[Jmac]

Hmmm... Taxtime is gonna be fun... All these possibilties... Once again, Thanks to all that have contributed. If there are anymore hints/knowledge/advice to be passed on, I'd love to hear from you.

Doc can be very persuasive .. I went with Ecutek tune good reports, for the power curves. MRT will do this very soon .. these fiqures were done with just a spec exhaust....

[Jmac]

Where did you get those charts? And can you get bigger ones lol

Is that 290hp@tw with a tune and an exhaust??? Frig me... How much was the ECUTek tune???

[Doc]

Just make sure you give Chris a call and order one, as he has a list.. and is waiting on bits. So once they turn up, they will be sold to those on his list.. get on it.
Tell him the dog with the hypodermic sent you

[Grajy]

So, what am I ordering from Chris??? :P

Hi all. Just thought I'd share my not too distant plans to my stock '08 Aurora MPS3.
Been in touch with MPSGARAGE, and this is what I've decided.

CPE FMIC (the one with the ram-air)
CPE Dump Pipe
CPE Cat Back
CPE Rear Engine mount

Also, gonna get a good mate of mine to window tint it. And I wanna get some personalized plates too. Spose it depends how much I get back from tax too. .

Comments, advice, thumbs up??? All would be helpful.

Did hell freeze over too?

[RedDjinn]

For you JMAC

Luke, were those figures just exhaust and tune???

[Bankai]

i like your style mate im doing the same thing =]

[Grajy]

I'm so excited about doing this. I can't wait. With great advice on this forum, nobody can go wrong. Good luck to all to those that are modding as we speak. Can't wait to cruise with you all

Hey guys. Thanks for the responses.
Yeah, I'm in Victoria, although I doubt a mod limit applies. Never heard of one...

Quote from the EPA guide on modified cars

Intercoolers that are larger than standard or have a different mounting location or are added where none were originally fitted, are permitted only if no other changes to the intake system have been made. In other words, you may have a pod filter or modified/added intercooler, but not both.

I only mention it because if you have an accident and you have one of those FMIC kits in Victoria then your insurance company may not pay out as it is technically an illegal modification. Feel free to put it on just don't say you weren't warned.

[Grajy]

Ooooo... Thanks for the legal update.
Just like eveyone else, I see this rule as crap. Fricken stupid infact. Anyone know the reason why this law was created??? Oh well. I'm still going ahead with it, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind...
Thanks again, Nepharius.
See, this forum is a world of knoweledge.

think it's because it changes the crumple zones in the car (remember someone mentioning something to that effect)

[Grajy]

Hmmm... Oh well. The CORKSPORT FMIC (ram-air) looks tidy enough to not land me in any trouble, and if I DO prang it, I'll take care of it then...
I HATE illegal things, but this rule is rediculous. Excentuated by the fact that Vic is the only state to enforce it.
Thanks guys.

[KRNAGE]

maybe later on a dash hawk if you want to monitor temps etc and hopefully not check/clear CEL's (check engine lights)

[Grajy]

We'll see. Depends on what I do will determine what I need to keep my eye on. I'm not one that likes to see moving needles and flashing lights. My mind is busy on what's going on 5 cars ahead and 3 cars back.
The more I did around, the more cooler things I'm finding to buy for the engine... Did you know, a mob in the states do a forged bottom end short block for 5 grand AUS. No doubt some more money to get it here, but put a P&P & flowed head on it with some custom ground cams, then all the after market bolt ons you can steal, and it'd be a real weapon...

protege garage?
