle in the end of the tif it only brang it down to 91db

whats the limit for exhaust dB?

Good job, knowledgeable guy and well priced. Yeah I have used him too I seared the hanger bearing in half on my standard vl turbo driveshalft, when launching on the startline at the drag when i got my lsd done at steelie gears, He said better to keep 2 piece on a street car as better balance and nicer to drive.
