Just wondering if a ATS TB inlet would make much of a difference??



On a moderately/highly modified engine like mine it will probably make a bit of a difference, but it's not overly expensive, and it looks alot better than the stock funnel shaped piece.


So hence, it probably would make bugger all difference on a standard engine running the standard intercooler and piping?



Yeah, on a stock engine I doubt it would make much difference at all.

I finished my subwoofer enclosure and installation tonight! It turned out so well, exactly as I planned it
It fits exactly behind the lip on top of the storage box, and the bolt that I put through the firewall was lined up perfectly with the hole in the enclosure. I also tried sitting in the passenger seat and I was pleased to find that the seat can be reclined perfectly (to my liking at least) without touching the enclosure (I'm 6ft tall).

Here is the finished product:











This shows the sound deadening on the inside (from Jaycar):



This is how it started:

You can fit 2 targas on the drivers side, my sub-box sits in the cavity on the passenger side so it doesn't sit so high, and can use it as a parcel shelf.

Nice job, thats where I have my subs too. Does a good job there (I have 1 behind each seat), but I have the amp under the passenger seat.

Ive got bigger sub boxes than that, targas rest with the latch on top and the glass down the front no worries.

yes it effects my fulleh siick bass but lets be honest, I don't give a toss about what my reading is on the hectic-ometer. When the roof's off, I have better things to listen to than a girl having a fake orgasm dubbed over a poo pooty drum track with some random claps and the occasional "REDFERN LET ME HEAR YOU MAKE SOME NOISE!"

The stereo? Or the engine?

The stereo setup is 90% complete (although I haven't actually tested any of it yet, because my battery is disconnected and there are loose wires everywhere in the engine bay haha). I trust my wiring enough, as I have wired up complete standalone ECUs from scratch and they've ran first go (including the one on my own car).
BTW, I still need to fit my 1 Farad capacitor for the amp, I'll probably put it inside the storage box behind the drivers seat.

In terms of the engine, there has been minimal progress lately, partially because Full Race made another mistake [:(!] which has delayed them sending the correct exhaust manifold and dump pipe. I'm hoping to receive the correct Full Race parts later this week or early next week at the latest. It's hard to be annoyed at them though, because their products look so damn good!

I have been waiting for the chance to take these particular progress photos for weeks, and here they are finally!
Note that the parts are just temporarily mounted for the photos.

Full Race exhaust manifold (the correct one this time) and dump pipe:









Ceramic-coated intake manifold/plenum (I'm so happy with how it turned out!):









Ceramic-coated heat shields:



And a minor thing, fittings for a remote oil filter:




Enjoy!

Exh mani needs black coating to continue the 'black/polished' theme. :P

I'd protect the water hose in the last pic with a sleeve or wrap of some sort,
things get real hot around there.
just to make it last longer.
