Hey Petrina, I didn't see enough posts of your new wheels, could you add that post to the other 3 threads you missed.

I just thought they were relevant to those threads. two of them about wheels so if it helps someone choose then its a positive contribution..

Im not meaning to flash them about everywhere. When I was looking for wheels I wished more people posted up their wheels for comparitive purposes. For the benefit of those possibly wishing to upgrade.

TO be honest I was very iffy about buying them, still not fully sure on them.

Mine are the 18inch version and I upgraded the tyres to Hancook.

I think the 17 inch version would have looked just as good to be honest.

Just spent the weekend in Sydney visiting my dear old mum for Mothers day. The drive there and back on the F3 was freakin awesome with my new tail pipe. It could be just my imagination but I feel as though I'm getting a bit more power up the top end- it just wants to keep going and going.

any chance of a sound clip/part number?

i dont ask much

Part number is : PEX12-2.25. Got muffler through a local dealer here in Newcastle. If you look up their website you should be able to find a store near you.

Unfortunately I'm pretty computer illiterate , so getting a sound would be difficult for me to set up. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

No irritating droning noises at all inside the cabin.

Bought some EBC Greenstuff pads for the front. Anyone know where I can get some Martini brake fluid from and how much it will cost me??

Droped the car off to get a spare key cut and rattle looked into.

Now have spare key, but rattle is exactly the same. Also needs new drivers side window motor / motor regulator replaced.

Cant look at it for atleast a week, kinda frustrating given I waited 2 weeks get the spare key...

Cleaned the engine bay.

Got the engine up to operating temperature first then sprayed the entire bay with a general purpose cleaner. Let it sit for 5 minutes then high pressure hosed it all off -- Was worried at this point. Thankfully, no issues at all. Started great, took it for a good drive to help dry everything up. Once I got back, I just wiped some OCW on plastic and rubber components, came up an absolute treat.

Noticed that the battery cover is stuck under the air intake pipe, obviously been like that since it was built as this is the first time I've noticed it and it hasn't been serviced yet. Probably going to request a new one as I don't think it would clip back on the way it's bent.

Anyway, just thought I'd let anyone know who was worried about cleaning their engine bay. Looks like it's not as delicate as I previously thought.

Hey I should be picking up some of that General Purpose Cleaner soon, along with heaps of other stuff from Final Inspection. Good to know it's handy for cleaning the engine bay. High pressure hose hey? Do you have one for home pixl, because the ones that are at car wash joints seem too powerful to use for under your hood?
