Melbourne cai day - been and gone

[Rupewrecht]

Hey Melb crew,

Mr Payner wants to do the ol' filter/CAI mod to his car...

And i know Cityend wants my old setup...yeah?

So when is a good weekend for you two to come over and hack stuff? :;):

this weekend is out, but the weekend of the 10th? or maybe one day of the easter long weekend?

oh, and i haven't forgotten you Boyd :p *I know you want some piping too

[SehnKhan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, naturally I'll be there ;)
I can't this weekend or next weekend, following perhaps? (19th/20th)[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]:D

I'm flexible. Being a "Relaxation Therapist", time is on my side. :laugh:

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

haha!

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[CityEnd]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]sweet!
next weekend is free atm.
i dunno abt the eater weekend, might be busy then. just have to see. =)[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]i'll come if i can :)
I'm fairly booked for the next 3 weekends, but u guys choose a day and i'll come if im free.

i wanna re-do some of mine anyway.

Dave[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]i wanna fibeglass my funnel section! maybe......

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]i dont get why ....

but anyway if u wanna f/g u better make sure its a warm day !

u should've done that while it was summer imo :)[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]ok...Sunday after Easter? the 27th...

and why the hell would you fbg the funnel?[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]kewl i have that sunday off :) ill come for a look :P FG the funnel to the piping. just an idea....[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]but WHY? ???[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]yes... WHY ?!

something to stick it, like glue or tape or even melting the funnel onto the tube would make more sense.

27th is the day after my bday ! :D[/color:post_uid0]

[SehnKhan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]27th will be good for me too ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[Cosmo Dude]

[color=#810541:post_uid0]Bugger,
I was planning on inviting you to Shepparton for a day on the skidpan at DECA on the 27th.
I'd better post that one now :p

Rod[/color:post_uid0]

[Asterix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I wouldn't mind getting mine done.
What do I need?[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]recommended items :

K&N Panel Filter, or whatever good panel / pod filter u want.
Tubing. ( may be supplied if Dan has some left ??? )


a slab of beer to kick-start the afternoon :;): j/k[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Bags some of that piping Dan! :D I think i might just go 1 pipe instead of 2. I don't really want to cut open the box.

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]if anyone cant afford/get their hands on a panel filter by the 27th then just get the induction/piping work done and leave the stock filter in there until you can chase up a K&N or whatever brand u want

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[SehnKhan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I have the K&N pod filer already instaled. Let me know whats happening with tubing as we all may need to grab some before the 27th.[/color:post_uid0]

[quote:post_uid0="MrPayner"][color=#000000:post_uid0]*:D *I think i might just go 1 pipe instead of 2. I don't really want to cut open the box.

Adam[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#0000FF:post_uid0]why would u go 2 pipes for? isnt it common sense to have one big pipe? Maybe 4" or 5" pipe.


-Mick[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]where is this going to happen at peoples?![/color:post_uid0]

[Asterix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]What sort of piping (exactly) do we need?
Aggy pipe with the holes/slits in it wouldn't be the best I guess - kinda like drinking thru a straw with holes cut into the sides? Yes/No?
Also, what is the best diameter for this?
Do u use a black poly material?[/color:post_uid0]

[Trav]

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]Found a good little manual for making your own CAIS...

http://neptune.spacebears.com/cars/stories/coldair.html

Bit moer complicated tan what Dan has in mind, but not bad. Also check out the new info from AEM Racing - someones making a science out of this stuff...[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Okay, answers to lots of questions:

Sik - yeah, normally 1 would be better, but at the time i couldnt get the piping that i wanted in a big enough size.

Pr1mo - probably at my place as i'm organising this so you can all go to hell :p :laugh:

Asterix - I used non-perforated agricultural pipe for my old setup. Not the best, but it works. best diamater is the biggest you can get! but probably no more than 4". I think the stuff i have is about 60mm

Should be enough tubing for 3 cars at [u:post_uid0]least[/u:post_uid0] i'd say

But if someone wants to buy the plumbing corners and pipe then we can give that a go - which would be better for airflow as the sides are smooth.[/color:post_uid0]

[Trav]

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]Take over of dan's street for a day. hmmm you might need to move some of those ummmm errrrr other ummm errrr cars out of your driveway though. we don't want ny ****boxes in the CAI Day Photos....

On the tubing - 3" PVC and a blowtorch so we can shape it....

Hay dan, just to throw another Q in the pot, where do you plan to run the pipe to?[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]in the past on the hatches the piping has been run to the bottom corner of the front opening. *In Dan's case he removed his parking lights and ran the pipe to where they used to be , with mesh over the holes.

I want to change my pipes anyway so someone can have mine ( 2 ) if they want.

