i need this clarified - is this a stab at ppl skidding/drifting on public streets, or ppl racing on the freeway or what?

either way not a good idea

Sounds to me like hes defending them :ninja:

oh noes - brandon save yourself

QUICK!

+1 for not going to mercury, seemed like a nice bunch of lads but they scratched my rims, put my coilovers in my old car incorrectly, then tried to charge me $160 bucks to get them adjusted..

sons of bitches

killing season?

more epicness from colin incoming

I think only one person who actually works EFI was the driver of a car that night....and the 'skids' have been well blown out of proportion especially re the numbers of them.

From the SAU club you can count Warwick, Noel, Big Dave, Chris and a few random others as very happy clients

I know you guys have opinions and i have no interest in changing them but i dont want some one to come along and only see one side of the story

I've never understood the EFI opinion tbh. Everyone I've spoken to is happy with the work and speaking to whitey before the Baskins meet and at the SAU dyno etc he comes across as a nice guy who knows what he's talking about. Vouches from Dan, Noel, Anna n Andy etc says a lot about the work they do.

and principle, absolutely.

stubbornness FTW

:ninja:

I forget, what did EFI do on your car? And who's bashing them? We already said it's not bashing, it's opinion gathering.

ahhhhh I forgot you couldn't crash when driving in a straight line!

and four lanes means that if you do crash, you can't possibly kill an innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That logic is similar to "It's ok if I drive drunk... I don't have far to go"

I understand this and agree but I am in no position to critisise how anybody else drives on the road whether it is illegal etc since I have a pretty horrendous driving record. Although I can justify each situation n fine and will argue the point I was putting nobody in danger but myself it's still dangerous and it's still illegal.

M1 on my way home the other night (middle of the night)... saw at least 70 other cars... just on the inbound side

Springbrook the other week (middle of the night)... saw....... Colin

As I said still dangerous n illegal but I couldn't care less if other people want to race down the M1. Their choice.

I'm not basing my opinion on just that night

So I hear

I have box for them ;)

I'd guess yes, but its just a guess

IMO, that does not make it ANY way better

They ALL behaved like idiots (not just talking about skids)

mercury, now theres a shop I WILL happily bash

+1

+1

Well said

The main issue I had with all the EFI crew when they came to baskins is they didn't come over n introduce themselves or talk to anyone else bar their own little group. It annoyed me and I spose it goes both ways but still...

I'm dissapointed in you brandon

+1

Tell him to show his dirty mexican face at baskins

+1 for the dirty mexican lol

Fairly sure that's a stab at John and I. Leisurely drive through the mountains at 3am in the morning but still I won't defend it I know it's wrong but I won't stop doing it. Well after Sunday I will...for awhile :)

Sounds to me like hes defending them :down:

Nah definetely not defending us lol :P N don't give me the thumbs down you were there to!

Heres how I see it: I will happily go for a spirited drive through the mountains. This can involve breaking the law, but its a stupid law that doesn't help anyone (ie stupidly low speed limits). I do it for the enjoyment of the drive, and always follow 1 rule: 7 tenths. Stick to your lane, stick to your limits, enjoy yourself. ANY form of street racing, whethere its initial D style through the mountains, or 2F2F city racing, or hektik high speed M1 runs, is DANGEROUS. Its a race, so theres no 7/10ths: its all out. Thats human nature - we want to win. So theres no margin for error, and when it goes wrong its going to go horribly wrong. This type of driving is ALWAYS dangerous, and should not be done anywhere near the street. The people who say its not their business how someone else drives, wait till that someone else kills someone you love being a d1ckhead. This is what racetracks are for. We have 2 great ones in SE QLD, it doesnt cost that much, and you can go all out and know that worst case the only people going to suffer are yourself, and other people who HAVE WILLINGLY CHOSEN to be in the same situation. At QR you can go at 11 tenths and when you f*ck up, most likely the car will come out unscathed and you can have a good laugh at it. If brown stains on your pants are more your style, give lakeside a go.

Same applies to street drifting. Drifting is great fun, but the nature of it is that it is controlled unstability: Its just not safe to do it on the street where you could lose it at any time. Do it on the track.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
