No Crust Racing

Looks like the airbox is gone but I'll have it ends up being free =)

Ok new info! My fuel light has just started coming on when going around corners, I filled it up, it took just on 52L so the fuel light must be set to 10L's? (Based on it being a 65L tank, is that right?) With this new info it means my car is actually getting ore like 12-13L /100K's around town. Which seems more like what I expected form this car, which for now is stock other than a POD with Heat Shield. Now that I have full fuel and know when the fuel light comes on, I should be able to run it to the light and will have a much better idea then. Stay tuned! P.S. Can anyone confirm or deny the fuel tank capacity and level at which the light comes on? (it certainly seems like 10L remaining given I got 52L in and the tank is supposed to be 65L) Cheers!

Man, maybe I am getting normal fuel economy then... 400K's to 65L around town is 16.25L/100... that's terrible! LoL and 14-15 seems to be what I'm getting now. Then again... i Originally thought the Fuel Light meant 5L left, not 10. Can you confirm these figures? Where di you read/see that it's 10L remaining?

Given I said that and also gave him the answer.... that's a kind of pointless post, and a bit mean =( For the record Michael I found that adding a wildcard on the end of my search term yielded better results sometimes, I had very bad luck with searching until then. Cheers

Well that's a bit vague... Half a tank as in bone dry or the fuel light just come on? We're talking an RB25DET yes? Do you have any mods? Also looking for ideas on my fuel smell and an answer to how many litres are left when the light comes on =)

At what point does the fuel light come on? That is, how many litres remain when the light comes on? In addition, what is supposed to be the standard fuel consumption for an RB25DET? I seem to getting pretty crap economy. $40 = around 31L of Optimax = ~220K's (or is it $45 = 34L = 220K's, can't remember) of City driving, occasional boost, before the fuel light comes on. I also have a really strong smell of fuel when I start it up, checked the boot, no smell or visible leaks in there. Ideas and answers to questions??? Cheers

If I ever get this wrong bank account bullshit worked out I'll have some 18's Impuls, they look awesome and don't cost a fortune, though if the lucky unknown account holder doesn't give the money back they might cost me heaps =\ Fingers crossed all =D

This topic has been covered before... Speaking from experience as someone who doesn't have tiny Jap hands, I had to loosen and move the coolant bottle, washer bottle and fuse box then get my hand in behind and 1/4 turn and you're done. It's a pain but you don’t have to 'remove' those items, just loosen and relocate out of the way. Cheers

LoL yeah I noticed that this morning and went DOH! Interestingly, I've shown it to about 10 people here and no-one has noticed that... =D So I'll get away with it this time...

Ok, had another go and put a bit more tie into this one. I chose a 7th Gen Civic as a mate at work has one but refuses to do 'anything' to it, so I'm trying to entice him =D Constructive feedback welcome! For reference, the car has had rims, front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and spoiler added. Lowered and windows tinted as well as the Aerial removed.

Sweet, will give this a try at home tonight =D

How do you do that and preserve ground lines?

The handles are body coloured in the original, or do they just happen to be silver on all models? Will have a stab at lowering it soon, time for bed now =D Cheers

Hi Hi, Recently upgraded from PS7 to CS2 and had a stab at the digimods tutorial on changing colour. Here's the before and afters, constructive criticism is welcome. Will be dabbling more with this one and putting wheels on etc. I know it's nothing special, but as I said my first go and only took like 30mins =\ Ok just added wheels, I know the reflection is changed but yeah constructive criticism. The back wheel looks a little flat and blending/colour options are off but hey, that's 1.5hrs of tutorial experience =D

That's a good point, they are very cheap and usually any place that's far cheaper than the rest is quite busy. They may also have less staff than comparable organisations to keep costs down =) Pump them with email or better yet call them, they've gotta answer the phone =D

I'm acquiring it as we speak ^-^ I've had a bit of a play using some of the digimods info, looks good so far. Got plenty of questions but will wait til I get CS2 first =)

I have PS 7 and don't have Adjustments -> Variations... What gives?

Around town my RB25DET will average 12-14L/100k's easily, not sure what it's claimed usage is. That to me seems about right for a car of it's weight and with a regular PSSHT =) Woops, getting off topic =) Yeah Turbo Territory... Yet another over powered family car =\ I'm gonna need to mod my car up just to keep speed with traffic =\

I think we all agree that claimed fuel usage is just that... claimed.. Actual will more often than not be much worse! However, as far as its direct competition goes, it should be a good package =) Note: I'm NOT a Ford fan at all =D

Yeah I read that, it gives a fairly flat looking colour. Selective colour seems give a nice, rich, pearl type finish.

Just curious, I had a quick fiddle with PS but could not get a nice rich blue when using selective colour (ended up with that washed out blue on the first page). What techniques are people using to do colour changes? Cheers

I haven't purchased from them but have sent a few emails asking questions. I usually just hit them again 2 days later and then they get back to you.

LoL Got fuel bill?!

Actually... I just found out that money I paid for wheels has gone to the wrong account so my buying things is on hold at the moment =( Hopefully it all gets sorted out fast and I'll have my 18's soon =\ and not lose my money ='(

Pics? Mandrel bent? Cheers
