Hey guys and girls,

I'm currently in Sydney, running a MT red sportback VRX. Only mods so far is the X-force axle back exhaust (great sound) and Phillips Ultra white bulbs and parkers.

Have a few mods I'd like to do in the near future:
K&N Typhoon intake.
RPW ECU tune.
Lowering springs.
EBC green stuff pads all round, undecided on rotors, slotted/dimpled?
New sticky tires and respray rims.
RA Front bumper black out.
LED bulbs all round, remove "yellow look" of indicators.

Here she is

Cheers James.

Welcome to the club James, nice lookin vrx, what year is it?

Have you got any pics of the exhaust?

The chrome indicator bulbs for the headlights is a good option, I have some pics.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

It's an 08 MY09. I've seen a post about the chrome bulbs somewhere, they look great!

I'm just getting my car back from the paint shop tomorrow, and will post some pics of the exhaust then. I'm not one for huge exhausts tips, so this looks great and sounds even better - not too loud, but still has a good deep tone. Will look much better once my car is lowered.

If you're looking at getting one, I'd recommend it. I picked it up from the wholesaler, and they had a lot more info on it than the website. It's fully stainless mandrel bent, including internals, 2.5inch all the way through.

Oh cool, that's the kind of exhaust I'm wanting. Where did you get it from?

Thanks Dave, I'll see if I can make it tomorrow night! Would be good to get some more ideas. Though I'm sure the bank manager will hate me for it!

I'll get back to you who I got it though Tac, I only got it through this company as they had the lowest mark up. Basic install, any one could do it. My car receipts need a clean up any way!

Cheers guys, haven't seen many red Sportbacks, great to see I love mine!
Tac, I got the exhaust for $490 by tuffy mufflers in camperdown. Their number is 95196853. Pics to follow tomorrow! I see you've got the K&N intake, how do you find it? I'm thinking about ordering one in the next few days.

Welcome to the Club James!

If you are looking for a typhoon and already don't know, the best place if ofcourse ebay. Even with the shipping from America it works out heaps cheaper!

Oh cool cheers man. do they have a website aswell? yea I love it Haha. think it will be a lot better with exhaust and then a ralliart snorkel though. Sounds wicked though. And I actually found mine on amazon believe it or not. Was a lot cheaper.

Just bought my typhoon intake, $350 shipped from the US. Cant wait to get it on!

Here's a pretty basic shot, all I could get after work. Will edit this tomorrow with another one for you. No website that I know of, it's a pretty old school set up they have there, I was surprised they took credit cards! Haha

Unfortunately couldn't make the meet tonight, swamped at work! How often are they?