... And if i manage to find pipe i like! *
... And i actually turn up :p[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]its a shame that dans pipe no longer satisfies your needs dave. hopefully someone else will come along with a bigger better pipe with your name written all over it

:;):[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[quote:post_uid0="Trav"][color=#000000:post_uid0]hmmm you might need to move some of those ummmm errrrr other ummm errrr cars out of your driveway though.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]if Yyou want to push the astina out onto the street and [b:post_uid0]back[/b:post_uid0], you're more than welcome to :p

But running piping for the HT is easy - there's a readymade hole in the lower grille next to the driving light.

The Hatch is a bit more of a pain, as there's less rooom behind the bumper. As pr1mo doesnt have driving lights, we ran his to in front of the radiator to where the driving light would be. But i you want to cut a hole in the front bumper (a la EZZY) it'll be much easier :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[JynX]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]pr1mo just made a funny.... will pigs now fly?[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]would cutting a hole ala. the setup i have now result in the front bar needing a respray?!

oh ull haftaget some mesh moulded up/modified to make the hole look good too :P

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]oh u can fit 5 cars end to end up my driveway too cheers mike

crap thing is i dont live near anyone[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]i ain't pushin' squat - we'll just stick a wheel tag on it and cover it with a big white sheet :p

money constraints at the moment, so prolly won't mod mine this time, but would love to come and help. I love work - I can stand around and watch it all day :p

BTW is there a date set for this? (don't you buggers dare make me go back through all the posts either :angry: )[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]sunday the 27th yes dan?[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[quote:post_uid0="Trav"][color=#000000:post_uid0]i ain't pushin' squat - we'll just stick a wheel tag on it and cover it with a big white sheet *:p[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]it already has a sheet over it! :p

and if whoever does it is careful cutting the bar, it wouldn't have to be resprayed.

Yes there is a date set for this...the day after Dogo's birthday! :p :laugh:

And yeh, if anyone wants to mesh their front bar at the same time, i'm sure that can be done too :)[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]how old is dave anyways? 23?

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[Trav]

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]hmmm 27th. Camping that w/e but might come over if y'all still going in the arvo. so long as you don't mind seeing a dirty astina fully loaded with towbar, roofracks.....

but then again that means there will be plenty of abled bodied peoples to wash it for me.....

I'll see how it all goes and give dan a call to get status when i'm on my way home...[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Looks like Sunday could be Funday! :) [27th April]

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]ive been thinking for a while doing the hole in the bumper idea, so thats what i plan to do on the day. *and no, im not just trying to be like u , mike :p

And if any1 needs some electrical/stereo stuff doing im always keen on that ! *
I'll possibly do some stuff to my system if im in the mood.

i can bring ramps. *do we want ramps ? although its kinda hard to get a lowered car onto them, it is possible !

* Dave remembers making 'steps' for dans car ages ago to get it up on the ramp *[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah, ramps would be good. We might use them!

Dave - don't forget the Milo tin to do the chrome ring around you bumper hole LOL :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]wouldnt mind arming my bonet and boot! slackers didnt do it when my alarm went in!

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[Trav]

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]after putting my alarm it - that's the easy bit - bonnet and boot - don't need to put head/arms/mouth/teeth/feet is stupidly uncomfortable postitions...[/color:post_uid0]

[KittyKatSmack]

[color=#736AFF:post_uid4]Any of you Melbourne Mob fancy a trip to stunning Canberra for a bit of a get together? Don't forget the Pr0n and the Fireworx! *Huge selling points*

Early to mid May, trying to convince the Sydney members to come down on the pretext of a CAI day, but the idea just keeps growing in my head.......

Throw on the BBQ and have a bit of an Astina GT get together for those that can make it.

No excuse required, just a cruise of the Melbourne Mob to Canberra, the Sydney Siders to Canberra, and we'll have the Barbie ready..... and some great photo's, some terrific laughs and a chance for everyone to meet n greet, say g'day and point and drool at the cars.......

If only the Queenslanders weren't so far away..... *sigh*

What do you think?
Too ambitious for the newbie Kitty?
???[/color:post_uid4]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]sounds like a good idea. *If all goes well i spose i might make the trip up *AGAIN *! *:)

so, lets drag all u ppl down to melbourne.

pr1mo, if u want ur boot and bonnet done, come prepared with a bonnet alarm switch *( usually a little sliding pole thingy ), all the wire u need, and know which wire from ur alarm u need to hook up to, and preferably which wire from the boot to hook up to. *Although the boot one should be fairly obvious. *i think i know the wiring in my boot back to front. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[SehnKhan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Can't see myself going that far again . . .[/color:post_uid0]

[CityEnd]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]interesting.... might have to call the "CAI day" into "DIY mod day"

i was wondering if i could get that switch for the antenna done =)[/color:post_uid0]

[CityEnd]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]oh, just remembered another thing... getting the front meshed...

where can i get black medium sized mesh? i was thinking of a different style to jynX's. more like following the shape of the body, if anyone gets what i mean.... like instead of behind the bar, but in front...[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Dan informed me that Autobarn or a similar type of place may stock the mesh you're after. I actually have to go down and check it out myself as I'd like to mesh my bar too.

