fair enough having the neon wasnt a good idea, but i thought this was meant to be a commuity where people could talk about stuff without getting shot. i mean if you have issues with people having neons i tink you should keep it to yourself in future. advice and information would be more helpful for people that are learning this kind of thing first hand and first time round.

I was thinking about getting some neons but not anymore...Looks like the police and RTA have woken up to the extreme gains that neons can give...I didn't think it would take long.. :blink:

I was gonna get green ones for the 48% extra rear wheel horsepower, light grey ones for the handling (halve your lap time on any circuit) and some bright blue ones so I can run my car on E10 without it pinging (do my bit for the energy crisis)...Was also gonna get some super extreme white ones and hook them up to my flux capacitor and fire it up every time I went past a speed camera so all they see is white flash...(donate my savings in fines to neon research)

I also heard that the neonium fluid that the neons give out reduce the air density in the front of the car and this can take 3 seconds off your 1/4 mile ET...can anyone else confirm this?? I reckon more like 2.8 seconds...

oops sorry dude, I am actually pro-neon...

I believe you should take it to court....You should claim that it was a christmas decoration instead.. :blink:

Tell the magistrate you are sick of people not respecting christmas and you were just trying to instill some christmas cheer into todays modern depressed society...

open and shut case i reckon....

Neons are okay under these conditions:

1) When they spell out the word "Open" in a fish & chip shop window.

2) When they are part of a bad movie about Japanese cars.

I'm sure #1 is ok. Only about 12% sure on #2.

Okay okay, you got me.

Have a look at the VicRoads website linked below - it has all the info you need about the legality of neons (and most other things including BOVs)

I'm sorry that you got a bad reaction from some of the people on the forum, but I know one of the main annoyances on this forum is people whinging about the cops when they have blatently broken the law.

Its very easy to check if neons are legal, and you should have done it before spending the money and putting them on your car...

As for the neons, serves you right for having them in the first place :blink:

I expected a lot more replies suggestion that people who have neons are attracted to the same sex (all hot girls should have half neons :D )

    • I can't help with the clearance question, I've always taken my machine shop's advice on that. It is worth considering that a shop that does that every day for road cars will be looking for as good as they can get off the shelf, not perfect. If you want more careful race style "blueprinting" then you need a race shop to measure/machine the engine. I do have an opinion on line boring the block though....don't do it unless you have to. The crank centre moves higher but the oil pump stays in the same place when you line bore the block.
    • Hey that reminds me, are you changing your forum name to "The Hairdresser" too?
    • There's no figuring out with a Haltech, you literally load up the base map, plug in the vac/boost reference from your manifold to the ECU (or an external MAP) sensor, wire up an IAT and it will run pretty well out of the box. The ignition tables are quite well defined and safe enough for someone to give it a hit (although I don't recommend it if you've got anything besides the stock gear on the motor).
    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
