It's time for a change of exhaust for the LS2... I'm looking at a full stainless di filippo twin 2.5" system. Eastern Automotive (Paul Manuell Racing) in the 09 are sole distributors for the kit I believe.

I'm real keen on the sound that these systems have that I've heard on similar LS2 V8's. The stock LS2 VE is far too quiet and lacks any real presence or rumble. I don't require more power, just the rumble..

Looked at numerous other systems, but prefer the di filippo, unless somebody has got some better ideas suitable for an LS2 VE SS or Clubsport. (/looks at pitmonster... emailed you bro )

Mate's safari broke down, asked him what was up. Turned out the silicon hose from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder was starting to cause clutch fade once the vehicle warmed up.

Imagine that! I loled.

I wonder what 335km/h would feel like on the desert road? It would take just over a minute to traverse the 7km straight part.

Something like this, but orange and dusty instead of green and grassy.

Lost a few pounds with my new dumpie, so chucked on a tap to regain the lost boost. Twin Turbos are a pain in the ass to plumb up is what I learned, 2m of 6mm hose later, lol.

Want to go with IC hard lines, but don't want to get rid of the 1Gs trade mark plumbing.



Had to take the dizzy off, take the lid off and check the rotors 3 times before I got it running again. Sounded pretty gangs when it was missing every few beats.

Attention New Zealand, the lacking availability of dope wheels in 14x7, 4x100, 0 offset is fucking embarrassing.

How am I supposed to make my shit illest if I can't get the dope rims??

Gay how? Supra is obviously a female car name.

Mustang... Male
NSX... Male
Hilux.. Male
Supra.. Female
Celica.. Female
Nova.. Female
Marion Cobretti.. Female

You know how it works.

More to do with the fact I bought an advertising poster from 1986 (has date printed on the back, thats enough to bar me up) for a Supra, a shame its not the 2L TT supra

Was going to put it in a frame in the garage, buuuuuut decided its sweet enough for the lounge. Add it to my XX B pillar emblems.

Bogan that shit up, CHUR~!

you are seriously a douche of epic proportions. Not like douche as in "man fuck those guys that just sit there trolling and baiting and spamming NZg all day" but like, a genuine douchebag.

I wish I knew what gameplanet did to get you to leave.

Finished cutting out and tidying up the loom, this is the amount of wire that I have removed that was counter productive to the cars operation, lol. (supra)

Wish I had taken a before and after picture.


Bell housing and flywheel + ring gear for the uz. Custom gear is $$
