Hi,

just would like to run these pics past you guys, see what you think of this new bar.

It's a TRUST.

I have included a pic of my car with original bar, taken a few weeks back....prior to taking a hit.

Anyways, some clown reversed into my car, and via insurance (all paid for by the clown), I thought I'd take the opportunity to change things a bit.

(Lucky I was still in the car when it happened!!!)

At first, when I went to pick the car up from the panel shop, I thought to myself...'wot the faaark have I done!!"...but I like it very much now.

It seems to have been fitted very well too.

I hate speed bumps!! especially now!!!

Now, if I could just get some glass headlights!!!

Regards,

Superspit.

man if u want something unique then dont get the second most common bar around....

hehehe...I had no idea it was the second most common!!

Not sure if I actually wanted something 'unique'...just a little more aggressive without too much 'rice'. (I am not knocking 'rice', by the way!!)

But thanx man.

Regards,

Spit.

very nice, but how is the 'line now when youre driving it around town? i could only imagine it scraping it every second speed hump >_<

Hi deriq,

I'm in the process of learning where I can and can't go......I have HKS adjustable coils,...so I'm thinking that I may (or may not) have to raise her a little (bummer!!).

I am taking everything on an angle now, including my driveway!!

So far, just a few little scrapes, not bad though.

I'm getting a few comments on the front indicator lamps, apparently they look a bit 'trailerish'??

I think I might get some low profile ones, but keep them round. (???)

Looking for more thoughts, negs, pos...whatever!!

Thanx,

Spit.

Hey mate good choice of bar I got the same one and I don't care how many other cars have them very agressive style. I got my park lights turned into indicators so I didn't have to bolt anything on the front, not sure of the legalities but never had any problems, cost me $40 just had to fit a relay and that was it.

it looks great just needs some matching side skirts and rear pods or 400r rear bar. Also the 4 door headlights dont match the white, get some 2 door ones.

it would appear so...

PS: you have too much mesh in your bar... get an aftermarket intercooler in there, it looks WAY better :P

hehehe!...out with the POD and in with the FMIC you reckon!!!!!!

sounds good, I'll be doing this as a final mod soon. (I think it was around $1600 for a reasonable set-up and install?)

It's a bit odd that the guys at the panel shop put 'open weave' mesh in the grill and closed mesh on the bar...

Anyways.,may fool some peeps!!!lol!

Thanx DRD!

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
