I use my Macgyver ways!!

Nah theres a little button on the top ofthe screen which folds it down quickly, but doesnt slide in, then just push it again to fold it back up.
Too easy.

Heater is for girls anyway, only used when the missus is with me lol.

skitzophreNic- 06-28-2009
hahaha yeh true the ef has no a/c or heater,

then the ED has had its heater box removed.

Will be getting the new exhaust done sooner than i thought, as one of the bloke off proUTES has put his name, and cash, down for my curret system.

Will be calling Dom tomorrow to try book it in asap.

New system will be a boost friendly mandrel bent, twin 2 1/2" in stainless steel, with an x-pipe and running Magnaflow mufflers this time. Bit worried about gettig rid of the Hookers but Dom swears by the magnaflows so i'll give em a go.
Instead of running out the same side out of the factory located exhaust outlet, they will now be exiting out one on each side.
Exhaust outlet will be deleted (plastic welded up and smoothed).
Tips will be hidden up underneath the corners of the rear bar. Only really visible if kneeling down, hence why Nic may get a good view often wink.gif

Should look and sound the shit!!!

XH5LWEPN- 06-28-2009
Yeah Nic, i might ditch the a/c when the next mod goes ahead too. I havent used it in 3 years of owning it.

edsprint- 06-28-2009
Yeah, magnaflows are the shit!! I have them on my car, and my sprint engine sounded F******G AWESOME with them!!! You won't regret it... They are LOUD too... biggrin.gif

XH5LWEPN- 06-28-2009
Yeah loud is good when your on the throttle but when cruising i hope they arent droney.
The hookers have no drone whatsoever, they are great, and make a hell of a noise on the pedal too. Just a very distinct note, very yanky.
Im sure i'll be happy with them, we'll see.

edsprint- 06-28-2009
Yeah mate, no droning at all... Even hooked up to my current shit engine and auto I still don't have any droning. You'll love em. smile.gif

Gazza, no worries mate, glad i could sort it.

Damon, "steel" belts, not seatbelts, lol.
Basically destroyed the paint on the rear passenger side when it let go.
Will be going to Adaptable Smash in Landsdale this week for a quote.

FTe_XR8- 07-12-2009
haha steelbelts damon! either having some fun or an accident either way thats bad news for the quarters, and i dont know how your gonna make it look any straighter but im sure you will!
very jealous with all the new gear!

Kilma- 07-12-2009
Hahaha. Whoops. Was thinking a passenger got out and flung the seatbelt around to scratch the paint, but was wondering how the rear 1/4 got done. wadesta/LOL.gif

gazza- 07-12-2009
