I've found most 'JDM' owners go ford after getting over the jap cars

I was going to say PFFFFFT.. then realised I have a ford sitting in my carport >.<

but it's built by mazda, so it's ok :P

I'm not leaving Jap cars yet...

I just want to have 4 dr's for the baby and not have the NUMBER ONE defect magnet on the roads.

the EVO will probably be an 8MR with an exhaust and tune (~230awkw) so if i do get EPA'd it doesn't matter

fwiw, i've only been pulled over once since having the car for a "random check"

and the second time because the car was unregistered due to Vic roads not clearing the minor i got from that "Random check"

both occasions no fine or anything. the copper was polite enough to speak to vic roads on my behalf to yell at them and sort everything out so I could get to my Job interview for Merc. even offered to take me to the interview and back to my car if it couldnt be sorted today or in time.

he even looked under my bonnet and said its really nice and neat.

other than that popo dont really look at my car even if im next to them.

*Touch wood*

i would never have said that lol

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
