I dont mind vinlys if they are tasteful.

I'm not a fan of manufacturers names (unless they pay me) and most tribal vinals are only so-so.

Get something original that suits the shape of the car, a theme or style that you like.

most of them looks shxt

but some exmple like Phuman's R34 looks alright (1-2 yr ago, now looks a bit over the top IMO)

Phumans 34 was awesome and it was covered in vinyls, you need to plan it out carefully to get it perfect to suit the car and colour otherwise it will be shit

What happened to phuman I used to see it all the time then it just vanished :(

RICE RICE RICE!! I hate vinyl, especially shopping list decals on front doors. the exception is a very clean JDM style thing that has actual sponsors on it, like a car that competes in drift or race events. As someone said by sum1 b4; vinyl is for a stock lancer with a bodykit and chrome wheels.

I've seen very few vinyls that I can look at for any more than a few seconds & then be turned off by them. They're for attention seekers only, just like 20-inch chomies you can damage on a pot hole & rearrage your internal organs with, ultra low body kits you can rip off on the first speed hump you can find, massive rear wings that just create drag rather than downforce & any other useless bling you can think off.

To me a car is like a woman in so many ways, you wouldn't want to see a nice looking chick cake her face with rosy red blush & white foundation that makes her look more like a clown, why do it to a nice looking car??

This is how dumb i am. For the first few posts i was thinking about the vinyl records (yeah before tapes and CD's) and it was like where the f*ck are you going to stick them on a car.

Its funny how my old car has gotten more comments with the new owner than with me, oh well, any way....SAY NO TO BLING

I agree some of the points people made about sticker & vinal, but it's your car, so if you want to do it, just do it, why do you have to care what they think? By the way, they said the sticker or graphic can get too much attention, why they put bodykit on their car or why they modify their car? That also get attention from people. I believe most people want to get attention for their car, but just how much you want it, so if you're going to do it, just perpare you'll get more attention from people and police. I think sticker & vinal can make your car stand out, but you've to be very careful what you're putting on there, because you don't want to stick something on your car and then you think it look shit. Anyway, think twice before you do it, that's my suggestion. :laugh:

V I N Y L .... ITS VINYL ALREADY... NOT VINAL for all you bastards who cant spell! End rant.

Back on topic... If it is done tastefully it can give your car that individual look without screaming RICE too much, but it is so easy to get it sooo wrong!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
