Yeah not so much on stuff like that, but you probably got that impression from my post.:whistling:

I'm more referring to hamfisted mods with no real forethought, normally structural or braking related.

I signed it: don' be hatin'!:nyaanyaa:

Same here I have no sympathy for the knobs that are outside the law or have hot air induction pod filters, gay altezza style commo lights n crap like that. BUt this law is to broad and could get ppl in the poo just for having on a spare tire or a broken windscreen while on the way to get it repaired.

Sure the cops will say that they wont in this case but then one or two will be anal turds and give you one and all of a sudden every cop is giving one just cos they can.

the laws suck pretty hard, have heard plenty of stories about people in stock cars getting defected. Like evo's with factory recaro's getting defected for "aftermarket seats" or people getting done for exhaust volume on a brand new stock car. Like said, if they have nothing official to fine you for but want to give you a fine then they can just pull the suspicion of mods thing and you have to pay to have the sticker removed. These things really are getting out of hand when you can be defected for stock or approved mods. It would at least be a bit more fair if you only had to pay if it turned out you had a defectable item, if it passes the pits then you shouldnt have to pay. It would stop issues like this and stop it from being abused so much.

Talking to my workmate last night who's bro is a higway cop. Apparently they way they meet their kpi's isn't by how many people they pull over but how much in fines they rack up!

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
