It's real serious heat wise. The concrete is so hot my dog cries when he steps on it. You know what's funny? It rained a little today and a few part of the area near me are having severe storms. Melbourne = 4 seasons in 1 day
Holy shit!! Thats insane!!! I remember running on the blacktop as a kid after getting out of my pool in the summer, you would see the water turn into steam - then my feet would burn. BURN! Lol

Australia day long weekend updates. Only just started a few things, hopefully I'll get it done by tomorrow evening.
Started shaving my RBC intake manifold.
Cleaned up some suspension parts to get it ready for new bushings.
Used a heavy duty foaming degreaser to break loose the heavy grease and dirt, worked wonders!
Now the elbow grease, a bit of dish washing detergent and straight to scrubbing it clean.
Borrowed a press off Mr spoon fanboy Billy. Got straight to testing it out but it soon got dark and had to call it a day.
New versus Old.
Nice! Did you see [MENTION=28]Spaz[/MENTION]'s job on my intake manifold?

Yes, I saw the shaved intake manifold. Looked so good =]
Haven't updated this thread in awhile. Had a bit of free time this week to get a few things done and dusted off the things to do list.
I put on my Edelbrock 3 point tower brace to test fit and to see whether if I wanted to keep it the original black or go for something else. My friend Thanh mixed up a nice metallic black for me to use on my Advan rg's so I might consider doing my wheels, engine mount brackets and tower brace in the same metallic black.
Don't mind the amount of filth in the engine bay. I was waiting a few months for the paint to cure so that I could get started on sanding it back and polishing it up.....
Sent off a few things to get sandblasted.
Also got the subframe powdercoated gloss black, intercooler pipings a custom grey metallic and the intercooler end tanks gloss black.
Picked up a 100cell high flow cat off Steven.
My Topone splitter brackets I bought along with my rear diffuser and side skirt extensions.
And last but not least.. what my car looks like as of today.
I plan on purchasing my brake line tuck kit and my brake booster delete next week through Chasebay with a few guys.

After a hard decision on what engine enamel I should use I decided on the Dupli-Color.
Picked up a can of high heat grey primer and 2 cans of aluminum silver enamel. I had so many colour choices to choose from but decided on aluminum silver purely on the fact that it would always look nice in a white engine bay regardless.
I always wanted new trims for the exterior of the car and was pretty close to purchasing some new OEm ones. A friend of mine has used trim paint/dye and it turned out top notch. He has painted/dyed them over 2 years ago and has lasted nicely. The option was too easy on whether to buy new tirms or give this a go. I think everyone would agree on going the cost effective solution first as the trim dye was only $25.
