I think u need to get over it mafia, just because u dont like the sound doesnt mean it is bad. Or is it just because u failed to get one to run properly on your car when others have no issues?

The sound gets annoying as hell after a while, but its not because I don't like the sound, I actually like some types of sounds, not these fairy ones people try to make.. Also, I tune cars - I can get a ATMO BOV to work, but whats the point? The system that these people are bolting them to aren't designed to have a massive deliberate air leak added to them. They are designed to be sealed. I've also seen a lot of BOVs sucking at idle... Hmmm, like some unfiltered air do they?

Your certainly not some mad engineer just because ur running a stock bov or understand its better to run a recirculating bov on a car with a MAF

Thats exactly right - You don't have to be a mad engineer to understand that if you complain about a ATMO BOV causing stability problems with idle, stalling at lights, etc, you're an idiot. You're also an idiot if you think that it is supposed to work. 95% of the people that do it don't even know how the air measurement system works on these models..

There is plenty of tough cars with atmo bov's its just the the shit cars with crappy sounding bov's far outnumber them

Yeah, but as you probably have no idea, most of these "tough" cars are running a MAP system due to maxing out all available MAF systems.. There is a BIG difference between a MAP and MAF system..

Besides your choice of rims is more of a crime than any atmo bov

Well, I'm not really worried, I like them, 90% of the people that have seen them like them, and you know what else? My car doesn't stall at lights, idle like a pig, or backfire on gear changes. Oh, and it doesn't sound like a donkey having a pen shoved up its ass when you change gears either.

All it does, is fry the tyres, whistle it's ass off when its ramming 20psi of boost into the engine, while delivering 314rwkw and 720nm or torque to the bitumen.

I can honestly tell you that 90% of the people that fit them to standard cars are looking for attention. And last time I checked, these people didn't have women getting wet, and trying to dive into the windows going "Fully sic uleh!" asking the guy to make love to them for 16 hours straight.

The only attention I saw was cops, pulling some fool over and giving him a nice fine for undue noise, or in cop terms, "sounding like a dickhead"..

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
