been trying to get in contact with Top stage to mould me a Carbon Fibre Airbox to cover my POD cuz i got defected a few nights ago for it.

but it seems that Topstage is outta business or something cuz ive been calling everyday for the past week and half. so is there anyone else down here in melbourne who does carbon fibre air boxes?

If you have a front mount on a car that didn't come with one factory (your 34 GT-T for example) then the pod is illegal regardless. Cover it with carbon fibre all you want, its still not legal

yep!

The stock airbox is perfectly fine for performance anyhow, no reason to change it.

But ye, ringing for a week and a half is a bit excessive dude.

i dont really have a choice to take the stock airbox off, i need a pod to clear the cooler pipes.

and i will cover it all i want because what the cops cant see cant defect you on.

lol excessive? you tell me what i should do if i cant even drive to work because my 7 days to clear the defect expired yesterday.

some of us work nismoid :)

Well on the 9th day, god wasnt answering you... i think its safe to say that god isnt there wouldnt you think?

You have a choice, dont get a cooler. Either way, you cant cover the POD, it will still be ILLEGAL.

ok, so you get your "custom omg carbon fibre" cops dont see that u have a pod, but u get defected anyways for other shit, and then they find out that u have a pod.

what do u do?

and how doesnt the airbox clear the cooler piping?

and just becoz u have custom cooler pipes, that doesnt mean they will look past you having a pod. its either one or the other.

can u modify a stock airbox to fit?

nismoid im sure ur aware of the law, i was in my mates car who has a BOV, cops pull him over and asked where the BOV was, we all said "wat bov?" so we have a car here which is perfectly legal (Turboed Pulsar lol) which has a BOV which cant be found. u rkn the cops are gonna defect him?

nismoid u have a problem of talkin about crap that isnt needed. if u aint answering the question, no offence get lost. im asking for a air box maker, not ur opinions.

again......no offence "admin" lol

Yep, offending someone trying to help you understand is going to get you more help.

What everyone here is saying is:

1. 2 intake modifications = ILLEGAL

2. a carbon cover on the pod is still a intake modification therefore ILLEGAL and defectable

3. fitting a stock airbox and modifying it to fit is the most LEGAL and appropriate route to sort out your defect.

If you don't want advice, why do you post here???

how does go f**k yourself sound?

you posted a question, and i answered it to the best of my ability.

ive noticed that you always ask questions, and when you get answers, you so defensive and get on your high horse.

if you dont want answers off here then f**k off. no point in being a smartass, coz in the end, no one will give you any help.

i wasnt having a go at you, just trying to help.

just thought it was wierd that u couldnt fit an airbox over the piping

well, he asked for help, and we gave him some answers.

then he becomes a smartass because i dont own an r34 gtt, therefore i know nothing about his car.

if he doesnt want help, he should post.

i could have ignored the topic, but i didnt, i chose to give him some help.

ill admit, i dont own an r34, and yes, i dont know much about them, but i do know, that the airbox can be modified in some sort of way.

and i know its illegal to have a pod and a FMIC

/end rant

I'm getting the feeling some people might have a hostility against anDru just because he is young and has a R34?

No Jannisary/or whatever ur username is.

People are helping, and they are just getting it thrown back in thier faces.

Why would you get one defecting item, to "attempt" to clear another when infact its still illegal.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
