Subject: Re: <Mys*Fit> New car

You couldnt pay me enough money to be seen standing NEAR that car - let alone ride, or even worse, drive/own that piece of shit on wheels.

Guys remember Mike is the one that will be driving it, don't give him the same SHIT you all gave me when I first got the Terios.

Yes each person has their own taste in car, but I feel comments like that should be kept to your self, would not be nice if someone turned around to you and said that your car was shit on wheels hey!!! Consider Mikes Feelings, I quite like this colourful Beast.

Think about the choice of words next time you dish out someone's car guys! I had enough shit with the Terios and it dose not make members feel welcome in the MysFit group.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Guys i just felt that this is the type of stuff we dont need going around in the club, Christian I know its your club, you make the rules but this is my view.

As a club we should all respect people for the car they drive and the person they are. [b:f578a869a0]WE DO NOT[/b:f578a869a0] Judge people on their car or dish people out if we dont like their car.

To me I love my Terios, to others they think its gay, crap, a larugh or what eva else they want to call it, but should we make the owner feel bad for the car they drive.....no!

Put your self in Mikes shoes, would you like it if someone called your car Sh1t on wheels? Its not something you like to hear is it....?

Now at the end of the day Rowan may have been joking, but lets all use this as an example of what not to do!

We are a Team and we are here to give each other support!!! SO LETS DO IT and get out there and have some fun!!!!!!!

My Two Cents

I was going to say something but you said it all. Good for you. My mate drives a Terios and he gets heckled too which is really immature and it is a fault on the idiots behalf, not the owner of the car. I feel like yelling, GROW THE f**k UP! But you can't get through to some people so you just ignore pricks like that.

Thanks for that!!! I know how that guy feels, but I just keep my head up high and worry about my self, because Iam the one that has to drive it. People like the above just give me the shits when they feel that they can just go out and hard on someone for the car they drive!

Its pretty simple really.. If you can say that you like a car, i should be able to say that i dont like it.[/quote:7f60f1078b]

That goes without saying. Free speech and all that shit. But you don't have to be a prick about it right?[/quote:7f60f1078b]

true - but what mr daihatsu was neglecting to say, was that i INITIALLY THOUGHT MILES WAS JOKING when he said it was his new car..

Obviously he wasnt as he took it very badly.. which probably means he has copped a lot of shit about it already, and will continue to do so...

But yeah , sorry if it offended you mike, but you'll need a thick skin to keep happy if you think that what i said was the worst that will be said abotu it..

Just cars were the only insurance companies that would insure me with my driving record..

that was more expensive than normal..

my advice, goto the mysfit insurance page, and contact the BROKERS they are the best way to get cheap insurance..

http://familiagtx.20m.com for all the info on the car that the insurance company might want..

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
