wtf? did autobahn tell you they were gonna do that to your car? lol... since when were audio installers allowed to take such big chunks out of your car?

I took out my child restraints. :P

my car didn't come with child retraints,

hmmm guessing my compliance might have been a "yea she'll b right mate, it's all good."

whilst getting a tick in the box for passing. lol

^^^ Agreed.

They probably thought that this damage will 'never see the light of day'!

Due care had to be taken to NOT WEAKEN ANY STRESS POINTS!

mate from looking at those pics i say you may be in a bit of trouble.

from what i rember reading about is that your not allowed to cut any part of the car as it may casue structal integrity and from the looks of the pics that may be the case but im not enginner so dont take my word.

how ever i would be haveing a word to autobarn about why they did that and try and get them to pay for any repairs.

brentt

ouch, lucky you're not in SA...

After they find that the parcel shelf has been cut in any way your car is blacklisted. Never to pass or be re-registered again.

Ive only heard of one person getting it fixed and engineered and it most definitely wasn't anywhere near a cheap exercise.

But that's SA for ya...

The parcel shelf issue is exactly why i bought a $30 pair of plastic speaker spacers for the 6 x 9's i installed in my Laurel when i had it.

I sold it to a guy in SA who got in trouble because part of the plastic plugs in the child restraints were covered by them......................

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
