not stock but still not the best, stock fan still, will be changed very soon, i have a engine lid fan shroud going on too with the twin 11" spal fans, i think ill head down the LTA cooler route but might just get an ebay/greedy cooler for a quick fix/upgrade just because i have all the mountings/shrouds for it. more important is: need to hunt down a lsd gearbox and shafts.

update time: got a rear cusco strut brace off gorilla here on the forums and went and got a eboost street aswell, awesome little unit makes a world of difference and easy as to setup, fan shroud is in too, having a lil trouble with the wolf v500, its at the tuners now again to get it running nice and make a bit more power, it made 200kw on 14 psi creeping up to nearly 17, but driving around was not very nice at all, hopefully they can sort it out or i might have to look at another ECU, vipec or haltech are top on my list but both dont come plug and play and will require a custom loom, and my toys (pushie is a cube attention 2012 model)

Heh, I thought so..... Did you have any issues getting the engine lid fan shroud to fit (primarily the fans in the vented section of the engine lid? I cut two slightly different variants of the lid, one type was for my type of engine lid (phoenix power) and the fans were located further apart to suit the phoenix power vents. I didn't think the phoenix power design would fit on the standard lid though. I had myself a polished stainless, bare al and powder coated Al phoenix power lid to choose from but noticed the bare Al lid had disappeared at some point in time. I must have mistakenly given it to you instead of the 'regular' one. Below is a picture outlining the difference. If you are ever in the area or I am in your area I'd happily supply labour to swap it out for a regular style (should be better fitment for you, infact, I am surprised you got the fans to fit) Let me know :) Regarding ECU's, i'd recommend Vipec or Autronic to you. Haltech close behind those.

Yeah it fits ok. I don't think I need to change it. Just had to make the threads on the bolts a perfect size.

got it back now all done, runs awesome now, im limited now by head flow, adding more timing or boost didn't make much difference at all, so im thinking future mods will be 3sge intake manifold with a custom/larger TB and do cams, has anyone done this mod or if its worth it?

STD cams are rubbish for flow, so yes def fit 264 cams. pretty common upgrade to use the gen1 3sge inlet manifold for the gt4's, modify it to suit a gen3 TB (60mm) and away you go. but your going to have to modify you intake pipe work, or fit a WTA intercooler over the other side.

yeah i know about to modify the intake, just talking to al from AM AUTO and he said to drop the motor and change the gearbox and timing belt while im at it, so maybe not really a cheap upgrade, the intercooler im using atm is doing a good job apparently according to the tuners, but i do want a WTA sometime. might go on the hunt for a second hand built motor, will work out alot cheaper.

yeah but im not sure if they are "road" pedals, one side is normal and the other is clip in, i can clip out by turning my foot on either side, i dont do much big off road stuff so they make a big difference on hills and just pure comfort and less work.

I also saw those Gladman lights on the mr2.com forum, they were doing a group buy. It looks like a good kit, but I wondered if it would be approved for use over here? Seeing as they were designed in the States where they drive in the right hand lane.

Wow I haven't seen them before - have you got a price for postage to Aus? Definitely more affordable then the prices of the Rogue Systems I was looking at.
