Agree like everyone... Extractors....
Keep the wheels... going bigger won't make the car go faster unless they are Buddy Club P1s :D

Leftover cash from the extractors, short shifter (it's it's manual) or TB... Wouldn't recommend FPR at this stage.... :D

What did u buy from him?

I bought the Apexi Exhaust from him and he delivered to my place FREE!!!!!

As for the Topic of RPW vs. PaceMakers Extractors.. there was a thread about this before... do a search :D ... I don't know if RPW's colour change were part of the deal but my RPW Extractors change colours!! :D

unfortunatly I am still having this delemma, I don't know whether to buy pacemaker or RPW extractors, obviously the idea of saving around $270 comes into it but am also have not heard any complaints about either set of extractors. Does anyone know what the design differences are and their advantages?

dont quote me, but i think the RPW ones have a installation design plus, where the pacemakers is a more involved installation.

the rpw ones are actually tested, and tuned for the magna v6 engines. RPW are also coated with something i think to make them a higherflowing and cooler deign (as for as temp is concerned :P)

Pacemakers are just headers, the come heat coated (not HPC) and require slighlt modificaton to your flex pipes etc.

RPW are a great design and these are full length extractors with new flex pipes etc. You will find you will get a better result from RPW but we would only be talking an extra 1-3kw tops. HPC coating is an additional cost.

Either way any of these are a big improvement over stock.

Pacemakers are no longer around the 350-450 mark. Some place still have a few in stock at that price but pacemarker marked them up by 35% at the end of may.

Get some side skirts, they always make a car
look tough. Some sway bars to help cornering at high speeds.
But you have to get extractors, more power :badgrin:

Um,m - kinda - if u r a MOGWA member you get pre-GST prices - ie 9.09% discount

I would get the RPW extractors personally as they are bolt off bolt on

but that depends iff u do it yourself.

TButcher - y u want picks of my strut bar?? ok - just for u i will get some!! prolly not till next weekend thouhg!!

ummm = apart from that - good luck with your decision!!

extractors = good.

what stereo u got mr_mbquart?

can never spend too much on a stereo

mr_mbquart
22-06-2003, 09:58 PM
my last car was the stereo crazy car, this one I would prefer power. So that means a light stereo (last car had also 100kg of stereo equipment worth $5000). At the moment new deck, splits and 6*9s , one sub and amp that hasn't been put in yet but it will be light on the stereo

I reckon you can get away with just some spanners and sockets - easy!!

But you will need to get under your car - so either a chassis lift or a trolley jack and some chassis stands!!

I had Gnashers car up the other day and i was laying under it - and I would say I could probably change them out completely - jacking bolting everything in about 3hrs for my first attempt.

Just make sure that the engine isn't hot!!
