VWL, need opinions on muffler tips:

was originally going to go hidden 3" dumpy tip to keep it quiet and subtle, hidden behind the bumper. similar to stock (but less obvious):

but saw this picture and now almost persuaded to do the same. though not sure if would go well with stock bumper style. +5 bippu points, but not very subtle

That looks like aids...

VIP used to stand for very important person or Valerie Irons Protection...

I feel like most implementing this style these days are far removed from the original meaning

pfft, japan VIP has been crazy for a long time. it basically defined the hellaflush/stance craze in the US. (which is a pretty shit craze, but the similarities are there).

i used to not be a fan, but have come around to VIP to a fair bit.

I would never do it to my car, but scraping and straight pipes are pretty hardcore. in a good way.

ive really started to like how long-wheel base cars look limo length when sitting on the ground. i really wish people would VIP aussie long-wheel based 80's-90's fairlanes and statesmans. that way i dont have to do it.

If i had the cash and effort, i would go bags though.

Totally because Greg.

Probably a better driver may have managed to countersteer and avoid the kerb, but man, panic braking means very little went through my head.

Still better than putting someone else' head through my front bar.

+1 funnies because its a borrowed rim, which means mine is fine...

I think it's repairable. Just looks like a lot of gutter rash. I do mean a *lot*. It isn't buckled, so I mean hey that's good.. I guess..

Guess whos' booking an alignment, though!

Any pro tips re: Wheel fixers? I asked Alvin as he got my wheels I sold to him repaired and fixed and repainted but no reply because reasons.

when did you ask? I went to wheeltech dandenong. LOL probably lost in all the phones i keep breaking.

I love being in South Melb.

around 40 cafes/food places within 3 blocks plus the St Melb market.

plus I can park on the street all day.

moving to St Kilda road is going to hurt sooo bad.

tried mr loys on city road? best hainanese chicken rice you can buy in melb so far.

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
