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).

I personally like the stickers.. if the car warrants it. I see various cars with a shopping list down the side without the mods its anoying..

I have 3. Street Force(did my tuning), Genie(did my exhaust), Enjo(i work for them).

no more no less.. if i could be assed and get JUN to do my custom cam i'd have a JUN sticker too :P

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....

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.

Thanks mate, I hope I can keep up with you now,(SEE YOU IN THE 12sec ZONE) :P

SHUTO-BOY

Thanks dude, but time for a change before PAS (stay tuned)

ZANDA,CAMPINPERTH

Thanks for your support

EVERYONE ELSE,

I respect your right for you have your own opinion, freedom of speech rox.

:jump:

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:

Trevs refer to any japaneses cars as rice.

i admit it i drive a commonwhore :P

its sad but true....its my first car so i don't give a **** i like what i have for the time being and it gets me where i need to go.

just can't wait for the day i drive away in my R32 GTR.....

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.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
