    Limiter is around 7200-7300rmin. I have bounced off it ...... a few times.

    Once the intake side has been sorted it makes good power all the way to the limiter.

    Bouncing off the rev limiter will not hurt the engine...

    well got suspension fitted today and was going all well, driving home started making scraping noise so checked it out at home. Front left coilover as slipped down probs 1.5-2cm through that clamp which secures it near the wheels causing a bolt to rub on inside of tyre. Also bent the part on suspension which holds the cables for the abs.

    have to take it back to place i got it done tomorrow and see what they do about it. Not to happy though.

    sorry to hear that mate sucks big time, hopefully they do the right thing and sort it out, i would also take it somewhere else before/after and make sure nothing else is damaged

    Stupid guy with the long hair I bet. It looked so good tho Hopefully should be an easy fix, just a tightening of the clamp thingy.

    yeah i would like too take it somewhere else first but bit stretched for time cause of tafe tomorrow, so will see what they will do about it. Should be quick enough fix i hope and can just wait around while they fix it up.

    hopefully doesn't fall apart as i drive it there tomorrow, interesting calling around for quotes too. place next door to the one i got it done at wanted over $250 more for same job, but then again maybe higher price = less issues

    Sound like the forgot to put in the securing bolt that clamps the Hub structure to the Strut...Maybe not a good Idea to drive it. Put it on a truck, and get the suspension place to pay for it.
