do you think 5% tint would cause me any problems (other than from the police of course)?

what i mean is seeing out, and ive been told that when its horribly dark with no lights at all that i wont be able to use the side mirrors id have to wind down my window but i dont care, anything other than that people?

thanks.

thanks saff....

so how do police defect you for tinted windows? surely wouldn't have a light metre or anything.. or is it just one of those "judgement" things? Does that mean that you can have tinting that is like a mirror to people looking inside the car? I just hate being stared at, and like the feeling of being able to see people that can't see me...

5% tint is like the ambulance tint. I got 20% all round on my car and its pretty dark. The guy there said he done 5% tint for his mate and a week later he reveresd into a $200,000 mercedes.

The problem you are up against with a lower tint is the legality and finding someone to do it.

Not sure how dark 5% would be but I know my 20% rear screen does little else for my eyes than make objects appear sharper (although that could be because it has been washed!)

With my 35% on the sides, the only time you can see in, is when there is light straight through at eye height on the other side and even then it is a silohette (sp?)

Perhaps pop down the local Ambulance station and ask for a look from the inside although they may not know the definate tint?

Here's my before and after shots from the tint. :aroused:

Might I say it was a damn good job they did.

For those of you on the list that haven't booked in yet please do so shortly.

You know who you are! You're the people driving around with excessive sun glare and hi in cabin temperatures.. ;)

i will be taking my car back shortly to get the drivers door window done again...there are a couple of marks unfortunately.

i havent exmained the rest of the car yet, i hope there wont be need to replace the others...not too happy about going there twice!

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
