Combine both those Autech bars.

The S2 is flat at the bottom, the S1 (1st pic) isn't.

I dont like how the S1 flares on the sides as it heads back to the wheel arches though.

Keep it even along the sides, have that cut out in the middle rear, THAT, on a series 2 Autech.

If its even, it'll make the whole car look better when slammed. A bumper that is uneven in edge (ie S1 Autech, Uras, Dianna, etc) looks shitty. More "boxed" shape like S2 Autech. Does that even make sense?

As Toffy said, widder to accomodate Aus plates.

Yeah it makes sense, I like the sound of it. It's simple, but combined with the larger rear plate opening will be enough to no be considered a copy.

No plastic, no care. Fuck fibreglass.

I'll just wait for a gen Autech to show up at a wrecker in japan. Or plastic weld the stock bumpers... doin my golf's ones atm... it's not that hard:

shan can weld plastic hey ? :whistling:

Easter break is gonna be balls out work on golf and ceffy. have you seen the cef lately? full sun fade on the roof. I need a fkn carport.

Everybody wants plastic.... anybody willing to put money behind their comments and help pay the $25K up front fee to make the mold?

I sure as shit don't have that kind of cash and if I did it probably wouldn't be spent on making something that potentially only 50 people over the next 3 years would buy.

We'd have more luck conducting an email spam campaign on TRA Kyoto to make a ceffy kit than getting a plastic one made here at a reasonable price.

lawl. I know a mob in China that will copy anything with no regard for copyright, and all their stuff is plastic. They make the kits for Wald.

Costs are:

USD$18,000 to set up a mould

USD$500 per kit (Front/sides/rear)

Minimum order 300 kits.

So if we get 168 buyers at $1000 a full kit we should break even. :ph34r:

That's not so bad if it was a more common car like an S13. $16.8K outlay for everything, sell the kits for $700 each and you make a profit.

Plastic welding isn't that hard , as long as you know the basics about the different types of plastic .

^^^ This.

It's actually easier than fibreglass when you get the hang of it. Hard part is matching up the different plastics.

Symmetrical Series 1 Autech.

Needs a lip IMO.

Series 2 FTW.

And on that note, how about bigger side openings....perhaps big enough to show off a small oil cooler, instead of intercooler piping? ;)

Here's a quick chop - it's far from perfect - of a cross between the Autech S1 and TBO bars. Has a lip, larger & symmetrical air intakes and no indicator holes.

Thoughts? (aside from 'learn to photoshop')

That what's I was talking about when I asked about the indicator holes - not the side ones. I've never had any issues with not running indicators in the front bar even when the front bar fell off on the street a few times & I got pulled over for it, still no defect as the bar was in the car with me and I was 'on my way to the body shop' :)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
