thanks for the tips guys! im gonna fiddle with the gruppe m when i have free time.
and about your reverse gear UNA91, ALL cars crunch when you go into reverse whilst moving. technically you're supposed to come to a dead stop before putting it into that gear!
what tyre size are u running at the moment im on similar height to urs on the rear with 17x8 +45 not scrub but I reckon roll ur rear to be safe.Quote:

I'm at same height Ish with 17x9 +38 front and 17x8 +32 rears. No guard work at front. -1.5 at front right and +0.50 front left LOL
About -2 in the rears
Haha yeah, i've went thru the wheel setup thread, read that you had some whack alignment going on in the front for some reason lolQuote:

Nobody seemed to notice it with stock wheel specs. No idea what caused it may have happened before it was imported.Quote:

Whats the point of those lips on the fender anyway...
P.s. I got quoted $39 to freight the set of wheels from Sydney to Brisbane, depot-depot with e-go. Does that sound right? total weight is roughly 88kg, dimensions are 22cm wide, 47cm diameter roughly. I thought i input something wrong so when i changed the dimensions and weight the price only varies by $2 or $3 more. I've used this company to freight wheels from Melbourne to Brisbane without problems before, and it costed me around $85
hey random question... have you ever been pulled over and been troubled by the cops co of your ride height?Quote:

When I had stock suspension a few cops from green valley Police would hassle me. He's advice to fix the 'low ride height' was to get one inch high springs and modify my car so it met Australian Standards.... I laughed so much he got angry called me a disrespectful arse and walked away.
on stock suspension?Quote:

Alot of new cars I see these days sit fairly low in stock form. The car might not be low, but alot of the underbody components are almost as low as my exhaust...
I think the mugen lip makes the front end look low that's it.
^highly uncalled for >.>
Do we have launch control on the JDM model?
nope, theres a rev limiter around 5k rpm to protect the engine; people think its launch control lol
just got my injen cai installed, the engine bay looks so empty now but loving the sound it's making now. If anyone is interested in getting one, ebay is the place to get it, much cheaper and delivered within a week.
Buy my HaltehQuote:

i dont even know how they did it cos unless they were from africa they wouldnt even fit under the car to do it.
****n bored ****s these days
What part number for the ones you guys using?Quote:

Any of the above can be used ^^^

How do you find the BKR6EIX-11?Quote:

Just do a search on eBay with the part numbers or bring the part number with you to any SCA/Repco/Autobarn.Quote:

and wow i've never dealt with such rude customer service from xtreme motorsports
fitment freaks:
with 17x9 +38 up front on 215/45r17
if i was to add -2 camber using ingalls camber bolts, will i have inner clearance issues with the coilover?
RPS.13 has a set of WedsSport wheels that he is currently refurbishing for his car! I'm a big fan of some of their recent designs.. particularly the TC105. So sexy...Quote:

^his car looks silver in that picture haha but dayum it looks good, those are the exact wheels i'm getting the weds sport SA70 next week :D just wish the offset was a little lower tho.. do you think if i got camber kits to fix the natural camber in the rear it would help make it sit a little closer to the fender? I'm not looking for hellaflush either lol
btw to those who rolled their guards, does your fender where it meets the plastic bumper look abit weird? cause mine does, like it looks pumped then suddenly flat again.
That indeed looks very sexy. :)Quote:

What happened at xtreme motor sport UNA91?
thats not him... lolQuote:

It probably is silver. It's an Si from USA.Quote:

You shooould be ok with that offset though as over the weekend, I ran what was effectively a 17x9 +33 with 245/40/17 on the fronts with no issues except on full lock. -_-
I'm getting the weds sports off them and just wanted some info on the wheels since they had no info and two pics on their ad, and the person i spoke to sounded like he had some attitude as if they cbf even checking the specs or sending additional photos.Quote:

Who did u speak to, try again and ask for Michael Koval and ask for info.Quote:

I need an alignment soon anyway, just wondering if I should install a camber kit for the rears first. What do you guys think of the hardrace ones?
Do local tyre shops like Goodyear stock hubcentric rings? I think the EP3 centerbore is 56.1mm?
Just installed my Haltech and again!!!
Man did I forget how my more power it has....
Wicked
Some do, some don't...Quote:

From what i've read that is for the FL models, the Pre FLs are 56.1, can someone confirm?Quote:

Does anyone know which OBD protocol these things employ or had any experience with the device in question?
Lol I actaully got one this week cause I was curious, and well it wasn't too expensive anyway. My verdict, it does work; but not very well. The best app out there for these scantool things is called "Torque". With the cheap ebay one I got, I can only get it to read my speed, coolant temp, throttle position, RPM and volts, and a few other not so important functions like trip km etc... All the other functions like oil temp, EGT and other goodies won't work. Haven't really used the scan code function since i've got no codes to scan anyway tho.Quote:

Hehe I'm loving my haltech even more after getting new rubbers. That pull !Quote:

It won't matter what spec it is when U get defected. Them pro spec exhausts gave me ear damage.Quote:

I can live with loudness, but does it start to get raspy at a certain rpm? Just watching youtube sound clips doesn't do justice lol
Have u got a aftermarket exhaust on atm?
Cool, thanks for letting me know. See, I might be old school, but a single unit that reads water temp, battery voltage, speed and RPM is something that saves me buying 2-3 seperate gauges and associated attachments and then drilling all manner of holes in my dash to fit them . . . I reckon thats pretty good!Quote:

I found there was about one second of delay. Reading this from the rpm gauge that it had. It also operates off Bluetooth and not WiFi.
Currently an Apexi N1, its just the mid pipe thats in bad condition, might opt to just get a custom mid pipe made.Quote:

get a custom mid pipe u never know it will probably improve flow.Quote:

The clutch bleed screw is under the intake manifold kinda, on the front of the gearbox on the slave cylinder. I doubt you'll see a difference in stopping distances, at least on the first stop, it may make a difference at track brake temperatures.Quote:
Originally Posted by UNA91

which brand fluid is recommended? i'm a noob with all these dot 3 and 4 stuff lol isn't dot 4 just a higher boiling point?
Motul RBF600 if you're tracking, otherwise OEM dot4 will suffice.
That's what I thought till I started looking into them. From my many many internet readings, unless the maker of the device has paid Apple for their bluetooth protocols the its wifi only on the iPhone I'm afraid. You will notice there are heaps more bluetooth devices available and as a rule they are cheaper . . .Quote:

Does anyone have a blueprint/picture of the Kakimoto Fullmega N1+ Rev that I can show my exhaust guy what it looks like?
Anyone in Sydney know a reliable place that installs camber bolts other than heasmans?
Wholesale Suspension?
Road and Race?
