Hey, does anyone know where i can get REAL underbody neons. Not LED shit ones, and not interior neons that they say can also be used on the exterior. Since exterior ones are wayy stronger since otherwise they'd crack to easily every time a small rock flicked up and hit them.

Also does anyone know where i can get them properly installed and how much all this would cost?

You can get them at all the usual crappy autoparts places eg. autobarn...

Do some research first to see what the decent brands are...

Do the install yourself, it can't be that hard, or install them and get a sparky to do the wiring, make sure you have a in cabin switch so you can turn them on & off.

And then post pictures of the finished look...

I can't believe it, this threads been up for almost 4hours and no flaming as yet... thats a record surely...

Hahah yeah i'm expecting people to be flaming me but oh well, i think neons look cool.

I've looked at supercheap auto and they only have LED underbody neons. I'll have a look for an autobarn, i don't know of any near me but there has to be one somewhere lol. Also i plan on putting a switch inside my car, i want it near the switch i have for my interior neons. I don't know how i'd attatch them to the bottom of my car though thats why i thought i might need someone else to install them.

Still not 100% sure i want them, since they are illegal to drive with when on, and i can't leave my car parked with them on either if i didn't have my key in the ignition.

Ofcourse i plan on doing that hahah. I'm gonna drive with them on when i'm not driving down main roads. I always see hot chicks walking around my estate on friday and saturday nights. So i'd just flick on the neons and see how many chicks i can pick up hahah. It's not like you can see them when their turned off so if someone thought neons were gay, they wouldn't see them during the day anyway.

HAHA that's a mad idea. So for the time being you should just get a maglite and shine it in their faces to get a clearer view :P

^LOL!

Anyways, the ones ive seen around are shitty LED ones aswell...

You wanna hit up the real deal, try Autojoy, they should be able to source some out for you..

Or you could get a lil over the top and go hit up streetglow, even they have the LED ones. :P

To tell you the truth, the shitty cheap LED ones are the typical crappy light distribution type, Streetglow also have LED kits but theyre designed to have a straight line of light with no breaks in it.

Hope it helps !

Thanks. The main reason i hate the LED's is because they have the breaks in the light but if there are some that don't do that then it's cool. But if one LED in there broke it'd be gay.

Just looked up the Autojoy website, looks pretty sweet. Their shop is kind've far from me =\ i live in QLD lol. But i'll look more at their website, i just had a quick look. If they have lots of stuff that interest me i might go down to NSW just for something to do hahah.

LED's are the brighter ones.. you will get more glow out of them... and they are more reliable cos if one led burst ur neons still work but if u had the tube one if it goes out its out.

Yeah if one LED goes out then i have a big break in the light which would look gay.

Anyway i checked out autojoy more and it'd be nice if they said how much everything cost :@:@.

hit up street glow, even though they are in america they will quote you in AUD$ including shipping if you ask them to, i got a quote a little while back for my cousin for some interior neons, considering where they were coming from the price wasnt too bad, but i cant remember what it was.

At any rate its worth an email.

its easy.. go to autobarn.. i had the ones that go with the sound.. engine revs.. fading.. always on.. costs $300.. you can screw it to the body.. or side skirts.. mine stayed on even when the ignition is off... just run it to a switch

i had them in my vt.. so flame away lol.. but it was built as a show car and let me tell you.. it won't pick up chicks.. maybe 7-10yrs ago it would have but in todays age.. your prob gonna get laughed at...

they arent hard to hook up.. run the wires into the transformer.. and then to a switch.. the switch needs power (run off a fuse.. and then ground the earth wire.. done..

oh and they are the neon bars not the led ones.. where bouts in brisbane are you?

I put neons on for a show (kind of ironic cause you can't see them under the bright lights anyway) and they were of the LED variety. The even spread is all in the inistallation, but it's hard to go past the perfection that actual neon tubes put out... I don't care what anyone says, I like it :(

img0564su2.th.jpg

The only time they have been on on the streets is when a mate of mine accidently flicked the switch... I looked over at a ute beside me that I thought had blue neons on and I'm like cool, he has them too!

nope.. twas my reflection... so I normally leave them unhooked now :(

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By Predator1 · Posted

      bump. Anyone had this done? either 49 or 50mm? Been pondering what to do while mines in storage. Been thinking of DBW but if I do that, then might as well do this too. Want to retain 6 throttles. I have a fully build head(CNC, OS valves, 286/278 cams, etc etc still running squish), and a Greddy old school intake with port matching. Head bench flowed 300cfm. Wondering whether bigger throttles will give me any gains. Makes 563kw.

      It's the same with many brands that find their way into promotion via Youtube channel sponsorships. Those stainless guys, e-mail cut shippit, various other service and product companies.... they try to make it so that the only name that comes to mind when you think of doing those things is them, and then you just go get their stuff because your favourite channels are using it, so it must be good AND good value. Notwithstanding that the YT'ers don't pay anything for it. But a lot of people are not that sophisticated.

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.
