No, it sort of sounds like a rattle.

Doubt it would be the pod, shouldn't be hard to locate if its that loud though, just start it up and listen and feel around the engine.

Open pods are pretty loud during cold start up (cold=rich)
If finances r sweet get the Beamssssss man, beats gen 2 and 3 worked or not anyday ;)
Also hi-flow Tridon could be the Gen 3 one with is 25% bigger than Gen 2. Make sure u get the right one. I have a Gen 2 one handy just fyi...

Yeah I shall be doing that,
Ill find it :)

And yeah I'd like to go a redtop tree,
Ill see what I can do,
That would be awsome what did it cost you to get it done? All up

If I could source one maybe I could get the boys in the workshop it put her in
But I'd need an ecu and god knows what else...

You can keep the cost under $5000 easily parts and workshop labour.
Just_ace might have a spare loom for redtop, I have a spare ECU that I will hold on for a bit.
Wrote an article in the tech guides if u wanna know what I went thru, parts etc

Yeah link that shut to me man

Yeah I think at least redtop engine not to fussed on the gearbox mine is actually really good

LSD would be nice tho

But loom and ecu,

Then most likely alternator, and water pump
2-2.5k in parts maybe 3
And I'd say 1k in labour if I con the guys to do it

Hahaha.
History is repeating...

Buys NA - has fun
Sells NA and buys Turbo - doesn't have fun, starts spending money.
Sells Turbo and buys NA - doesn't have fun, starts spending money on a BEAMS conversion.
Sells NA and buys Turbo (now on Opens) - rinse and repeat.
 
In an alternate universe....
Buys AW11 - Never sells it, has too much fun actually driving it, still beats Tree at MTC2014 ;)

A BEAMS conversion counts as an illegal modification while still on your P's. "Any modification that improves engine performance", VVTI would come under that.
 
You have a year until you're on your opens. I drove my turbo around for around two years while still on my P's. Just don't go lapping town on a Friday night and you'll be right.
 
It just seems like you're wanting to spend money on an inferior car with an inferior engine, while still breaking the same laws.

Ahahah

No it wasn't even that
I just never drive the turbo
And had more fun in my Na

I think I'm just going to stick with the Na
Do some handeljng mods
Then either convert to a beams
Or build a 3rd gen Na in a year or so

:) I had a lot more fun with the Na then the turbo

Gatesys SW20
:) I had a lot more fun with the Na then the turbo

Am i dreaming or .....

Turbo's just go hand in hand with hard parking at maccas