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]switch for antenna - no problem! *all u need is a switch. *From Jaycar/Tandy/Dick Smith *or similar. * Or Autobarn and hardware shops usually have them too.

Otherwise, i've got a few lying around that i can give u.[/color:post_uid0]

[SehnKhan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]A little off topic - Dave: Saw your car parked in Smith St Fitzroy the other (Maybe Friday?) Night. Yelled out your online nickname, some chick thought I was referring to her lol :D

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]yep, ive done melbournre CBD left 9:30pm made it to YASS by 3:30 that night. Another hour down the road is Canberra

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[kyra]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Payner,

i've driven from doncaster to wollongong in 9hrs last christmas...it's not about speeding, only stopping for fuel once. canberra is a minium 1-2 hours, so yeah, 7-8 hr drive!!! it's almost cheaper to fly up there![/color:post_uid0]

[Dogo]

[quote:post_uid0="pr1mo"][color=#000000:post_uid0]left 9:30pm made it to YASS by 3:30 that night.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]was that with me ? im sure we left later than that. and stopped for the sleep at abt 5:30 if i remember correctly ...

PIKERS !!!

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]nah that was when me and dani went :P only had a half hr stop in aulbry[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I reckon! Plus it also takes a poofteenth of the time to fly! I was thinking of driving up to bowral for a week or so if i got the job with the NAB [didn't need me to start until the 28th April] but seeing as i didn't, i can't. Bugger....

Doesn't matter. :(

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I am definately there.[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

PArk in the driveway, or out on the street, i'm not fussed :)

[Anonymous]

i would be there, but i've got greek easter on sunday, so i can stuff my big black guts!!!
what are the K&N filters going for? just the replacement for the stock filter? still $85? does it make much of a difference?

[MrShadow]

Better get a move on with banning Guests from posting Dan :wink: :)

[kyra]

i'm not a guest... it's bill... KYRA!!!
i have no idea why it put me down as guest.... sorry for scaring you mr payner!!! hehe

cheers,
Bill

[mrpayner]

Haha, apology accepted, but it was MrShadow! LOL :lol: :lol:

And might I say that MrShadow is looking more life-like now!! HAHA!!!

Adam

[MrShadow]

Ahhh, wrong "Mr", Kyra. And it didn't bother me in particular, just thought I'd mention it... :D

[pr1mo]

another fiddley job im thinking about for sunday is filling in my keyholes.

ill put up another thread about it :P

cheers mike

[SehnKhan]

I have stashed my 80mm tubing in the back seat. Was hoping to get the clear indicators on the car over the weekend but they still have not showed up. Gaggle :shock:

[Rupewrecht]

Okay, it's tomorrow peeps

turn up any time after 10ish. Address is 11 Bader Court, Rinwood North

i've still got 10m+ of tubing available for use/abuse

Someone might like to bring cable ties or a suitable wire to control the piping inside the guard, as i'm not sure what i've got

warning: i've just getting over a cold so i'm not infectious, but i'm sniffing more than a coke fiend atm :wink:

cya there!

[Dogo]

i'm sniffing more than a coke fiend atm :wink:

please leave pr1mo's addictions out of this !! :P

[Rupewrecht]

ROFL see now i was being nice by not naming names :wink:

[Rupewrecht]

Meh, it's pissing down with rain, and has been for the last hour and a half...

[.::Astina|Brad::.]

IS the CAI day still happening even though u mite get water sucked into your engine :? (i'm a paranoid one aren't i)

I was just thinking... you guys need a webcam or maybe one of those digital cameras that can take short MPEG movies.. then have video of the day or maybe a live 'HOW TO CAI' uplink... or maybe the cold and flu drugs are just getting to me and i'm just talking nonsense...

Foxy...

[SehnKhan]

Yes, Melbourne CAI day went ahead. Adam will post up a dull report (assuming he took it).

[pr1mo]

yeps,
i showed up for a little bit caught up with everyone, adam took my car for a spin. thought it was ok... mildly pleased :) dropped some stuff off to dan. dropped an assignment into my mates (jase with the white SP) for uni....didnt crash. noone rashed into me (pretty lucky concidering how wet and sh|t it was.....not too shabby

cheers mike

[mrpayner]

Yes, Melbourne CAI day went ahead. Adam will post up a dull report (assuming he took it).

