just a little update. i have a "upc" 330mm brake kit sitting in the shed now in Post AU offset all i need is a set of post AU 19" GT-P's so i have have a pair on the front.
also went to Boosted Cruise For Charity last month and displayed with Jason from TIperformance. had a great time.  made it into the "yourFord.com.au" video and there feature page! http://yourford.com.au/2012/news/booste ... rity-2012/ here are some photos:       the new sub box is taking a toll on the windscreen though. its starting to go at the rear vision mirror.  i also got around after C4C to put the "polyair" bags back under the back and a wound the front up some more to get the bumper off the road.    i dont like it this high  and ether dose the 2 piece tailshaft. i get a vibration in the back under heavy acceleration with it this high. it will come back down soon. then ill be happy

 Went to heathcote on sunday for the test and tune. couolda picked a day that wasnt 40 degrees tho.... best run i could get on my 19s was a 15.7. i just had no traction at all. after that i swaped to a set of slicks i had. slicks made a huge difference. my pb was 14.5 at 93mph in 39degree heat, after that i couldn't manage any other runs close to beating that. i did get 10 runs in. there wernt too many cars there because of the heat. i did run a better mph on a slower run. i got a 97mph on a 15second run.  anyway its now time for more boost, more intake mods, new exhaust and water meth intercooling. after all thats done ill go again and see how much faster i can go. on a side note i had CVE tweek the tune last week as ive been running really rich and my fuel economy was horrendous, i had been getting a constant 28l per 100k. now on Sunday on the drive to heathcotte and the runs down the strip and then the drive home i got 15l per 100k so i can now afford to drive again.

The wagon looks amazing!! It's good to see the fuel economy went down a tad LOL

Good work mate, those times aren't bad with that boost level & intake setup - non-intercooled with 39deg heat, plus 100kg of stereo!
15l/100km is also not bad including your runs on the strip! Amazing what difference a little attention to the cruise areas of the map will do. Cheers, Jason

Nice wagon man.
Looking at your engine, the single biggest reduction in performance is that throttle body and tube to the blower. PD blowers are very sensitive to inlet restrictions. You want the original t-body and inlet manifold size as a minimum. |

not too much has happened untill the last couple of weeks, ive just been driving it.
untill i started hearing a metal on metal noise from the front brakes. hmmm time to put the big brakes in that have been in the shed for 2 months.     the kit went on without any real hassles, we needed to adjust the toe of the car because the tie rod ends on the uprights were 5mm further out than my old ones and the cheap 17s i got only just fit over the calipers. i did get some 18's to put on but the hole for the hub wasnt big enough to fit. ive swapped them for some ba xr6 17's. apart from that i have put a 3.4" pulley on the blower and its upped the boost, i need a tune as it pings at high revs so im thinking of pulling the timing back a bit with the dizzy. i dont know how 4psi kept me happy now its 9-10psi and its a huge difference. with the extra power i dont need the 3.45 diff gears so its time to go back to a 3.23 and change to an au diff at the same time. im also going to work out how to get the au handbrake working with the ed cables and leaver. idk how but i will. im aiming to tidy up the sub box and get the diff in by AFD then tune and meth injection after.

its actually not too hard to work that one out. much easier then mating the AU to EF handle. you should be able to just make an extension cable up to go between the 2
