Carbon Fibre Wheel from East Coast Supra arrived today! Hopefully get it installed soon, need a bit of time for this one.

Verus Turbo heat shield came also but it had some manufacturing issues which I can hopefully work out with them directly.

Carbon Fibre steering wheel and shift paddles installed today, SUPER happy with the result. Took about 3 hours all up.

Flat top changes driving experience too as I usually drive with hand at 12 on the wheel. Much more comfortable with the flat top.

Big thanks to Justin from East Coast Supra for the wheel and Simon from IronClad motorsports for the shift paddles

Installed Verus Engineering Turbo Heat Shield

Honestly great service from Verus Engineering, first one I received had issues with the screw holes. I told them about it and they shipped another one to me at no charge. Fantastic customer service, highly recommend.

This one went in very easily

HKS Super Sport Catback fitted today ?



Originally I had ordered a BoostLogic Ti Exhaust from the US. After much deliberation I realised it was going to be too loud and sold it to someone locally for a decent loss ? kept the BoostLogic Downpipe and put that on with the stock exhaust.

Then I decided to purchase a HKS Super Sport Catback from a local business, unfortunately they sent the HKS Super Turbo exhaust by mistake and because I had it shipped to the exhaust install shop, I didn't realise until it was on the car... ?

Drove that for a week or so but it wasn't really the sound I was after so they happily sent me the correct HKS exhaust I had ordered and that was installed today.

Here's a video of the HKS Super Turbo Exhaust also

I assume you got LH drive mats
What do they look like in our RH drive cars ?

Have been following your build matey, looking/sounding good!

Just a quick one, where did you order the Boostlogic catback from? And how much all up did it cost you landed? I know its going to be silly loud, but that's never been something that bothered me

Sure do, they look ok but can tell they aren't fitting exactly right. Hopefully they'll release some RHD ones eventually.

Hey dude thanks a lot! Ordered directly from BoostLogic in the US, took about a week to land in Australia. Total cost for the catback and downpipe shipped was $8k AUD so definitely not the cheapest option.

Unfortunately I think they haven't resolved issues with melting diffusers cos the guy I sold it to had his melt...

Cheers mate. Yeah I priced it up from them too, was around that figure.
Still melting?? Damn.

might wait a bit then.

Many other good, cheaper exhausts out there but if you want Ti then BoostLogic is the cheapest and easiest to get.

I'm happy with HKS Super Sport though

Installed ZL1 addons Rock Guards today

Didn't have to remove the rear wheels but got creative. Total time about 1 hour with my 3 year old bugging me the whole time ?

Really happy with the look and should keep some crap flinging up onto the sides

So I've decided to put the stock downpipe back on and go back to a Stage 1 tune.

Have been getting a bit nauseous from the exhaust fumes when idling. The power & increased flow will be missed but at least I won't want to puke at every set of lights ?

I may sound like a sook but really until you've done it yourself it's hard to know how bad the smell can be, I'd definitely go flex fuel so it has a better smell but finding anything above E10 in my town isn't possible.

Will post up a video of the HKS exhaust with stock downpipe once it's done next week.
