I cant believe everyone here is so against stickers! yeah i agree maybe the fast and furious thing has been overdone a bit now as Judged said but really is it so bad to have a car that looks nice! it may look rice or wateva but i think if you like it then do it! I just dont understand wats so bad about stickers unless your falsely advertising products you dont have!:P

Do I really have to answer this? :P Most ppl already know my opinion on this and theres not much point starting another big bun fight.

For the record: If we lose a thousand to gain fifty like us, then its worth it. (All IMHO. I have no real say in the matter, its just my opinion).

Hmmm

I'm a little confused.

Stickers = rice

according to some people here.

Does that make the touring cars and rally cars rice ?

I think not.

Stickers on something that has the balls to back it up is OK , imho.

Stickers for stickers sake ie. Garrett on a N/A lancer or something similar = rice.

I don't mind the odd tastefully done sticker but having the whole car emblazoned , especially for a daily driver is probably a little over the top.

But hell as someone said , whatever floats your boat.

I'm sure when some bright person came up with candyapple paint in the 50's , they thought he was a tosser as well....

Cheers

GUYS,

Sounds like it has gotten out of hand. The main reason for me was there are a lot of liners out there now and i wanted to stand out in the crowd. I wanted to be different so I placed some decals on the car, the theme was F&F. The car was also a show car and the look made people come and view my car a lot closer than they normally would. Reading what people have to say here has reminded me why I did the decals. I love people looking at my car, turning their heads around for another look as I went by, people would come up and say g'day and say it looked great, than made me happy and put a smile on their faces. If it puts a different smile on other peoples face, I have achieved my outcome of making them smile.

judged,

Good to see a gtst in 12's. I wasn't aware what 60ft did ya get?

I think the sticker thing is always about 'free advertising'. Race cars get money for it.

Even in the V8 world we have our own version of 'rice'.

4cylinder escorts with twin 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipes

as above with non functional hornet scoops.

NOS stickers (hello police)

and the list goes on.

As I said before I don't get anoyed I just laugh, me and my mates used to sticker up peices of puss we owned as a joke.

I jusyt have to tell yo guys something!

Last weekend whilst going down to Fremantle... a full pack of P plate Trevs... and I am talking the trev of trevs.....these guys were so trev that there babies come pre-born with mullets! where in a VB commodore.....

As they pull up next to me all i here is... "RICE" now i certainly don't consider my car to be rice... the only sticker i have is a VERY small RB sticker about 8cm's long... thats it nothing else... and i have eaten a few V8's which should lessen the rice factor aswell..... anyway there they were in all their Trevness screaming "RICE" i just ignored them in there VB $200 commo and as i drove off what do i see on it... those Blue Neon washer lights that go on where your water sprayers are to wash the windscreen! hahahah!! i couldn't beleive it! there they where saying "RICE" then they have blue neon light washers... the most riceyness thing on the marlow market!!..

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!

Hmm maybe they were talking about their car and not mine!:uh-huh:

Yeh my corrolla could do under 10 seconds if i put stickers all over it. Got some dumbass actors to put in it, film it in a creative light and then say "it does under 10 secs bro, it fully sic"

I havent seen fast and the furious yet but i feel safe in saying that it has no technical grounding at all.

Look at the parts used in the movie and you will see :spank: Crazy sized NOS bottles though, i mean, of course they arent 10 second cars, maybe 12 though, but they still go hard... i dont promote RICE, dont get me wrong here :D

Ill break it down for uz

Stickers are rice, paint is rice and non structural metal is rice (including doors)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
