oh you mean veilside? I still think my VL commo one looks better!

I have a VL commodore front bar for my GTR - looks sick! painted it with spray cans.

From http://rvcs-prodweb.dot.gov.au/%5Csevs%5Csevsindex.htm : 032/02 MA Mazda RX-7 FD3S 09/1999 - 12/2002 Any FD from Sep 99 on can be imported, however there are only 2 RAWS with plates for now so good luck.

Not from the factory - possibly from the dealer though. Probably aftermarket though.

Can you PM me this blokes details? thanks.

I would tell you if I knew but I have no idea about the R32's. I would take a guess and say H1's though.

In city peak traffic i used to get 280 - 300km per tank from my R33 with the stock ECU.

I've seen this car before but can't put my finger on who owns it.

Not bad, you are running rich. Don't worry about it too much, all the stock ECU's do.

You wont get 7000k in a non HID globe. Maybe high 4000's.

A clay bar removes from the top of the paint without affecting the clear coat at all. A cut and polish uses abrasive material to actually cut into the clear coat itself. You get a shiny finish after a cut polish because you removed the top most layer (10's of microns maybe) of clear coat leaving you with nice shiny new paint which was underneath. This has the side effect of removing very fine scratches that were in the clear coat and softening the look of more severe scratches. Done poorly or too many times it will wreck the paint. Clay bar's are stocked at Autobarn. Mother's aren't the only brand and all the brands are the same so buy any clay bar.

oh and vegas IS good - where are you staying?

Is that the GTR pirate edition.. yarrrrrr?

Thanks for that, looks great on those

Older PowerFCs do this. I believe the settings are stored and saved but a small battery is used to keep state much like a PC uses a battery on the motherboard to keep the BIOS settings. I could be wrong, but this is what seems likely to me. Open up the powerFC the battery is probably replaceable.

Midnight purple pearl III is an amazing colour and very rare. I believe only about 400 cars were made in that colour and there is probably only a couple of real examples in Australia. It stands out but not in the same way some flashy lime green paint would.

I dunno about your choice of wheels but i like what you've accomplished overall. Grats on the feature. Can we get some pics of the interior? Can I ask how much the interiior cost you to get done?

That's not even funny. I don't give a shit how someone drives or parks or offends you it's never ok to f**k with their car over some minor inconvenience.

I would stay far far away from this car. There's a million other cars out there.

Nice work. I would have trouble remembering which order to reassemble everything in

Does it miss once then return to normal immediately or miss for several seconds then go back to normal? (or miss until you turn it off?)

Haha, after a very thorough wash of my car one night I found the back windscreen wiper going by itself. I just unplugged the motor and once it had dried out plugged it back in and all was sweet. Anyway on-topic, the best way to clean the engine bay is with microfibre lint free cloths and lots of patience... A little degreaser used discreetely is useful as well.

If you're refering to Mothers Clay bar then it isn't for filling in scratches or polishing at all. It's for removing particles and buildup from the paint using a lubricated clay bar directly against the paint. Works great for cleaning up paint but will have no effect on scratches sorry.

^^^^ Wow that post really sums it up. Installing an after market blow off valve into a car which already has a perfectly good factory one will lose you about 800 IQ points instantly. Furthermore you will not hear any sound on gear change (in an auto) unless you're lifting off the accelerator at the exact same time the gearbox changes irrespective of what blow off valve you have.

Mate those brakes are so far from stock its not funny. 8? piston fronts and 4 piston rears on big brembo 2 piece rotors.
