very nice, your wheels kind of look like mine now

I see
are you 5 stud now or is that a photoshop?

as long as we are talking about new obsessions... this is mine:

I charge my lipos on the stone bench in the kitchen and next to the sink.
I buy all my gear from hobbyking, great prices on there

ah nice
what model civic did you source the lip spoiler? was it the EK?

also, what's the romeo & juliet spoiler?

get h&r springs there are not really any specific lip spoilers you will have to find one that is close and modify it to fit. the lanos sport has a roof spoiler... there have also been a couple of people that used an ek9 civic R spoiler. also, it's a sad day when a lanos has more dish on it's wheels ...

forgive me if I'm jumping in on this, but from on earlier post it seems like they're for anti surge and increased turbo spooling sound

The turbo we got here is a bit of an oddball, it's an SRI-T in every way except it has the GSI big mouth front bumper and 197bhp map. I wish the turbo we got here had the half leather recaro seats of the GSI, the full leather SRI-T seats are a bit slidey. Good turbos here still sell for about AU$900...

it's funny you want to go back to the lanos...
for my next car I want to get an astra G GSI, I hope I wouldn't regret it and go back to the lanos

Wow, very interesting guys. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
I had no idea pre-turbine backpressure was measured, now the results in the video make a lot more sense!

so the reading was taken before the turbine? wouldn't that affect the reading? I thought you were meant to take it from after the turbo

I don't know why they called it an Astra coupe, they should have just stuck a calibra badge on the back...
Are you going to zLET it?

Sounds awesome. Love the extra spool noise.
That seems like a shit load of exhaust backpressure though... where was the reading taken from?

which big hose? lol
the front one or the back one?