What do you mean a "dull report" bitch!?!?! We were telling you what to write so I'll only be paraphrasing your words! HAH!! Dull report indeed!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Adam

[SehnKhan]

Dude, check your keyboard. "D" is next to "F". Dull report is meant to read Full report. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


:lol:

Dude, you are a goose.

[SehnKhan]

Just thought I'd post up some information. With my car, I only noticed small changes after installing the tubing to the air filter. Didn't think it was that big a deal. But, during the course of driving last night I needed to use my air conditioner just to speed up the demisting process. To my very pleasent surprise, the car barely lost any power at all with the air con unning, even when firing into the cabin not up the window. So for this reason and this reason alone, I am very happy with the results obtained from the Melbourne CAI day.

[JynX]

No its definetely meant to be Dull Report... im assuning this means nothing much happened... u know... he make the funny.. HA ha..... ha.

Cant tell you if my CAI did anything cos due to a small leak between my cat and engine pipe im currently the victim of minor power losses... OK so the whole thing sheared off... IT WAS THE EXHAUST MAN I SAY...

Sigh. Be all betterer on Thursday..... Oh and if anyway gets a new exhaust fitted, make sure they put a flex join between the engine pipe and cat or you fate is certainly determined. Damn strong steel....

PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING: Several beers went into the making of this message.

Peace Out.

[Rupewrecht]

Well, the 2nd melb CAI day went ok!

[Cosmo Dude]

Did I pass you?
Did you follow?
Did you see the whites' of my eyes (head on)?
I think the oldie was doing 60 in a 100 zone. My mate Dave pulled the same move in a mark II Cortina when it was one lane, he did this in the drainage ditch (pre '93).
I need to introduce you to the Cosmo. It can pass in three indicator blinks, one behind, one beside and one infront :D :D :D
I took it to the SelectMaz Dyno and couldn't find max power. 214hp at 7000rpm at the rear wheels 12lbs boost.
I need to schedule another dyno day :lol: :lol: :lol:

*Heathcote better than Calder, you get more practice runs*

Who's comming to see :?: 8) :P

More fun with more competitors :lol: :evil: :evil: :evil: :lol:

[Rupewrecht]

Trav and MrPayner should come - battle of the 4x4s :twisted: :P

Could make a cruise of it - and take a bbq with us etc

[SehnKhan]

One of those 4x4's may be experiencing some height restrictions soon ;)

[Trav]

what - r u going to take the wheels off??? :lol: :P

[SehnKhan]

hey, I'm no 4x4! :twisted: You can fist between your wheels, I can merely finger :lol:

[mrpayner]

HAHA!! :lol: :lol: Good one Trav! Even better one though Bro!

I'm making "enquiries" at the moment. How's this for rich, the dude at Bob Jane here in the Rat wanted to charge me $740 for K-Mac springs , but only $350 for King Springs.

Then! He was telling me that K-Mac are harder sprung than Kings [I had heard the opposite]. Plus! He also wanted to charge me $2040 for ROH Fury [Shadow Chrome] and EagleF1 tyres....... Wholly crap! I polietly declined the offer and hung up....

I can get the K-Macs for $330 direct from them, and unless anyone here has a spring compressor it's gonna cost me $150 to put them in. I take it that you [i]do actually need a compressor to put them in.....I cast my mind back to those Jumbo springs that I bought last year and the guy just placing them in there...... :o . Nasty.

Adam

[Rupewrecht]

LMAO owned! :lol:

[mrpayner]

LMAO owned! :lol:

Please don't say you just got rid of a spring compressor?

[Rupewrecht]

oops, no - my comment was in reference to the 'fist/finger' comment :D

[mrpayner]

D'OH! :roll:

[Cosmo Dude]

Wholly crap! I polietly declined the offer and hung up....

I spent my first 17 years 'in the rat'. I learnt it is cheaper to ring around Melbourne, catch the train down to buy and finger the retailer who tried to rip me off because of thier small town syndrome.
No, I'm not bitter and twisted realy :D :evil: :D :evil:

I have some spring compessors and while I'm there I can do the family visit thing :wink:

[Trav]

hey, I'm no 4x4! :twisted: You can fist between your wheels, I can merely finger :lol:

LMAO!!! :lol: :lol: ...smartarse...

[mrpayner]

Yes, i know i'm digging up an old thread....BUT!!!

What's happened to the article I wrote and the pics that Daniel and other ppl took.....Daniel?!?!?! There was supposed to be a "how to" section under the Tech Corner section on the main website, wasn't there??

:roll: :wink:

Adam

[SehnKhan]

You mean to say you actually finished that damn report??
